From the back cover: It is inconceivable that hazel-eyed beauty Sandy Posey was born to suffer, or born to cry – or born to do anything other than sing in her own exciting and inimitable way.

Not long after the born singer's birth 21 years ago in Jasper, Alabama, relatives noticed Sandy singing almost before she could talk... and by five, harmonizing to records she heard on the radio.

But Jasper's music world was limited to church choirs and a handful of jukeboxes scattered throughout town so Sandy's career stood still until her late teens and she moved to West Memphis, Arkansas. Just across the Mississippi River sits Memphis, home town of many music business greats and on of the top recording centers in the south.

Before long Sandy had been invited to attend a recording session. One of the background singers failed to show up and she was asked the last minute to "sit in". Literally hundreds of record dates followed in Memphis and the nearby recording centers of Nashville, and Florence, Alabama with Sandy doing vocal group work backing up other singers. She worked with such names as Bobby Goldsboro, Tommy Roe and Percy Sledge.

She was then discovered by independent record producer Chips Moman and she did her first solo recording "Born A Woman" for MGM Records.

This perfect mating of singer and song has taken Sandy Posey to the top of the national best-selling charts. Sandy Posey is an exciting artist who was not only "Born A Woman" but born a star. – Notes by H. H. Cowen
