Happy birthday, Kitty Wells

Published by Peter Cooper on August 30, 2010





Happy 91st birthday to the Queen of Country Music, Kitty Wells.

The Country Music Hall of Famer, who became a pioneering figure in country music when her “It
Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” topped country charts in 1952, is the rare Music City star
to actually have been born in Nashville. She was born Muriel Deason but took the stage name Kitty
Wells after a folk song, “I’m A-Goin’ To Marry Kitty Wells.” She was Billboard’s top female artist of the
decade for the 1950s and again for the 1960s.

Wells is retired now, living in Madison with her husband of 72 (count ’em!) years, Johnnie Wright.

Wells' 90th birthday celebration was held at the Ernest Tubb Record Shop's Texas Troubadour
Theatre in Nashville. Click HERE to see a gallery of photos from the event.
