""Why Baby Why" is the title of a country music song co-written and originally recorded by George Jones. Released in late 1955 on Starday Records and produced by Starday co-founder and Jones' manager Pappy Daily, it peaked at 4 on the Billboard country charts that year. It was Jones' first chart single, following several unsuccessful singles released during the prior year on Starday. Recording and composition Jones's first chart hit, "Why Baby Why", has gone on to become a country standard, having been covered by many artists. The recording session for "Why Baby Why" took place in Houston, Texas's Gold Star Studios and featured the house lineup of Glenn Barber on lead guitar, Herb Remington on pedal steel guitar, Tony Sepolio on fiddle, and Doc Lewis on piano. The arrangement is upbeat honky tonk, led by a fiddle that plays throughout the song. Overall, the song has been described as a classic of the "finger-pointin' cheatin' song". In the liner notes to the retrospective Cup Of Loneliness: The Classic Mercury Years, country music historian Colin Escott observes that part of the song's appeal "lay in the way a Cajun dance number was trying to break free of a honky tonk song." Jones recorded the backing vocal himself, with help from innovative techniques from engineer Bill Quinn, after a planned appearance by more established singer Sonny Burns did not materialize due to the latter's drinking. According to the book George Jones: The Life and Times of a Honky Tonk Legend, Jones's frequent songwriting partner Darrell Edwards was inspired to write the words after hearing an argument between a couple at a gas station. The lyric sets up the theme of the song: Credits and personnel For the 1955 Original recording. *George Jones – vocals, acoustic *Herb Remington – steel *Lew Brisby – bass *Tony Sepolio – fiddle *Doc Lewis – piano Reception The single's early airplay occurred in Jones' home state of Texas, with Houston's country music station KIKK ranking it number one locally. Their charts were sent to stations around the country, which began to pick it up as well, partially overcoming Starday's regionally limited distribution. However, its progress on the chart was blunted by Red Sovine and Webb Pierce's cover duet, which benefited from Decca Records' major label status and national distribution and rose to number one on the chart over the 1955–1956 Christmas holiday period. Jones's rendition was later included as the first track on his 1957 debut album Grand Ole Opry's New Star. Cover versions Since the release of Jones' rendition, "Why Baby Why" has been covered by several other artists, many of whom have also charted with it. Jones himself re-recorded it a couple of times as a duet; first with Gene Pitney for their It's Country Time Again! album released in 1966, and with Ricky Skaggs for the 1994 album The Bradley Barn Sessions which featured re-recordings of Jones' songs as duets with various artists. Two different versions of the song have reached Number One on the country charts, making it one of the only country songs to hold that distinction. Artists who have had country chart hits with renditions of this song include the following: *Red Sovine and Webb Pierce, #1 in 1956 *Hank Locklin, #9 later in 1956 *Warren Smith and Shirley Collie, #23 in 1961 *Charley Pride, #1 in 1983 *Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson recorded the song for their 1983 album Take It to the Limit. *The Good Brothers, #20 in 1991 in CanadaRPM Country Tracks - Volume 53, No. 10, February 09 1991 *Palomino Road, #46 in 1992 *Patty Loveless cut the song in 2008.

"Jiangnan Daying ( or the Jiangnan Battalion; (first battalion: 1853–1856; second battalion: 1857–1860) was an army group assembled by the Qing dynasty. The army group consist of mostly Green Standard Army, and their goal was to quell the Taiping Rebellion around the Jiangnan region. The army group twice encircled Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but were defeated by the Taiping forces on both occasions. First Jiangnan DaYing Time 1853—1856: when the armies of the Taiping Rebellion occupied Nanjing, after 10 days Xiang Rong in command of a 10,000 strong Green Standard Army tracked them to Taiping and stationed outside the Nanjing wall. Headquarters The headquarters of the Jiangnan DaYing were located in Ming Xiaoling Mausoleum. Leaders Imperial Commissioner: First Class Senior General Xiang Rong () Military commander: Second Class Senior General Her Chyun Lieutenant General: Zhang GuoLiang Taiping Generals Shi Dakai, Yang Xiuqing, Qin Rigang (), Li Xiucheng Strength The 80,000 soldiers in the regular Army faced 460,000+ in the Taiping Rebellion militia force. Outcome On June 1, 1856, an army tried to stop the Taiping forces but the Governor of Jiangsu Jeer Hungar (), Mayor of Nanjing, lost and his army of 7,800 were all killed. There was a heated battle from June 16 to June 20, but the Qing army of 80,000 was defeated and the surviving 36,000 followers of Xiang Rong retreated north. On August 9, Xiang Rong committed suicide in Danyang, but this strategy stopped the forces' march north. Second Jiangnan DaYing Time 1858—1860 Headquarters Leaders Imperial Commissioner: First Class Senior General Her Chyun Viceroy of Liangjiang: He Guiqing () (escaped to Shanghai and was executed by Qing) Military commander: Second Class Senior General Zhang GuoLiang (KIA early May 1860) Governor of Zhejiang province 1st Luo Zundian () (died early March 1860, forced suicide) Governor of Zhejiang province 2nd Wang Youling () (died early October 1861, forced suicide) Governor of Jiangsu province Xu Youren () (KIA December 21, 1860) Lieutenant General: Zhang YuLiang () (KIA October 1861) Lieutenant General: Zhou Tengso () (KIA middle of May 1860) Lieutenant General: Wang Jung () (KIA late April 1860) Victory of Taiping Generals Li Xiucheng, Lai Wenguang, Tong Zonghai (), Chen Yucheng, Yang Fuqing (), Li Shixian, Liu Qeuling () Strength The regular Army had only 180,000 soldiers while the Taiping Rebellion militia force had at least 560,000 soldiers. Outcome Taiping Rebellion forces occupied Jiangsu in 1860. The next year, they occupied Zhejiang. The Jiangnan DaYing was destroyed. The Second Opium War took place and the Xianfeng Emperor died in 1861. The Xiang Army and Huai Army combined to become the Green Standard Army in 1862 and for the third time they surrounded and attacked Nanjing, successfully ending the civil war in July 1864. Commentary The Jiangnan DaYing had trouble making payroll for its forces, and these forces were insufficient to fight off the British and French forces in northern China. The leaders intrigued against each other: Xiang Rong () and Her Chyun in the first Jiangnan DaYing Her Chyun group, and the He Guiqing and Zeng Guofan groups disputed inner officials' system, which allowed the Taiping Rebellion to gain momentum. Her Chyun could use the Brigadier General's works but he belittled the Taiping Rebellion, He Guiqing's cowardice and Zeng Guofan's selfishness, which were the three reasons for their loss.
