     For my money, it'd be the Louvin Brothers' version, but your mileage
may vary.  BR5-49 also did a decent version on their live EP that
probably turned a lot of younger folks onto the song.  I don't have my
copy of the "Billboard" book in front of me, but I believe that the
Wilburn Brothers also had a decent hit with the song circa 1960.
