 
During the '60s, Jan Howard
was one of the hottest female vocalists in country music. Born
Lula Grace Johnson in West Plains, Missouri, she moved to L.A.
in 1953 and became involved with songwriter Harlan Howard, whom
she married one month after they met. Jan Howard helped her break
into country music, sending her demos to various companies. As
a result she began singing demos for Tex Ritter and Johnny Bond.
In 1959, using the pseudonym "Jan Howard," she recorded
"Yankee Go Home."
