Question: Hopelessly Yours was originally recorded by which American country singer for his album Perfect Strangers?
Context: Delicious Surprise is the fourth album by American country music artist Jo Dee Messina, released in 2005.  Her first studio album since "Burn" almost five years previous, it produced a Number One single on the "Billboard" country music charts in "My Give a Damn's Busted", a song co-written by country singer Joe Diffie and originally recorded on his 2001 album "In Another World".  Additional singles released from "Delicious Surprise" include "Delicious Surprise (I Believe It)", "Not Going Down", and "It's Too Late to Worry", all of which charted in the Top 40 on the country charts as well.  The album has been certified Gold by the RIAA. "(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers" is a song written by Liz Anderson.  Best remembered as American country music artist Merle Haggard's first national top ten record, it was also a top ten song concurrently for Roy Drusky.  The song is also known as "All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers", "(From Now On) All My Friends Are Gonna Be Strangers", and simply "Strangers".  Haggard went on to name his band The Strangers after the record's success.  The song was subsequently recorded by scores of additional country stars as an album track including George Jones, Ernest Tubb, Porter Wagoner, Ferlin Husky, as well as Liz Anderson herself and Anderson's daughter Lynn Anderson. In a Different Light is the tenth studio album released by American country music artist Doug Stone.  It was his first album for Lofton Creek Records.  Two re-recordings of his older songs are included here: "In a Different Light" (originally on his 1990 album "Doug Stone") and "Why Didn't I Think of That" (originally on his 1992 album "From the Heart").  Also included are four covers: "Georgia on My Mind" (the official state song for the state of Georgia), and "Only You (And You Alone)" (originally recorded by The Platters).  and Crazy Love (originally recorded by Van Morrison) and tell it like it is (originally recorded by Aaron Neville) The Battle Rages On... is the fourteenth studio album by the British hard rock band Deep Purple, released in 1993.  It is the last album recorded with the band's classic Mk II line-up, which reunited for a second time (the first reunion being for 1984's "Perfect Strangers").  Even though Mike DiMeo was initially chosen as the singer for the album after Joe Lynn Turner was fired, Ian Gillan eventually returned to the band in late 1992 and had to rework much of the material already existing for it, which had been intended for Joe Lynn Turner and DiMeo.  After his firing, Turner would admit Ritchie Blackmore referred to the album as "The cattle grazes on".  Blackmore became infuriated at the non-melodic elements and quit mid tour after the show of 17 November in Helsinki, Finland.  American guitarist Joe Satriani joined Deep Purple as a temporary replacement for the duration of the tour.  A handful of working tracks written during "The Battle Rages On..." sessions would turn up on subsequent solo releases by Turner, under different titles. Red River Blue is the sixth studio album by American country music artist Blake Shelton.  It was released on July 12, 2011, via Warner Bros.  Records, and is Shelton's inaugural No. 1 album on the "Billboard" 200 chart, debuting at the top spot on July 30, 2011.  Its first single, "Honey Bee," peaked at number 1 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs chart.  The album's second single is "God Gave Me You", written and originally recorded by Christian rock singer Dave Barnes.  The title track is a duet with Shelton's former wife and fellow country singer Miranda Lambert. "I Love You" is a song written by Keith Follesé, Adrienne Follesé and Tammy Hyler, and recorded by American country singer Martina McBride.  It was released in July 1999 as the first single from her album "Emotion".  McBride originally recorded "I Love You" for the 1999 film's soundtrack, "Runaway Bride", starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.  The promotion the song got on the soundtrack is one of the reasons for its high chart performance.  The single was then released on her upcoming album. "Hopelessly Yours" is a song written by Keith Whitley, Curly Putman, and Don Cook.  The song was originally recorded by John Conlee on his album "Perfect Strangers" for 16th Avenue Records.  It was released as the album's third single in 1989 and peaked at number 67 on the "Billboard" Hot Country Singles chart.  Before its release, Conlee included it as the B-side to his 1989 single "Hit the Ground Runnin'", which peaked at number 43.  George Jones also cut the song for his 1986 LP "Wine Colored Roses". "One Little Kiss" is a country song written by Ashley Gorley, Jimmy Robbins, and Shane McAnally.  It was originally recorded by American country singer Jake Owen for his 2013 studio album, "Days of Gold", under the title "One Little Kiss (Never Killed Nobody)".

Smith's version was released April 22, 2016 through 604 Records as the second single off his third studio album, "Side Effects" (2016).
