The song was twice recorded by American country music artist George Jones: first released on the album "The Crown Prince of Country Music" retitled "One Woman Man" in 1960, and later as "I'm a One Woman Man" released in November 1988 as the first single from his album "One Woman Man".  It peaked at number 5 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles chart in early 1989 and it would be his final Top 10 solo hit.  His final appearance on the Top-10 country singles chart arrived a year later as part of a duet recording with Randy Travis.

Though Parton and Wagoner had each topped the charts as solo artists, and many of their duet singles had reached the country top-ten, "Please Don't Stop Loving Me" was their only chart-topper as a duet act.  The single stayed at number one for one week and spent a total of ten weeks on the country chart.

Lane Brody (born September 24, 1955 in Oak Park, Illinois) is an American country music singer-songwriter, active since the early 1980s, best known for her 1984 Billboard-topping country hit "The Yellow Rose" (a duet with country music singer Johnny Lee), and for the Oscar-nominated song "Over You" from the 1983 film "Tender Mercies".

"The Battle" is a song by American country music artist George Jones.  It was composed by Norro Wilson, George Richey, and Linda Kimball and became the title track of Jones' 1976 LP.  The song uses war as a metaphor in describing an argument and eventual reconciliation between a couple, with the woman emerging victorious and the narrator exclaiming, "Oh, what a sweet surrender!"  The song begins with the sound of drums mimicking the start of a battle march.  Despite Billy Sherrill's ambitious production and Jones' committed vocal performance, the single did not crack the Top 10, stalling at #16 and continued the singer's commercial slide as a solo artist.  Meanwhile, the single "Golden Ring," a duet with his estranged ex-wife Tammy Wynette, became a #1 hit that same year.
