Jeannie C. Riley (born Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson; October 19,
1945) is an American
country music and gospel singer. She is best known for her 1968 hit
"Harper Valley PTA". Riley was the first woman to hold the Number 1
spot on the pop and country charts with the same song, a feat not repeated by a
female artist until Dolly Parton's 1981 hit "9 to 5".
During the late 1960s
and into the very early 1970s, Riley ranked among the most popular female
vocalists in the country music industry. She had five Grammy Award nominations
and four Country Music Association nominations.
Riley kept in tune with
typical late-1960s fashion by donning miniskirts and go-go boots for her stage
outfits (somewhat in the character of the protagonist in "PTA"). Her
mod persona opened doors (and perhaps started a sexual revolution) in country music, as hemlines of other
female country artists' stage outfits began rising in the years that followed.
But Riley was not comfortable with that image, and she eventually abandoned it
for a more traditional wardrobe (floor-length gowns and ankle-length dresses
typically worn by other female country artists). In the 1993 CBS documentary,
The Woman of Country, she noted that during the "Harper Valley"
period, her publicist and
manager were largely responsible for creating and playing up her sexy image
(matching the character pictured on the "Harper Valley" album cover).
She became a born-again
Christian in the mid-1970s and began recording gospel music during the late
1970s. .
