For any of you who have not discovered this woman, give her a listen. And, if you think she sounds like Karen Carpenter, keep listening to her. You will hear the differences. Very talented lady.

Another song I sang as a square dance caller - surprised I did not think of this one sooner:

Gotta Travel On - Billy Grammer     https://youtu.be/f9skKTcw6h8

[ripvanwinkle96]

Used to hear that song sitting in the back of our station wagon back when I was 10. Never knew the name of the singer & title til now. I really liked country music prior to around 68'. After that every now and then a good song would come along, but nothing like the 50's and early 60's. I mean to my opinion, which don't mean diddely squat I reckon.
