Sammi Smith's version of "Help Me Make It Through the Night" is considered one of the great country performances.
OKLAHOMA CITY, Oklahoma (AP) -- Country singer Jewel "Sammi" Smith, known for her trademark ballad, "Help Me Make It Through The Night," and a knack for sharing everyday life in her music, died Saturday. She was 61.
Smith died at home after a long-term illness; the Guardian West Funeral Home did not release further details.
Smith won a Grammy for best country vocal performance-female in 1971 for "Help Me Make It Through The Night," which was written by Kris Kristofferson.
Smith produced her first hit, "So Long Charlie Brown," in 1967. Six years later, she moved to Dallas, where she joined the "Outlaw Movement" with Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings.
Smith also found time to celebrate her Apache heritage. She was a frequent visitor to an Apache reservation in Arizona, where she made pottery and jewelry.

If you people
really want peace around here it might help by actually taking the time to do the research before accusing me of posting this news first when I didn't. Also, alaara and I are NOT the same person. If you and others continue to question our identities, I'm sure a moderator would be glad to look into it to settle that for you. The sooner this sort of stuff is put to a halt maybe you will finally get the peace you all supposedly want so bad.

Johnathan calm down dude. He was just jokeing. And the only reason that anyone confuse you and the other guy is because y'all act as if you could be brothers.

I'm just guessing here, but if some people's buttons weren't so easily pushed maybe other people wouldn't push them so often.
