As Sandy has pointed out, there are several women who have given a punch or a kick to music and country in particular since that is genre we are discussing at the moment. And Kitty Wells is deserving of being in that elite company of ladies Sandy mentioned. I am glad that I came along at a time when singers like Kitty Wells had a chance and a presence in country music. I still prefer Kitty Wells to the 'so called big names' who get the air play and big recording contracts in these times. Glad she got the break she needed, and that she had a long and outstanding run as one of the top singers in the business. She earned all the respect and admiration we can heap on her. And she wears it with dignity. Ms Wells, much thanks for the music you have given us.
