Honky Tonk Angel 1952 Magnet

"It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" is a 1952 country song written by J. D. "Jay" Miller, and recorded by Kitty Wells. It was an answer song to the Hank Thompson hit "The Wild Side of Life." The song — which blamed unfaithful men for creating unfaithful women — became the first No. 1 Billboard country hit for a solo woman artist. In addition to helping establish Wells as country music's first major female star, "It Wasn't God..." paved the way for other women artists and songs where women call out unfaithful men. It was preserved by the National Recording Registry in 2007. Country music history aside, if you've always considered yourself a honky tonk angel, now you can let everyone know!
