That same year when she began recording her first album with Gold Band Records an independent small-scale label. As a student in high school, she garnered a name in the local music scene but dreamed about a larger stage. When she graduated from high school in 1964, she swiftly relocated to Nashville. Her first charting recordings from Monument Records included Dumb Blonde and Something Fishy both in 1967.
