Barbara Fairchild - Someone Special '1970

Tracks list

Country and gospel singer/songwriter Barbara Fairchild recorded her first single
when she was just 15 years old. She secured a songwriting contract with MCA
right out high school, but continued to perform. She soon had a recording
contract with Columbia Nashville and delivered the single Love Is a Gentle Thing
in 1969. She issued seven albums on Columbia during the 1970s, and scored
charting singles like the 1970 Top 30 hit A Girl Wholl Satisfy Her Man, 1972s
Top 40 cut Color My World, and Teddy Bear Song from that same year. The latter
song slotted at number one for two weeks and even crossed over to the pop
charts. It garnered Fairchild a Grammy nomination, and would go on to become her
signature tune. She continued to enjoy chart success through the latter part of
the 70s, hitting the Top 15 with Cheatin Is. In 1982, Fairchild married
evangelical singer/songwriter Milton Carroll in San Antonio, TX. Later, a brief
attempt at a Nashville comeback failed. In 1989, Fairchild joined the gospel
group Heirloom, which released a few albums in the early 90s. 1991 saw the
release of Fairchilds first solo gospel album, The Light. It produced the hits
Turn Right and Then Go Straight and Mary Washed His Feet. By this point, her
first marriage had failed. Fairchild did a few shows in the country/gospel
entertainment haven of Branson, MO. The performances were well-received, and
Fairchild moved to the city, landing a permanent gig with the Mel Tillis show.
She remarried and began singing and performing with new husband Roy Morris. The
duo released inspirational albums together, including 2001s For God & Country
(which featured the song Burning Bush [God Used a Burning Bush Before]) and
2002s Wings of a Dove. Fairchild and Morris had their own Branson production
during the Christmas months, and continued to tour the U.S.
