Since her recording debut in 1964, Grand Ole Opry star Connie Smith has been widely and consistently acclaimed as one of Country music's premier vocalists. Her reluctance to embrace celebrity marks her career almost as much as her immense talent.
Also, my dear friend Scott West will be joining me in-studio to share his comments and deep admiration for the amazing Connie Smith. If my count is right this will be Scott's sixth time on the show. Thus, he has earned the title, "The Custodian of Country Music".
On the next Rockin' Randall Classic Country Call-In Request Show, Connie Smith will be in the spotlight, as our featured artist of the day. I hope you can join me Saturday morning from 6-9 for Classic Country by request and the very best of
Connie Smith on 91.7 WHCP-Radio Chesapeake.
