That union resulted in her first Country Top 40 hit with “A Girl Who’ll Satisfy Her Man” in 1970. This was followed by four more songs to enter the Top 40 between 1970 and 1972, the most successful being “Thanks For The Mem’ries” and “Love’s Old Song”. The following year, in March of 1973, “Teddy Bear Song” ascended to the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, produced by Jerry Crutchfield. The song went on to become a crossover hit and rising to No. 32 on the mainstream Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the Canadian Country charts, garnering a Grammy nomination for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Female in 1974 . “Kid Stuff” and a string of hits continued through the 1970s.
