That great Night Gallery segment is on again, in a haunted diner, where the jukebox keeps playing the country song:
"Words like 'til death..." and the record skips and repeats.
I was hoping there was some information on that song and artist somewhere online, because I think I finally want to cover this haunting melody with my band!
Nothing yet, anyone have information off the bat? Of so, thanks!

As I posted in alt.obituaries on 11/3/2005, 5/11/2008 and 11/23/2008
(as various threads about "Night Gallery" and/or about Jerry Wallace's
demise dictated):
The song was composed for the episode* (lyrics dashed off in three
minutes by script co-writer Gerald Sanford; music by series music
supervisor Hal Mooney), and the day after the show aired radio stations
were swamped with requests for the song. Universal was stunned by this
unexpected response but quickly had Jerry Wallace come back in and
re-record a full-length version for commercial release on its Decca
Records label, and while the single charted 9 weeks on the Billboard Hot
100, peaking at #38 for two weeks, it also ran 17 weeks on Billboard's
country singles chart, 3 of them at #1.
