About the song:
“Satin Sheets” hit country radio in March 1973, aided by 1,600 pink satin sheets that Jeanne cut by hand and sent to radio programmers and music executives across the nation. The international hit topped the country charts that May.
The song was such a big hit it became a modest crossover hit, reaching No. 28 on the Billboard Hot 100. “Satin Sheets” went on to become Pruett’s biggest hit and career hit, as well as a signature Country tune of the 1970s. The song was revolutionary for Country music at the time, for its open discussion of sex. The song talks of how a housewife is unhappy with her marriage to a man who only gives gifts to his wife instead of giving her real love. An album of the same name was released that year, that topped the “Top Country Albums” chart as well. The album featured Pruett lying in a pink bed, with pink satin clothes and satin sheets. Because of the song’s success, Pruett was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry.
