I don't listen to country much. But I was searching for some songs and stumbled upon Lynn Anderson. She sang a lot of familiar songs (as covers?) and I liked her style. Never heard of her before but may buy one of her Best Of cd's.
Aside - while listening to other song recommendations based on liking Anderson, came across Harper Valley PTA. Funny song.

Had a big hit with (I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden. Died about 5 years ago I think.

I’ve heard the song Rose Garden before but hadn’t heard of her until a few days ago. She would have been a favorite for me back then as well.
I can’t get HV PTA out of my head now…

The song came first and inspired the movie...1978.

yes, and what I said is correct also.
Jeannie C. Riley's version was the biggest seller and the one that most anyone from that era would remember.
