The Kitty Wells AirplayExpress Awards Page

Over the years Wells has won many awards, including being voted Billboard’s Female Country Artiste from 1953-65, but her greatest award came in 1976, when she was elected to the Country Music Hall Of Fame in Nashville. The plaque noted: ‘In true country tradition her sincere vocal stylings convey the real feeling of the songs, be they happy or sad’. Many of her hits were country weepies such as ‘Mommy For A Day’, ‘I Gave My Wedding Dress Away’, ‘This White Circle On My Finger’ and ‘I Hope My Divorce Is Never Granted’. There is little doubt that her successes opened the way for many subsequent female country music singers. In 1952, Kitty Wells was named the Queen Of Country Music by Fred Rose and in the opinions of country traditionalists, she still holds her title with dignity and sincerity. She has, as country historian Bill C. Malone noted, ‘preserved an image of wholesomeness and domesticity that was far removed from the world she often sang about’.
