Short story:

Willie Nelson releases a new single, Willingly, on Liberty Records in the USA. The song, a duet with Shirley Collie, will provide Nelson with his first Top Ten Single on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart in the USA. Nelson's career, blossoming after this hit, will inspire jazz trumpet virtuoso Miles Davis to compose and record a track entitled Willie Nelson in 1970. The two artists were longtime fans of each other's music.
