"Kitty Wells Country Hit Parade"; "Lonely Street"; "Dust On The Bible;""Kitty's Choice" und "Heartbreak U.S.A". Kitty Wells war eine US-amerikanische Country-Sängerin. Die "Queen of Country Music" wurde 1952 mit dem Song It Wasnt God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels bekannt. Sie gilt als erster weiblicher Superstar der Countrymusik. Ihr wurde 1952 vom Decca-Produzenten Paul Cohen angeboten, It Wasnt God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels als feministisch ausgerichteten Antwortsong auf Hank Thompsons The Wild Side of Life einzuspielen - dieser Song enthielt die Zeile "I Didnt Know God Made Honky Tonk Angels". Die Single wurde zu einem der größten Country-Hits der fünfziger Jahre und hielt sich sechs Wochen an der Spitze der Charts. Zum ersten Mal hatte eine Sängerin Platz Eins der Country-Hitparade erreicht. Dieser Erfolg ebnete den Weg für zukünftige Stars wie Patsy Cline oder Loretta Lynn. Auch ihre nächste Single, Paying For That Backstreet Affair (ein Antwortsong auf Webb Pierces Back Street Affair), schaffte es in die Top-10. Kitty Wells war damit endgültig in der Country-Szene etabliert. Ihre Erfolgssträhne hielt bis weit in die sechziger Jahre hinein an. Insgesamt konnte sie 23 Top-10-Hits verbuchen, darunter 1955 Making Believe, 1956 Searching, 1958 Jealousy, 1961 Heartbreak USA.
