Timeline

Patty Loveless was included in a list of hundreds of artists whose work was purportedly destroyed in the 2008 Universal fire by The New York Times Magazine on June 25, 2019.

Roger Ramey sent the demo tape to all of the major Nashville labels, but all of them firmly rejected it. He was desperate to support his sister, so after a month of nothing happening, he decided to take a chance with MCA Nashville. His first choice of labels was MCA because they were the leaders of the business at the time. Roger used a cassette of Loveless’ five-song demo to bluff his way past Tony Brown’s receptionist, who is in charge of A&R (Artist & Repertoire), who is in charge of discovering and nurturing fresh talent.

a different person who arrived late for an appointment.

Lovelesss sang backing vocals to Vince Gill’s 1995 album Go Rest High On That Mountain. The song was named the 1996 CMA Song of the Year and the 1997 BMI Most-Performed Song. In addition, it won two Grammy Awards at the 38th Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Male Country Vocal Performance. In 1995, the song peaked at No. 14 on the Country Singles list. Since going up for download, 648,000 digital copies have been sold in the US. Loveless and Gill sang the song at George Jones’s funeral on May 2, 2013, a fellow country music singer. Gill became too emotional at one point in the concert to sing some

of the lyrics, but was able to finish the song by putting all of his attention onto his guitar performance. Before Gill and Loveless performed, Gill highlighted their duet in a speech, saying that he always felt there was a “special anointing” in their duets. He specifically linked them to Jones’s duets with vocalist Melba Montgomery in the 1960s.

Although she and husband Emory Gordy, Jr. sang frequently at the Grand Ole Opry and made a few guest appearances at other events, she took a two-year break from touring in 2006 and 2007 to grieve over the deaths of her mother and mother-in-law. Loveless served as a judge at the sixth annual Independent Music Awards in 2007.

to aid in the careers of independent artists. On April 7, 2011, Loveless was admitted to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame.

When Loveless went back into the studio in 2008, she was featured on two albums: George Strait’s Troubadour and Jimmy Wayne’s Do You Believe Me Now. A tribute album called Sleepless Nights was created by Loveless after she acquired a recording deal with Saguaro Road Records later in 2008. It was released on September 9. A Grammy Award nomination for Best Country Album was given to Sleepless Nights. On September 29, 2009, Patty’s most recent recording for Saguaro Road, Mountain Soul II, was released. It went on to win the Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album.

She put out Dreamin’ My Dreams in 2005. Although it received positive reviews, it was not a commercial success. While not a single track from the album made the singles list, the album debuted and peaked at number 29 on Billboard’s country album chart. Before Epic Records dissolved its Nashville operation in 2005 and Loveless was released from her recording contract, this was the last album she recorded for the company.

Aware that she could not let country radio dictate her future, Loveless abruptly left the commercial country/pop scene in 2001 to focus on recording a cold-blooded bluegrass album. Despite having no radio assistance, Mountain Soul Soul was released to a number of positive reviews and sold respectably. In 2002, she recorded a Christmas CD titled Bluegrass & White Snow: A Mountain Christmas, using the same bluegrass style. A return to a more commercially focused country, On Your Way Home was released in 2003 to positive reviews. Even though Loveless hasn’t had a top forty country single since “On Your Way Home” peaked at # 29 in 2004, her albums continue to do well, typically placing in the top forty of the country album chart.

the endorsement of a major label or regular country radio.

When Fallen Angels Fly, the album’s follow-up, was possibly her greatest accomplishment. She had four Top 10 songs from that album, which also earned the Country Music Association’s Album of the Year award. In 1996, she followed it up with The Trouble with the Truth, which won her accolades for Female Vocalist of the Year from the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music.

Loveless contributed “When I Reach the Place I’m Going” to the Red Hot Organization-produced AIDS charity album Red Hot + Country in 1994.

Loveless made her professional comeback on January 4, 1993, her 36th birthday, when she gave a performance at the Grand Ole Opry. She was completely well again, although

The procedure had altered her voice. It had a richer, more profound quality that improved her career in the years that followed.

Her new manager, Larry Fitzgerald, thought a significant adjustment was necessary. Fitzgerald spoke with Tony Brown at the end of 1992 in an attempt to negotiate Loveless out of her MCA contract. He and MCA came to an arrangement where Loveless could quit the label but could still record for the label among other MCA artists. Fitzgerald promptly set up a meeting with Sony Nashville CEO Roy Wunsch. In an effort to find a “name” female vocalist, their Epic label arranged for Loveless to record for Sony under their Epic label.

In spite of the vocal issue, Loveless had secured a tour for the fall of 1992. She had also received an invitation to participate in the Women In Country television program on CBS. Loveless asked her manager to go with her to her throat doctor’s office the day before she left on the tour. Her doctor contrasted her 1990 results to what he observed during the exam in his clinic. A varicose vein-like swollen blood vessel had grown in her vocal chords. Not only was the contrast striking, but there was also a risk to her job and no assurance that surgery would solve the issue.

