During his time in Houston, Nelson sold his original "Family Bible", that turned into a hit for Claude Gray.

[1] While he joined Ray Price's band as a bass player, his songs became hits for other artists, including "Funny How Time Slips Away" (Billy Walker), "Pretty Paper" (Roy Orbison), and, most famously, "Crazy" by Patsy Cline.

Nelson was backed by guitarists Kelso Herston, Ray Edenton (who also played fiddle), Harold Bradley and Grady Martin; drummer Buddy Harman, pianist Hargus "Pig" Robbins, bassist Joe Zinkan and the Anita Kerr singers.

[5] Following the success of his top-ten duet "Willingly", "Touch Me" was released in May 1962, coupled with "Where My House Lives" on the B-side.

[7] Billboard's April review described the song as an "Interesting country-styled tune with good lyrics [...] warbled with quiet charm by Nelson".
