There was once a beautiful young woman who lived in a hilltop house that
overlooked the lights of a big city. Everywhere she went people ran to
her and called her by name. Millions of people would gather to hear her
sing.
This introduction sounds more like the “Cinderella” fairytale
than the life history of a country music songstress, but it describes to
a ‘Tee’ the story of Lynn Anderson.
Four years ago the entertainment industry didn’t know Lynn
Anderson. Today millions have heard her sing: she’s sold hundreds of
thousands of albums, she’s been a regular on the ABC Network, Lawrence
Welk Show, and her records are heard every day on Country Music radio
stations all over the world. (She has even put a couple of her German
hits in this album).
Lynn has done a lot of enviable things in her 23 years. She
left Sacramento, California at the age of 19 years with her songwriter
mother, Liz Anderson, and literally captured the heart of Nashville,
Tenn. Mama Liz wrote a song called “Ride, Ride, Ride”; Chart Records
president Slim Williamson recorded it with Lynn, and a new star was
born.
But that was in 1966. Today Lynn is a beautiful wife (Mrs.
Glen Sutton) living in a beautiful home overlooking the city of
Nashville. She divides her hours among her four interests: her husband,
her home, her singing, and her quarter horse.
Lynn’s singing has always remained a “funtime” thing. Unlike
many country artists she has never been forced to work the beer joints,
and road houses to keep food on the table. Lynn only entertains because
she wants to, maybe that’s the reason she has remained so fresh and
vivacious an entertainer . . . . and maybe it’s also the reason she’s
come so far so fast
