"Homecoming". I know Tom T. Hall did it, but I think David does it better, my favorite song by him.

Charles David Houston (born December 9, 1938 in Bossier City, Louisiana; died November 30, 1993 in Bossier City) was an American country music singer. His peak in popularity came between the mid-1960s through the early 1970s.
David Houston was a descendent of Gen. Robert E. Lee and Texas Gov. Sam Houston, and godson of 1920s pop singer Gene Austin.
Houston was one of the earliest artists with National Recording Corporation in Atlanta, releasing two NRC singles.
In 1963, David Houston rose to national stardom with the single "Mountain of Love"; the song, which was different from the tune made famous by composer Harold Dorman, Johnny Rivers and Charley Pride, rose to No. 2 on Billboard magazine's Hot Country Singles chart. Another song, 1965's "Livin' in a House Full of Love" did just as well.

I think of the song "Almost Persuaded" then I think of the duets he did with Tammy Wynette. I also think about how he was so successful then dropped like a rock to the ground almost overnight.
