Connie smith country music

When Connie Smith was a young girl, she had kept singing just to herself. In fact, she would even cry or hide under the bed if anybody heard her sing. But her dreams had always been bigger than her fear of sharing her talent, imagining herself performing on the Grand Ole Opry.

It all started when Marty Stuart was just 11-years-old, in the summer of 1970, when Connie Smith---17 years Marty Stuart's senior---was already an established star, and had landed over a dozen Top 10 hits. Connie Smith happened to be Marty Stuart's mother's favorite singer, right behind Marty Robbins.

Music icon Marty Stuart married Connie Smith in 1997 and he was 17 years younger than her. Here he talks about how the couple found love with each other.

In 1963, Connie Smith was a housewife and mother, spending her days and nights doing everything which that routine requires. She had little time for anything else, but on the rare occasions that she was able to get out of the house, she enjoyed singing at local events, fairs or some sort of stage show in the area.
