 moreIn 1963, Miller recorded her debut album, Wednesday's Child Is Full of
Woe, which did fairly well and led to appearances on Tom Paxton's folk music
television show. In 1964, she had a minor pop hit with "He Walks Like a Man" but
her breakthrough arrived in 1965, when "Queen of the House" reached number five
on the country charts and number 12 on the pop charts. Despite her success on
the country charts, Miller continued to have more hits as a pop act; "Silver
Threads and Golden Needles," her follow-up to "Queen of the House," was a minor
hit in the summer of 1965, as was the protest song "Home of the Brave." During
the latter half of the '60s, she released a handful of albums and singles, none
of which gained much attention.

At the end of the '60s, Miller left the West Coast and returned to her Oklahoma
ranch to spend more time with her family. After a few years of semi-retirement,
she began recording with Billy Sherrill in Nashville in late 1970; the result,
Look at Mine, was released in 1971 and featured a mixture of country-pop songs
and a few traditional tunes. The album produced her first string of country
hits, as "He's So Fine" and "Baby I'm Yours" reached the Top Ten, and several
other songs from the record reached the Top 40. Throughout 1972 and 1973, Miller
hit the Top Ten with regularity. However, her comeback ended as quickly as it
began -- as of 1974, she no longer was able to crack the Top 40, although she
did have a string of minor hits. She managed to bounce back into the Top 40 in
1977 with "Darling, You Can Always Come Back Home," but by and large, her career
had stalled. In 1979, her contract with Epic expired and she chose to retire to
her ranch with her family.

Miller returned in 1987 with the independently released My Country, which
consisted entirely of patriotic songs; it caught the attention of
President-elect George H.W. Bush, who invited her to perform at his 1988
inaugural ball. Afterward, Miller's now-grown daughter Robin encouraged her to
return to country music and the two formed a duo. In 1990, they tried to secure
a record contract in Nashville, but were unsuccessful. Miller re-emerged as a
gospel singer in the late '90s with such independently released albums as I'll
Praise the Lamb (1997) and Higher (1999). Jody Miller died in Blanchard,
Oklahoma, on October 6, 2022, after several years of living with Parkinson's
disease. She was 80 years of age.
