"Sleeping Single In A Double Bed" by Barbara Mandrell

Barbara Mandrell is no stranger to the country music scene. She churned out 55 appearances on the country charts in the 70s and 80s, and was inducted into the C&W Hall of Fame in 2009. Crossover success seemed eminent when she and her sisters scored a variety show for television in the early 80s; however, her only top 40 hit remained 1979's "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want To Be Right," which got to a modest #31.

I honestly don't know why she couldn't interest top 40 radio with her pop friendly songs like the ear worm "Sleeping Single In A Double Bed." This had hit written all over it, but it bubbled under in 1978.
