Wild74 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Singer Kitty Wells, whose hits such as "Making Believe" and "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" made her the first female superstar of country music, died Monday. She was 92. The singer's family said she died peacefully at home after complications from a stroke. Her solo recording career lasted from 1952 to the late 1970s and she made concert tours from the late 1930s until 2000. That year, she announced she was quitting the road, although she performed occasionally in Nashville and elsewhere afterward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 C&W not being my area of specialty, I first heard of her on one of Casey Kasem's countdowns - she was recognized for being one of the first dominating Billboard charters. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 "It Wasnt God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels" was the answer song to Hank Thompson's "The Wild Side Of Life." Love the character her voice had. You wont hear that today in mainstream country. R.I.P. Mrs. Wells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
