This summer marks the anniversary date of the death of the Queen of Country Music...Kitty Wells. she was 92 years old. A marvelous voice that reminds me of Emmylou Harris but of course, she was before her and in fact was well before even Loretta Lynn. I remember seeing her on TV and hearing her on radio in the 50's and 60's.
I can't recall where I was or why I was there but as a kid about 12 years old I found myself in someone's house and remember being in a room for some hours with a record player and lots of LP's. I ran across one that had her picture on the front and decided to play it. I was enthralled at her voice and played if over and over. Not a flashy woman but a gentle, kind and humble sort of singer that had a career span over decades.
Most will not remember Kitty or even have heard of her. I never was that crazy about most country music but there was something about Kitty Wells I enjoyed watching and listening to her. May this fine lady rest in peace.
