Connie Smith(I)
- Actress
- Soundtrack
Widely regarded as one of country music's finest female vocalists,
Connie Smith had a blockbuster smash right off the bat with her first
record release in 1964, "Once A Day", a song that remained at number
one on the charts for several months. Virtually every other record
Smith released for the next decade was a top ten smash for her and she
also racked up numerous Grammy award nominations. Smith remained one of
country's top female stars into the late 1970's when she decided to
step back a bit from the limelight. Her personal life has been less
smooth than her career at times with three failed marriages although
she has been happily married to country star
Marty Stuart, seventeen years her junior,
since 1997. Her powerhouse vocals thrill audiences as much as ever as
she enters her seventies and moves toward 50th anniversary of career in
music.
