Carroll Anne Baker, CM (member of the Order of Canada), (born March 4, 1949), is a Canadian country music singer and songwriter. ==Biography== Carroll Baker was born in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia. The nearby fishing village of Port Medway, Nova Scotia displays a sign near the village entry claiming the community to be "The Home of Carroll Baker." She left Port Medway and moved to Toronto with her family when she was 16. She was discovered by songwriter, George Petralia,〔(Carroll Baker Website )〕 and promoted and produced by Don Grashey. Her first single in 1970, 'Mem-ries of Home,' written by George Petralia, for the Gaiety label (owned by Don Grashey), was a minor hit, staying on the charts for a record breaking 26 weeks. With the success of the very first recording, Grashey contacted several record companies regarding a recording contract for her and finally settled on Columbia Records. She recorded two albums for Columbia but had only limited commercial success. Eventually she went back to Mr. Grashey's record label, Gaiety Records. She then was signed to RCA Records where she had several Gold and Platinum records. From RCA, she joined Tembo records where she was again awarded platinum record status for her record sales. Carroll decided to quit the music business in 1973 when she became pregnant with her first and only child. Don Grashey convinced her to take one more shot at the brass ring and off to Nashville they went to record four songs. Her first top ten record came from that session, "Ten Little Fingers", a song about a little girl, written by Don Grashey; this song remains one of her most popular songs to this day. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Carroll Baker (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
