Background
Jones composed "Treasure of Love" with J. P. Richardson, better known as the Big Bopper, who also wrote Jones' first No. 1 country hit "White Lightning." Jones biographer Bob Allen describes Jones' "languid, drawling" singing as "more reminiscent of the diphthong-twisting style of Oklahoma honky-tonk king Hank Thompson than anything he'd ever recorded."[2] The single's B-side, "If I Don't Love You (Grits Ain't Groceries)," became a minor hit, peaking at No. 29 on the charts.
Discography
gollark: Nobody wanted to still be allowed to in "exceptional circumstances", but we decided that in any circumstance which actually was very exceptional he should not be concerned about being banned from a discord server.
gollark: The staff team has roughly converged on "no extensive information gathering", which is roughly what the rule is.
gollark: I mean, the nobody thing was mostly a misunderstanding and he did not actually violate the rules *as we have now*.
gollark: That seems like a weird analogy.
gollark: Probably.
