"A Teardrop on a Rose" is a song written by Hank Williams.
Background
According to Williams biographer Colin Escott, "A Teardrop on a Rose," a "parlor piece that Hank had been toying with for years," was one of several songs that he pitched to his friend Braxton Schuffert, a fellow Alabaman country singer who released the song in 1950.[1][full citation needed] When Hank asked him what he thought of the song, Shuffert later recalled, "I told him it was one of the most beautiful songs I ever heard, and Hank said I could have it if I wanted."[1][full citation needed] MGM eventually released a demo version Williams likely recorded in 1952.[2][full citation needed] Tommy Edwards and Connie Stevens each recorded a version of the song.
