"It's Such a Pretty World Today" is the title of a popular song released in 1967. The song was written by songwriter Dale Noe.

The song was originally a country music single by singer Wynn Stewart. Although Stewart had previously hit the Top 40 on the Billboard US country chart with songs such as "Wishful Thinking" in 1960, "It's Such a Pretty World Today" was Stewart's highest charting hit, peaking at No.1 on the country music chart for two weeks in the late spring of 1967. It was released as a single from his album of the same name that year.

Andy Russell version

That same year, Mexican-American singer Andy Russell recorded a cover version of the song. Russell had enjoyed quite a bit of popularity in the U.S. throughout the 1940s and 1950s, recording songs such as "Bésame Mucho" and co-starring in a short-lived daily musical show with his then-wife, Della, on ABC from 1950-1951.[2][3] After the couple divorced, Russell left the U.S. and attained great success in Mexico and Latin America as a singer, actor, and host of his own television show. He returned in the mid 1960s and tried resurrecting his singing career. Although his cover of "It's Such a Pretty World Today" failed to reach the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart (it "bubbled under", peaking at No. 119), it did spend one week at No. 1 on the adult contemporary chart, making the song the first to top the AC chart while not entering the pop chart.[4]

Other versions

Other artists who have recorded cover versions of the song include: Loretta Lynn, whose version appears on her 1967 album Singin' with Feelin'; Nancy Sinatra, who also recorded the song in 1967 and included it on her album Country, My Way that version of the song can be heard near the end of a second season episode of the AMC drama Breaking Bad.[5]; and Marie Osmond, whose version appears on her 1973 album Paper Roses. Singer Mark Dinning reached #117 in the Record World Magazine charts. The Jimmy Bowen Singers released a version of the song as a single in 1967, but it did not chart.[6]
