This series of blogs is inspired by Carrie Underwood covering the songs of Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, The Judds, Shania Twain and others. Ironically I'm going to start in 1970, where the majority of the top songs were sung by men. Even many of the songs sung by women were in a duet- yes with another band. There weren't any Maddie and Tae or Runaway June breaking big then. I tried my best, but some songs were listed in multiple years on various lists I was researching.
