I hate it when they do this!!

#9 Crying Time - Ray Charles??

Great song, great performance, but it was not a "Country Song" the way ray sang it. That would be like giving Pat Boone credit for as a "soul" artist for some of his cover versions.

Buck Owens wrote and performed the song and should get credit.

Here is a taste of Buck's version (warning, Rhinestone Cowboy alert!): Crying Time - by Buck Owens

Speaking of which, Vaughn Monroe’s “non-country” version of Ghost Riders in the Sky is pretty classic.
