"Back Street Affair" is a song written by country singer Billy Wallace and Nashville songwriter Jimmy Rule, and released by Wallace in April 1952. In August 1952 Webb Pierce released his version. Pierce's song was his third straight number one single on the C&W Best Seller charts, where it stayed at number one for two weeks.^[1] The song was first offered to Hank Williams, then the undisputed "King" of country music. He was singing it on his early morning radio shows and that's how Webb Pierce first heard it. Fred Rose, Hank's music publisher and unofficial manager wouldn't let Hank record it saying it was too risky, as it was a little risque for the time. Hank told Webb ..."I think anyone's got guts enough to record it has got themselves a number one hit." ^[2]

In 1953, Kitty Wells, had a hit song with an answer record entitled, "Paying For That Back Street Affair" which reached number six on the C&W Best Seller charts.^[3]
Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn covered the song as a duet on their second studio album Lead Me On, released on February 7, 1972 by Decca Records
John Prine covered the song on his 1999 album In Spite of Ourselves
Van Morrison covered the song on his 2006 album Pay the Devil
