The year 2007 marked the 35th year since my first recording session turned out a number one song, TESTING 1-2-3, in Canada, on the Country Music Charts, earning me a Gold Record. Thinking back, I remember Sammi Smith with her smash hit, Help Me Make It Through The Night, and Jeannie C Riley with her smash hit, Harper Valley P.T.A. Most people don’t remember that those singers actually did have other songs on the charts. It just happened that those two songs were such monster hits, never to be equaled by another one from them of the same magnitude. We consider them “one hit wonders”. I kind of fit that same category. Testing 1-2-3 was such a huge hit for me, and although I did have other songs make it to the charts, just like Sammi and Jeannie, none ever compared with my first one. But hey! How many people can even boast of that success! Not bad for a little girl who grew up in the country, attending a one room school for her first six grades, and then going on to take her music overseas as well as at home. My success is small compared to many, but I wouldn’t trade what I have been able to do for anything in the world. I plan to celebrate my accomplishments all year long in one way or another. If you see me out and about, come and say “Hi! Keep it Country!”.
