Retro Single Review: George Strait, “You’re Something Special to Me”
January 11, 2012
1985 | Peak: #4
Deceptively simple.
“You’re Something Special to Me” is so laid back that it’s easy to miss the craftsmanship. As Strait channels a young Merle Haggard, a slow western swing arrangement surrounds him with warmth.
When people say he’s country music’s Sinatra, this is what they’re talking about.

Another great George tune
It’s a perfect slow shuffle for dancing and one of the early romantic hits George is famous for…:)
