It was the summer of 1968, and one song ruled the airways from coast to coast. Virtually every radio station across the dial was playing the same song over and over- one station in Ohio is reported to have played it 26 times in the same day! The nation took time out to listen to an unknown singer named "Jeannie C. Riley" tell them how Mrs. Johnson had stood up for herself, and socked it to all the hypocritical members of the "Harper Valley P.T.A."

The song made her the first female singer to have a song go to No. 1 on both the country music and pop music charts simultaneously. The record quickly became one of the most well-known country music songs of all time. Written by Tom T. Hall, the song was released by Plantation Records. Miss Riley and the song became a much overnight sensation, and the song earned her the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance and the Country Music Association 'Single of the Year' award. Other hits following "Harper Valley PTA" include "The Girl Most Likely," "There Never Was A Time," "The Rib," "The Back Side of Dallas," "Country Girl," "Oh Singer," and "Good Enough to Be Your Wife." Riley's great success brought a number of offers from Hollywood, and she appeared with Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, Bette Davis, Tom Jones, Ed Sullivan and others on various television programs.
