Honky Tonk Angels
from The Musicscope Minute · host Mike Grubb
In May 1952, Kitty Wells recorded "It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels." which was a response to Hank Thompson’s "The Wild Side of Life." It was the first No. 1 hit on the billboard country chart for a solo female artist. The song paved the way for country hits written from a female point of view and influenced artists like Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Tammy Wynette.
