1	* CoveredUp: Many times:
2	** "Am I Losing You" was a Top 10 hit for Jim Reeves... twice.
3	** "(I'd Be) a Legend in My Time" was originally a Don Gibson song. Milsap's cover changes it from a waltz to 4/4 time.
4	** "Too Late to Worry, Too Blue to Cry" is an Al Dexter cover.
5	** "What a Difference You've Made in My Life" was released by Amy Grant at the same time.
6	** Burt Bacharach's "Any Day Now" had been recorded by Chuck Jackson, Alan Price and Elvis Presley. Ronnie's version is the most famous.
7	** "Don't You Ever Get Tired (Of Hurting Me)" had been recorded by Ray Price (both solo and as a duet with Music/WillieNelson), going to #11 both times. Ronnie's version was a #1.
8	** "Since I Don't Have You" is a doo-wop standard originally by The Skyliners and later made famous by Music/DonMcLean.
9	** "Snap Your Fingers" had been recorded many times, first by Joe Henderson.
10	** Going the other way, Dottsy had a hit in 1977 with "(After Sweet Memories) Play Born to Lose Again", which Milsap cut two years prior.
11	* RetroactiveRecognition: Creator/MariskaHargitay of ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'' fame appears in the music video for 1984's "She Loves My Car."
12	* SampledUp: "Lost in the Fifties Tonight" samples "In the Still of the Night", a 1956 doo-wop hit by the Five Satins.
13	* SignatureSong: A whole bunch of candidates, but "Smoky Mountain Rain" stands out, having been named one of the official state songs of UsefulNotes/{{Tennessee}} in 2010.
14	* SuspiciouslySimilarSong:
15	** A deliberate case with "Smoky Mountain Rain". Milsap loved Music/ElvisPresley's "Kentucky Rain" (a song he'd done backing vocals on) and asked songwriters Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan to write a song with similar ingredients.
16	** "Back on My Mind Again" is a thinly-disguised musical rewrite of [[Music/AbbeyRoad "Octopus's Garden"]] by Music/TheBeatles (specifically, the song's hook is simply the "Octopus's Garden" hook with two extra notes shoved in).
