Goldie Hill

About

American country music singer.
Born Argolda Voncile Hill, January 11, 1933, in Kames City, Texas, USA. Known as "Goldie" Hill.
Died February 24, 2005 (age of 72) in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
Married to country singer Carl Smith changed name to Goldie Hill Smith (stage name was Goldie Hill) (1957-2005, her death).
She was one of the first women in country music, becoming one of the first women to reach the top of the country music charts with her No. 1 1953 hit, "I Let the Stars Get In My Eyes". Along with Kitty Wells, she set the standard for later women in country music, such as Patsy Cline, Skeeter Davis, Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton.
Her musical career had plenty of life in it when she turned it all down in 1957, marrying Carl Smith. She charted with a duet in 1959 with Red Sovine "Yankee, Go Home", which hit #17 on the country charts. She then retired to living on their horse farm south of Nashville, raising her children. She made a short-lived comeback in the late 1960s on the label Epic Records under the name Goldie Hill Smith, hitting #73 on the country charts in 1968 with "Lovable Fool". However, her songs and albums failed to make any major impact. Under Epic, she released two albums which failed gaining any success; Goldie Sings Again and Country Gentleman's Lady.
Member of the KWKH Louisiana Hayride and the WSM Grand Ole Opry.
She then returned to home life on their farm. In the 1970s, following her husband's retirement, Smith and Hill showed their horses professionally. She was portrayed by singer Stacy Earl in the film Crazy (2008).
