Lynn Anderson One of the top-ranked female vocalists in any musical genre, Lynn Anderson is often referred to as a "singer's singer." Her sophisticated image and "countrypolitan" sound helped her to become one of the first female country artists to achieve mass crossover appeal, and her strong vocals have garnered her more awards and accolades than many country artists combined. Billboard currently ranks Lynn Anderson among the top ten most successful country female artists for all-time record sales. By the time she turned 20, Lynn had been with a national recording company for three years, scoring a string of hits: "That's a No No," "Rocky Top," "Promises, Promises," "I've Been Everywhere," and "Big Girls Don't Cry." Her smash single "Rose Garden" was the biggest selling album by a female country artist from 1971 - 1997, when Shania Twain broke Lynn's longstanding record. In a career that spans over four decades, Lynn has scored eight NUMBER ONE records, 18 Top-Tens, and over 50 in the Top-40. She has earned a total of 17 Gold Albums and won virtually every award available to a female recording artist: CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, Academy of Country Music Award Female Vocalist of the Year (twice), American Music Award for Favorite Female Vocalist, Record World Artist of the Decade (1970-1980), Billboard's Artist of the Decade (1970-1980) and the prestigious Grammy Award. Her records have sold in the millions worldwide, many of them becoming standards. Her most recent Grammy Award nomination was in 2004 for "The Bluegrass Sessions."
