Peggy Sue Webb (born March 24, 1943) is a country music singer and songwriter, who had brief success as a country singer in the late 1960s. She is the sister of two popular country performers, Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle. ==Biography== Peggy Sue Webb was born in Butcher Hollow, Van Lear in Johnson County, Kentucky in a log cabin in Appalachian Kentucky. Her father was Melvin Theodore "Ted" Webb (born 24 Oct 1906 - 23 Feb 1959), a coal miner, storekeeper and farmer. Her mother was Clara Marie "Clarie" Ramey (born 2 May 1912 - 24 Nov 1981), a housewife and later a waitress. The family was poor, living hand-to-mouth and relying on her father's pittance income. Peggy Sue had seven siblings: Melvin Webb Jr (1929-1993), Loretta Webb (1932-), Herman (1934-), Willie "Jay" Lee Webb (1937-1996), Donald Ray Webb (1941-), Betty Ruth Webb (1946-) and Brenda Gail Webb (1951-). The family moved to Wabash Indiana in 1955 due to her father's illness from working in the coal mines. She began performing with Loretta and her brothers at venues around Wabash, Indiana, and then became a featured act in Loretta's early shows in the 1960s. Peggy Sue helped write a few of Loretta's compositions, including "Don't Come Home A' Drinkin' (With Lovin' on Your Mind)." In 1969, she signed with Decca Records and released her debut single, "I'm Dynamite," which went into the Country Top 30. That year, she released an album of the same name, and the second single from that album titled, "I'm Gettin' Tired of Babyin' You" also reached the Top 30. After Peggy Sue had a hit with her most successful single, "All-American Husband," she left Decca Records after releasing two albums. She recorded two albums in the 1970s for two small labels. Peggy Sue was married twice, first to Douglas Wells (m.1964-div.1968) and second to Sonny Wright (m.1970-). From her first marriage, Peggy had 1 daughter: Doyletta Gayle born May 30, 1967. Doyletta Gayle was named after Doyle Wilburn and her sisters Loretta and Brenda Gail. Doyletta was tragically killed by her then husband on February 22, 1991. From her second marriage, Peggy has a son and daughter: Georgia () and Layla (). After 1970, she didn't appear on the Billboard country charts until 1980, where she had a string of minor hits off of her second husband Sonny Wright's label Doorknob. After 1983, her success declined and in 1986 she began performing as a background singer and designing stage costumes for her sister, Crystal Gayle.〔 She continues to perform today with Crystal, and occasionally they both join up with Loretta at her ranch for a concert. 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「Peggy Sue (singer)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
