Radio de Jean Shepard

Ollie Imogene Shepard, known professionally as Jean Shepard (November 21, 1933) is an American country music singer-songwriter, who was one of the first female Country music stars and had a series of hits between the 1950s and 1970s. After the breakthrough of Kitty Wells in 1952, Shepard entered Country music and became only the second female Country singer to be able to sustain her success as a solo artist. She has a series of major hits in the 1950s, and her exposure on television and the Grand Ole Opry helped her to become a major star at the time when few female Country singers had permanent success. Her early hit duet ?A Dear John Letter,? sung with Ferlin Husky, was the first post-World War II country record by a woman to sell a million copies. [1]
