Singer, songwriter whose 1970 "Rose Garden" was a country and pop hit. Died July 30, 2015. Born September 26, 1947, in Grand Forks, North Dakota.
She penned Merle Haggard's "I Am a Lonesome Fugitive" and "(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers." In 1967 she began appearing on ABC's Lawrence Welk Show. She won a Grammy in 1971 for "(I Never Promised You) A Rose Garden."
I listened to both "Rose Garden" and "Stranger" returning from North Carolina on Thursday. These songs were on a 100-song group of CDs called Country Party. That was the day she died.
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
