Sandy Posey

Walking the line separating girl group pop and the Nashville Sound, Sandy Posey scored a pair of major hits with her first two singles, "Born a Woman" and "Single Girl," both made number 12 on the charts in 1966. Posey possessed a high, keening voice that bore only the slightest twang, a characteristic she would begin to emphasize after "I Take It Back" became her last Top 40 hit in 1967 (it, like its predecessors, peaked at 12). With the help of Tammy Wynette's producer Billy Sherrill, Posey transitioned to country music in the 1970s, earning a string of country hits that ran through the decade. After several quiet decades, Posey returned to the studio in the 2000s, recording an album for King Records and re-recording her hits elsewhere.
