Ditto the 'Single Girl', JLBCLT. I preferred that one; me a rock-n-roll NYC punk who'd get razzed about my liking for C&W.
The gang had a wee Part 15-type AM transmitter going for a while, on a few back and forth spots like 820, 840, 900 kHz. The thing got out the usual legal distance, though at times we'd hook it up to an antenna that stretched a bit further than the mandated 10 feet. See, three of us were quite avid AM-dial DXers as well.
Our 'Chief Engineer' lived four blocks away from the so-called studio. One night he was spinning dial at his house and 'Single Girl' was blasting out of his radio on 840.
He immediately did a quadruple-take; went 'What the (heck)!' and waited for the station to identify. But it wasn't us; it wasn't me. It was WHAS Louisville.

Strange thing was, her big '60s singles were played only on Top 40 radio; never charted country, despite the very Nashville-sounding production, especially on "Single Girl," with that Floyd Cramer-ish piano. In the '70s, she recorded several songs for the country music market and they all stalled at mid-chart or lower.

I wasn't aware of her career past her 60s hits.
