Sea of Heartbreak

Someone said:

Don Gibson wrote "Oh, Lonesome Me" and "Sea of Heartbreak" on the same day. There can't be more than a handful of songwriters in history to write two great hits in just a single day.  

In addition, his "I Can't Stop Loving You" was the B-side of "Oh, Lonesome Me." Not fact-checked.

Brexit: a "sea of heartbreak." 

Sea of Heartbreak, Don Gibson
