I had forgotten about her -----her voice was pure and with good range, somewhat like Reba. I am only guessing, but it had to be the lack of good management being the reason she didn't do even better than she did.
very nice pick. Thank you.
You guys sure know your music and some of you have very LARGE vaults. still waiting on LV2hnt, tradewind and riverdavis and so far nothing from the outback of New Mexico ?
Actually Tradewind did make a post, but I am not counting that onethank you gentlemen for your kindness and the great songs. I drink wine when I listen to music and I am almost drunk

Damn, we lost an artist I always wanted to see one more time. DAMN.
Rusty Young, Country-Rock Pioneer, Is Dead at 75
As a founding member of the band Poco, he helped define a genre and establish the pedal steel guitar as an integral voice in West Coast rock.By Bill Friskics-Warren
Published April 17, 2021Updated April 19, 2021
Rusty Young, a founding member of the popular country-rock group Poco and a key figure in establishing the pedal steel guitar as an integral voice in the West Coast rock of the late 1960s and ’70s, died on Wednesday at his home in Davisville, Mo. He was 75.
His publicist, Mike Farley, said the cause was a heart attack.
Mr. Young played steel guitar with Poco for more than a half-century. Along with other Los Angeles-based rock bands like the Byrds and the Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco was among the architects of the country-rock movement of the late ’60s, which incorporated traditional country instrumentation into predominantly rock arrangements. The Eagles and scores of other bands would follow in their wake.
Formed in 1968, Poco originally included the singer-guitarists Jim Messina and Richie Furay — both formerly of Buffalo Springfield, another pioneering country-rock band from Los Angeles — along with Mr. Young, the drummer George Grantham and the bassist Randy Meisner, a future member of the Eagles. (Timothy B. Schmit, another future Eagle, replaced Mr. Meisner after he left the band in 1969.)
Poco initially came together for a high-profile show at the Troubadour in West Hollywood, not long after Mr. Furay had invited Mr. Young to play pedal steel guitar on his composition “Kind Woman,” the closing track on Buffalo Springfield’s farewell album, “Last Time Around.” Poco’s music was generally twangier and more populist than that of Buffalo Springfield, a band that had at times gravitated toward experimentalism and obfuscation.
Mr. Furay’s song “Pickin’ Up the Pieces,” the title track of Poco’s debut album in 1969, served as a statement of purpose:
Well there’s just a little bit of magic
In the country music we’re singin’
So let’s begin.
We’re bringin’ you back down home where the folks are happy
Sittin’ pickin’ and a-grinnin’
Casually, you and me
We’ll pick up the pieces, uh-huh.

Thanks for the lesson @elkduds . All new information and song for me. I'm afraid us 70's music fans are going to lose a lot of our favorites in the years to soon come. Still some of my favorite music inspite of the cheesy clothes they wore back then.
