Although it first charted back in November 1965, "Happy To Be With You" reaches its high of #9 on this day.
This is another of the albums that many want to forget exists (per Tost's comment above). Featuring the earlier single "Happy to Be with You," it kicks off with the title track, another sappy Cash/Carter co-write.
