Kitty Wells

This post was prompted by NPR's 50 Great Voices Series. This this week's segment was on Kitty Wells.

She is now 91 years old, and no longer performs in public, but she had a career that lasted several decades, and was one of the first women to make it big in country music. She had an unadorned signing style that she always remained true to, no matter what the fashion was.

Here is her monster hit, "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels"



"A Woman Half My Age"



"Making Believe"
