"Loved 'Em Every One" is a 1981 single written by Phil Sampson and recorded by T.G. Sheppard. "I Loved 'Em Every One" would be T.G. Sheppard's seventh number one on the country chart. The single stayed at number one for one week and spent ten weeks on the country chart.[1] The song also became Shepperd's only top-40 single on Billboard's Hot 100, reaching #37.
The song is a man's tribute to all the women he had encountered through the years. The women apparently come from a variety of backgrounds and sizes ("big or little, or short or tall"), and have had as few as one meeting with him. The man then says he wishes he could have "kept them all."
