Hit: 5 Stars

Teddy bear, though not like anything most country singers ever recorded, was typical of Red's narrations, which also included Little Rosa, Giddy up go and Phantom 309.

The boy in Teddy bear featured in various sequels including some of Red's other songs. When offered a song about his death, Teddy bear's last ride, Red refused to record it, enabling Diana Williams to have a country hit with it. Red refused to accept that the boy was dead and retaliated by writing and recording Little Joe.

Red occasionally sang, as in I know you're married but I love you still (a song later covered by Porter and Dolly), but it is his narrations that he is best remembered for.

Red's appeal these days may be limited but when it comes to country narrations, only Porter Wagoner and Johnny Cash could match him - and their narrations weren't about truck driving. So Red Sovine was and remains unique. There will never be another like him.
