BONNIE OWENS-EXCUSE ME FOR LIVING
Born Bonnie Campbell in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Bonnie Owens was a country music singer who was married to Buck Owens and later Merle Haggard. Mainly most people know Owens for these two previous reasons but in the 50s and the 60s Bonnie Owens was a singer/songwriter in her own right. She met Buck Owens when she was only fifteen. They played in a band in Mesa, Arizona and then later were married in 1951 and moved to Bakersfield, California. They eventually divorced but moving to Bakersfield jumpstarted both their careers in music. [edit] Fame Bonnie Owens' first recording was a duet with Fuzzy Owen called "A Dear John Letter" and was on Mar-Vel Records #MV-102 and dates about 1950. Side B contained a song titled Wonderful World. Bonnie and Fuzzys A Dear John Letter was not a remake of the 1953 Jean Shepard/Ferlin Husky version as some believe, as theirs predated Shepard/Husky by 3 years. Owens recorded on numerous labels during the 1950s and early 1960s including Merle Haggards and Fuzzy Owens own Tally label, all of which were singles. Her first album titled Dont Take Advantage Of Me came in 1965 on Capitol Records # ST-2403. Owens was named Female Vocalist Of The Year in 1965 by the Academy Of Country Music and she and Haggard were married that same year. From that point on Bonnie dedicated her time to Haggards children and his career, touring with Merles band The Strangers as a backup vocalist. Little known to many is the fact that during the early stages of Bonnie and Merles careers together, Bonnie was the headliner, and Merle, the up and coming (and underlining) new star. Owens and Haggard divorced in 1978, and after a brief hiatus, she continued touring with him. She had hits on the Country charts in the early 1960s with the songs "Why Don't Daddy Live Here Anymore?" and "Don't Take Advantage Of Me". In 1965 Haggard and Owens recorded the song called "Just Between the Two of Us", a duet hit and probably Owen's best known hit. It was also the title...

Mustang Sally
Performed by Cowboy Willie & Redwood-AZ Country Western and Light Rock Band. "Mustang Sally" is an R&B / straight-forward Blues song written and first recorded by Mack Rice in 1965. It gained greater popularity when it was covered by Wilson Pickett the following year. According to music historian Tom Shannon, the song started as a joke when Della Reese's band leader wanted a new Ford Mustang. Rice called the early version "Mustang Mama," but changed the title after Aretha Franklin suggested "Mustang Sally."
