What's The Reason I'm Not Pleasin' You

Post by Doug Seymour »

I'm a Band in a Box tune collector & if I think of a tune I've liked some time or other
I try to add it to my collection of over 1,000 tunes. Sometimes I have to do it from memory, but I like to be accurate if possible. I had this tune on a 78 as I recall
by the "Country Allstars" maybe on RCA ? I
think Chet Atkins was on it & Homer & Jethro.
I never heard the tune anywhere else, but I liked the tune & when it popped into my head
last night I decided to add it today. Anyone
else out there ever heard the tune? I have it OK except for the bridge & I don't recall how that went. Any help anybody?

My version lists 4 writers last names
Hatch, Tomlin, Poe, Grier

opening lyrics
Why don't we get along
Everything I do is wrong
I can't find any listings though in Ascap or BMI

Hi Doug. How ya doing up there. I did a little searching and came up with this 60 second Mills Bros. sound clip. Maybe it will help jog your memory.

Bobby Edwards also recorded a song called "What's the Reason I'm Not Pleasin' You" as a follow up to his hit "You're The Reason." Not sure if it's the same one mentioned here though.

What makes this forum great? PEOPLE ! Thanks
everyone! I've got the chord progression straight, next the words & maybe I can get the melody from Jon's sound bite by the Mills Bros. That's the tune! Thanks again!

Bobby Edwards did record it. The Country All
Stars did the song, vocal by Homer. I always
liked the song, Cause I'm getting alot older.
You have the writers ok. . The four names.
