{"product_id":"leon-payne-i-love-you-because-import","title":"Leon Payne- I Love You Because [Import] (CD)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe blind Texan Leon Payne (1917-1969) is probably best remembered today as the songwriter who penned all-time classics like I Love You Because and You've Still Got A Place In My Heart, as well as two songs best known through Hank Williams' recorded versions, They'll Never Take Her Love From Me and Lost Highway. He wrote hundreds of others, too, but he was also a vital and versatile performer who recorded prolifically from 1941 through the 1960s. He gained only mid-level stardom nationwide, though he remained a popular performer in his native Southwest until his death. Leon Payne recorded for such labels as Bluebird, Bullet, Decca, Starday, 'D,' and TNT, but it was during his mid-career stint at Capitol from 1949-1953 that he reached his peak and produced his most enduring music, from his classic, chart-topping first release I Love You Because to minor hits like I'm A Lone Wolf, and underappreciated sides like I Miss That Gal, If I Could Live My Life Over, and Poke Salad Greens. Collected here are the best of his Capitol years, including all of the above, and other memorable tracks, like I Hate To Leave You, A Link In The Chain Of Broken Hearts, Mailman, and Weeping Willow, as well as several unissued sides - 30 tracks in all.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Love You Because\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Miss That Gal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePoke Salad Greens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLink in the Chain of Broken Hearts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Hate to Leave You\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind Them, Fool Them, and Leave Them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou've Still Got a Place in My Heart\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI'm a Lone Wolf\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf I Could Only Live My Life Over 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Can I Help It 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMailman 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLolita 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDid I Forget to Tell You 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSister Sue Polka 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Just Said Goodbye to My Dreams 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt's Many a Mile Back Home 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Don't Know Why 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeeping Willow 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLonely and Blue Over Someone 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestless Heart 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLyin' to My Heart 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFatal Letter 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Want You to Love Me 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI Couldn't Do a Thing Without You 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFarewell Waltz 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWouldn't It Be Wonderful 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTeach Me to Forget 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBy Your Side 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmpty Dreams 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGolden Harvest\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cp\u003eUPC \u0026gt; 4000127161956\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormat \u0026gt; New CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLabel \u0026gt; Bear Family\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShop online at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eDarkside Records\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFollow us on \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/darksiderecordspk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eInstagram\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47541733949661,"sku":"4000127161956","price":131.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/285257.jpg?v=1772602109","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/leon-payne-i-love-you-because-import","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
