45 RPMS 69: The Judds ~ Why Not Me?

Naomi Judd died today. The very first thing that flashed like lightning through my mind was her 1984 hit song, Why Not Me?, she recorded with Wynonna as the mother/daughter team, The Judds.      
 
 
 
 
Why Not Me? What a great song! A kick-ass foxtrot that could have been an Apache (dance) and only have been done C/W style. It is bouncy and smooth all at the same time for sensually, in spite of the lyrics (link below), smoothly gliding over a dance floor. How DO they come up with the wonderful things they do? 

The flip or "B" side is a gentle stroll down a Lazy Country Evening tree shaded lane. Gently drifting, a bit dreamy with a touch of beautiful yodeling thrown in, it is delightful.
