Written by John Volinkaty, “Satin Sheets” was originally recorded as a duet by Bill Anderson and Jan Howard. The song appeared on their third collaborative album, Bill and Jan (or Jan and Bill). However, the duo’s release experienced little success and, according to CountryThangDaily, Pruett’s producer, Walter Haynes, believed a subtle change to the song’s introduction and beginning lyrics would be just what it needed to become a hit.
Released in February of 1973, Pruett’s solo version of “Satin Sheets” reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart and became her only entry on the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 28. The tune also gained international attention, charting in Australia and Canada.
According to the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame, “Satin Sheets” only took Volinkaty, a native of the state, “five minutes to write, a year to sell, and three years to make it big.” And, over the years, many artists have put their own spin on the song. Among them are Dolly Parton, Tammy Wynette, Loretta Lynn, and Martina McBride.
