Sandy Posey (born Sandra Lou Posey, June 18, 1944)[1] is an American popular singer who enjoyed success in the 1960s with singles such as her 1966 recording of Martha Sharp's compositions "Born a Woman" and "Single Girl". She is often described as a country singer, although, like Skeeter Davis (to whom she has been frequently compared), her output has varied. Later in her career, the term "countrypolitan", associated with the "Nashville sound", was sometimes applied.[2] Posey had four hit singles in the United States, three of which peaked at number 12 on the Hot 100.[3]
^Some sources give 1947, but 1944 is more consistent with her having graduated from high school in 1962 and Posey herself has referred to her age as 21 at the time that "Born a Woman" was made in 1966: see sleeve notes for Sandy Posey's CD A Single Girl: The Very Best of the MGM Recordings (2002), which contains an extensive interview with Posey about her early career.
