Kitty Wells. Nashville, Tennessee, 30.8.1919-
Grew up in a musical family. In spite of the tone & content of "It was,nt god........" she was a very modest homeloving wife & mother who did,nt think much of the song at first. Married Johnnie Wright, cabinet maker & aspiring country singer in 1937. With her husband & sister in law formed Johnnie Wright & the harmony girls. Her real name was Ellen Muriel Deason, & it was only after the war that she adopted the stage name Kitty Wells, which was taken from an old folk song called "My sweet Kitty Wells". After the war she performed regularly on the "Louisianna Hayride" backing Johnnie & Jack, (her huisband & her brother in law, who was eventually killed in a car accident). She made a few records from 1949 onwards but with no success, until in 1952 she was persuaded to answer Hank Thompsons "Wild side of life" with the womans perspective! She continued to have hits into the mid 1960,s, sometimes in the form of duets with Red Foley or Webb Pierce. Even in her 80,s she still continues to play concerts & festivals. She was inducted into the country music hall of fame in 1976, & has never lost her rural accent & old time phrasing.
