Why did Patsy Montana sing?

Answer 1

As with most singers, Patsy Montana wanted to be a big recording star. In 1935, her hit, "I Wanna Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart," was the first million-selling record by a woman.

Born near Hot Springs, Arkansas, Patsy was the only girl in a family with ten boys, so she learned independence early. She taught herself to sing, yodel, and play the guitar and fiddle while growing up.

She polished her violin skills at the University of the West (what is known today as UCLA). But, she wanted to be involved in western music. Patsy Montana continued to perform in the United States and Europe until her death on May 3, 1996.

Also, Patsy Montana joined Buck Owens, and Ray Price as inductees to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1996.
