Sandy Posey, born Sandra Lou Posey on June 18, 1944, in Jasper, Alabama, is an American country and pop singer. Known for her soulful voice and storytelling, she became known for blending elements of pop and country in a way that was popular with a wide audience.

Posey’s early life was steeped in music, influenced by the gospel sounds of her local church and the country music that was popular in the Southern United States. Her talent was evident from a young age, and she pursued her passion with determination. After graduating from high school, Posey moved to Memphis, Tennessee, where she began working as a session singer at the renowned American Sound Studio.

Her breakthrough came in 1966 with the release of “Born a Woman,” a song written by Martha Sharpe. The single, characterized by its catchy melody, rapidly climbed the charts, reaching number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning Posey a Grammy nomination. The song’s success established Posey as a notable artist.

Posey continued to release hits. Songs like “Single Girl” and “What a Woman in Love Won’t Do.” “Single Girl” reached the top 10 on both the country and pop charts.

Despite her early success, Posey’s career faced challenges as musical tastes evolved in the late 1960s and 1970s. The rise of rock and roll and the changing landscape of the music industry made it difficult for many artists of her genre to maintain their popularity.

Eventually Posey switched gears and became a backup performer for the mainstream entertainers such as Elvis Presley, Percy Sledge and Skeeter Davis.

Rest In Peace
