Elizabeth Jane Anderson was an American country music singer-songwriter who was one in a wave of new-generation female vocalists in the genre during the 1960s to write and record her own songs on a regular basis. Writing in The New York Times Bill Friskics-Warren noted, "Like her contemporary Loretta Lynn, Ms. Anderson gave voice to female survivors; inhabiting their struggles in a soprano at times alluring, at times sassy."

Lynn Anderson American country music singer

Lynn Rene Anderson was an American country music singer known for a string of hits from the late 1960s to the 1980s, most notably her worldwide crossover hit "Rose Garden" (1970). Anderson's crossover appeal and regular exposure on national television helped her become one of country music's first female superstars in the early 1970s, taking it to venues and television shows around the world that, previously, had not been receptive to the genre. In 1970, she became the first country star to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.
