Leona Williams talks about her exes Merle Haggard & Ferlin Husky

In the mid-1970s, Leona Williams joined Merle Haggard's road band The Strangers, supplanting his estranged wife, Bonnie Owens. She wrote several of Haggard's songs, including two of his No. 1 hits, "Someday When Things Are Good", and "You Take Me For Granted". She also wrote songs for Connie Smith ("Dallas"), Loretta Lynn ("Get Whatcha Got And Go"), Tammy Wynette ("Broad-Minded") and George Jones ("Best Friends"), among others. In 1978, Williams and Haggard charted in the country Top Ten with the song "The Bull and the Beaver." In 1981, she charted another duet with Haggard titled "We're Strangers Again." #classiccountry #leonawilliams #honkytonkwomen
