She went solo and in 1936 became the first female country and western singer to sell one million records with her self-penned \"I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart.\" Her career spanned eight decades, and in 1996 (also the year of her death) she was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Here is the story of a tiny, blue-eyed woman who had a pioneering spirit and a big voice.
