In 1970, Kris Kristofferson wrote "Help Me Make It Through the Night," but Dottie West rejected it, believing it was too controversial. The song was nearly forgotten—until Sammi Smith changed just one word: "Take the ribbon from your hair" became "Take the ribbon from my hair." "One word gave the song a woman's voice." The bold change shocked Nashville, sent the song to #1 on the country charts, sold over 2 million records, and earned a Grammy. Sometimes one word is all it takes to make history.
