Lynn and Liz Anderson

2/3/2004:

It was on this day in 1971 that country singer Lynn Anderson’s Rose Garden went gold. The album earned Lynn 15 more gold albums worldwide, and back in the states, it ended up going platinum.

Bios on Lynn Anderson usually say, “Born in Grand Forks, ND, September 26th, 1947, raised in Sacramento, California.” There’s a little more to it than that. Lynn’s mother, Liz Haaby, grew up in northern Minnesota in a family that was both poor and religious. When Liz was 13, the family moved to Grand Forks.

Anderson insisted – and she cut a record that went far beyond the bounds of country music and became an international hit.

Lynn Anderson was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota in 1947, the daughter of Casey and Liz Anderson, although the family was soon to move to the West Coast, first to Redwood and then Sacramento. Her father sold used cars and her mother was a country music songwriter, sometimes writing with her husband. Anderson herself was singing publicly from the age of six, but her primary interest was in horses – and she became the California Horse Show Queen in 1966.

In 1965 the three of them went to an awards event in Nashville as Liz had written "(My Friends Are Gonna Be) Strangers" for Merle Haggard, and was

Lynn Rene Anderson (September 26, 1947 – July 30, 2015) was a multi-award-winning American country music singer known for a string of hits throughout the 1970s and 1980s, most notably her 1970 country-pop, worldwide megahit "(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden". Anderson's crossover appeal and regular exposure on national television helped her to become one of the most popular and successful country singers of the 1970s.

Anderson charted 12 No. 1, 18 Top 10, and more than 50 Top 40 hits. In addition to being named "Top Female Vocalist" by the Academy of Country Music (ACM) twice and "Female Vocalist of the Year" by the Country Music Association (CMA), Anderson won a Grammy Award (earning seven nominations), People's Choice Award and an American Music Award (AMA). She was named Billboard's Female Artist of the Decade (1970–1980).

Anderson was the first female country artist to win the American Music Award (in 1974), as well as the first to headline and sellout Madison Square Garden that same year.

Anderson debuted in 1966, at the ag
