Best known for her Grammy-winning smash “Rose Garden,” Lynn Anderson was one of the most popular female country singers of the early ’70s, helped by her regular exposure on national television. Anderson was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and grew up in Sacramento, California; her mother Liz was a professional songwriter best known for penning Merle Haggard’s early hits “(All My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers” and “The Fugitive” (the latter with her husband, Carey). Naturally, Lynn picked up music too, and performed as a singer and guitarist during her teen years.

This song was one of 11 No. 1 country hits for Anderson. Her career was still going strong three years after her major crossover hit, “(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden”. By this time, Anderson’s material had changed to more sophisticated country music, Countrypolitan, which was all about producing and recording more pop-oriented songs in order for country singers to attract a larger listening audience. Even though this song had no hint of traditional country, the song did not make the Billboard’s Pop Hot 100 chart. However, she would crossover onto the pop charts with future hits.
