Please Research Before Editing or Rewriting

A perfectly good Susan Raye article has been edited into a piece loaded with errors. Please research or be knowledgable about the subject before you edit a profile. And it wouldn't hurt to proofread entries for spelling entries and poorly constructed sentences.

""Susan Raye (born October 8, 1944 in Eugene, Oregon) is an American Country Music Singer. She was the protegee of Buck Owens, and landed a couple hit duets with him in the late 70s."" All of the Raye/Owens duet collaborations were over well before the late 1970's, their final single release together was in 1975 and last sessions together were in 1974.

"..The two soon decided to become a duet act and started recording together in 1968. Although both of them began recording together in the late 60s, they didn't actually gain a hit record until 1970..." The 1970 release was their first record as a duet.

"" The first single she released on her own was a cover of Jackie DeShannon's hit "Put a Little Love In Your Heart"."" Susan Raye's first solo single was "Maybe if I Close My Eyes" in 1969.

"" Raye also performed on the Country telivison program, Hee Haw. She remained on the show for nine years."" No, Susan Raye was only on Hee Haw for the first two seasons and left the show when it relocated to Nashville from Los Angeles.

""The same year Susan charted three duet hits with Buck Owens,she also decided to embark on a solo career, leaving her duet days behind her."" Susan Raye's first solo hit was in 1970 but she was Buck Owens' active duet partner until 1975. This also contradicts the earlier mention that their duet career went into the late 1970's which as mentioned above is not true.

""It was not until 1971 though that Raye's solo career took off. That year, a song written by Buck Owens called "L.A. Internation Airport", went to the Top Ten of the Country charts and turned Raye into a solo star."" The song was written by Leanne Scott, not Buck Owens, and Raye had a previous top ten the year before so she was already famous in the country market.

""That year, Raye also had two other big hits with "Willy Jones" and "Pitty, Pitty, Patter. All three of these songs were compositions written by Buck Owens, and other songs would also be written by Owens that Raye would record throughout her career."" (1) Willy Jones was a hit for Susan Raye in 1970, the year before LA International Airport (2) Pitty Pitty Patter was written by Bob Morris, NOT Buck Owens.

""Susan raye has also remained an avid Christian through much of her life. She went to college to persue a degree in psychology. She made a small comeback in 1985, recording two albums as well as one charting single called "I Just Can't Take the Leaving Anymore", but by that time, her hit-making days were over."" (1) Susan Raye was and remains a Christian so the "much of her life" statement is strange (2) She also had a chart record with "Put Another Notch on Your Belt" in 1985.

""Today, Susan Raye today, is stil a mother of six children, as well as a child counselor."" Well, I guess so she is still a mother. You usually can't rescend that.

Susan Rae

Wikipedia currently has an article on the British newsreader Susan Rae. Given that their names are so similar, I think it would be good if a notice heading this article saying "Not to be confused with the newsreader Susan Rae" were inserted into this article.
