Jeannie Seely

Arriving in 1966 as part of a wave of modern women country singers that also included Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn, Jeannie Seely had a blockbuster right out of the gate with "Don't Touch Me." Peaking at number two on Billboard's Country chart, the stately "Don't Touch Me" established Seely's soulful, yearning style, helping her earn a Grammy for Country Female Vocal. Over the next seven years, she regularly appeared in Billboard's Top 40, cracking the Top Ten in 1970 with her Jack Greene duet "Wish I Didn't Have to Miss You" and with 1973's "Can I Sleep in Your Arms?" Seely's time as a hitmaker had concluded by the dawn of the '80s yet she spent the ensuing decades performing regularly, releasing a new record, such as 2017's Written in Song, on occasion.
