The Queen of Country Music has done just about everything a country artist can do: Country Music Hall of Fame, Grand Ole Opry member, multiple #1 hits, and so on.

Now, she can say she has the greatest country song of all time.

<a href="http://<!– wp:paragraph –> <p>Other sings in the Top 5 include "I Walk the Line" from the Man in Black Johnny Cash, "Crazy" by Patsy Cline, Hank Williams' "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", and "He Stopped Loving Her Today" from George Jones.</p> Rolling Stone magazine voted Jolene as the best country song of all time. Released in 1973, the song tells the story of a woman pleading with another woman not to take her man and it resonated with many people. Hitting #1 in ’73, it has stood the test of time even 50 years later with several covers and renditions, including her goddaughter Miley Cyrus.

Other sings in the Top 5 include “I Walk the Line” from the Man in Black Johnny Cash, “Crazy” by Patsy Cline, Hank Williams’ “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry”, and “He Stopped Loving Her Today” from George Jones.
