HMR Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Was listening to this on You Tube and heard her mention International Harvester in her patter before singing the song. While my hearing is not the greatest, I thought I heard her say that her dad worked for International Harvester in East Moline and would listen to country music with his friends on the way to and from work. Wiki says that her hometown is Aledo, Illinois, about 25 or 30 miles south of the Quad Cities, and is the county seat of Mercer County. Give a listen.

1256pickett Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I always thought she had one of the most beautiful voices I’ve ever heard sing. Actually there were quite a few women from that era of country music that were easy on the ears and eyes too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vtfireman85 Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Good Lord, is she still alive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dzldenny Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 I always thought she had a great voice. I loved watching her sing too. So effortless. Some singers have to strain to sing and still didn't sound near as good. Cool find. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC_Ranger Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Yes, her Dad worked for IH. She mentions it often. I saw her back in the fall of 2019 in a small old time theater that gets in a lot of older or second string acts. She still has a great voice and did a great show. Still easy on the eyes also, but like a lot of us who remember her from the 80's, she is getting close to the golden years. That was 40 years ago....... The theater is close to Dave Downs or where Bitty lived when he was downstate, about 45 minutes from me. I wish I was closer, I would be there a couple times a month. I saw Rhonda Vincent the other year, Ray Willie Huber, Rodney Crowell, Brent Cobb, and Corb Lund are some of the recent acts. They do all types of shows. It is a great place.

twood1954 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 I went to school at Aledo, Suzy was freshman when I was senior. Great voice and very nice lady who was fun to talk to. She was lifeguard at the local pool. Not hard to look. at. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