Loveless’s manager decided to cancel all of her tour dates for the remainder of 1992, even though she still performed in the television special. Loveless underwent corrective throat surgery on October 21. She was unable to speak or sing for the following nine weeks. Her husband tried teaching Loveless Morse Code and using pen and paper with yellow Post-It notes to communicate with her. Following this, she became interested in amateur radio, and eventually she obtained a license under the name KD4WUJ, albeit it is currently listed as canceled.

In 1990, On Down the Line was released. Loveless released four more singles off this album. Kostas wrote the title track as well, which debuted on the Hot Country Songs charts at No. 5. A cover of “The Night’s Too Long” by Lucinda Williams was next, followed by “I’m That Kind of Girl” and “Blue Memories”. “Hurt Me Bad (In a Real Good Way)” from her 1991 last MCA studio album was a Top 10 smash; nevertheless, the singles “Jealous Bone” and “Can’t Stop Myself from Loving You” were not as popular. After that, she contributed a guest voice on the single “Send a Message to My Heart” from Dwight Yoakam’s If There Was a Way. Backup vocals were included in Up Against My Heart.

from Mac McAnally, Dolly Parton, Vince Gill, and Lyle Lovett—who also penned the song “God Will” at the end.

Loveless entered the studio to record new music for Epic after receiving a new recording contract. Her producer, Gordy, noted in the studio that she didn’t have the same strength in her voice as she had when she had recorded two years earlier. The truth was that Loveless had been experiencing throat pain while her singing since 1990. When she visited a doctor, the doctor found a red patch on her vocal cords. In order to support her voice, Loveless was taking cortisone and steroid tablets by 1992.

Loveless recorded for Epic throughout the 1990s and the beginning of the 2000s, but her commercial momentum slowed down as younger, flashier performers like Shania Twain and Faith Hill overshadowed her on country radio; none of the singles from her 1997 album Long Stretch of Lonesome or her 2000 album Strong Heart made it into the top ten. (The albums themselves did well, though; Strong Heart peaked at No. 13 and Long Stretch reached #9 on the country album charts.)

Loveless and Gordy wed in secret in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in February 1989. They kept their marriage a secret from the world for a year and a half later, mostly because Loveless did not want to upset her.

Terry Lovelace, his ex-husband, sought to reunite with his former wife because he still loved her.

In the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, Loveless has more than 40 singles, five of which are at number one: “Timber, I’m Falling in Love,” “Chains,” “Blame It on Your Heart,” “You Can Feel Bad,” and “Lonely Too Long.” Not including compilations, she has recorded fourteen studio albums, of which the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has certified two as gold and four as platinum in the US. Since 1988, she has been a part of the Grand Ole Opry. From 1976 until 1986, Loveless was wed to Terry Lovelace, the man who gave her her career name. She was wed to record

Emory Gordy Jr., producer, since 1989.

Released on January 25, 1988, Loveless’s second album, If My Heart Had Windows, was the one that made her known in the country music industry. George Jones and Steve Earle covers, “If My Heart Had Windows” and “A Little Bit in Love,” respectively, both made it into the top 10 of the country music charts. Additionally, Loveless was convinced to stay in Nashville when she received an invitation to join the Grand Ole Opry in 1988. People would arrive early to Loveless’s performances as the opening act for popular MCA performers like George Jones, Reba, and Strait when she was on the road. Her reputation at concerts, meanwhile, did not translate into record sales for her company. Released in April 1986, “I Did” was Loveless’ second single. Four other MCA vocalists who were signed to record albums had released their versions of the song concurrently. Not long after the song’s release, Roger Bowen invited Loveless to his office, where he told her that the song was doing too well on the radio and he wanted to take it off the air. “I have to be fair to the other artists” . He would offer Loveless an album deal in exchange for allowing her to release the single “I Did” from her debut album. This led to the creation of the Patty Loveless album of the same name, which saw its full release on February 21, 1987 after it was first made available in promotional form on October 1, 1986. The singles “After All” and “Wicked Ways”

were made available from that album, which once more did not perform well on the charts but managed to get enough radio that Tony Brown decided to sign Loveless to a long-term recording deal.

Loveless believed her marriage to Terry Lovelace was coming to an end in April 1985; the two eventually got a divorce on good terms in 1986. To assist her in returning to Nashville, she got in touch with her brother Roger. She wanted to perform country music again, but she felt so out of touch with it after spending so much time in the rock ‘n’ roll environment. One of the five songs on the demo tape, which Roger Ramey assisted his sister in recording, was a rough mix of Loveless’s self-penned song “I Did,” which she had originally written as a teenager and eventually put on her debut album.

Roger Ramey then started telling people about her ability. She didn’t agree with her brother that “I Did” should have been on the demo cassette. Roger contended that the song would be what secured Loveless a contract, despite Loveless’s lack of confidence in its quality. Roger began attempting to secure her a recording contract with a major Nashville label after the demo was completed.

Emory Gordy Jr., one of Tony Brown’s best producers, was brought in to assist with the MCA version of Loveless. They collaborated to create a number of tracks for Loveless, all of which were eventually distributed to radio stations with differing degrees of success. On December 7, 1985, MCA released her debut single, “Lonely Days, Lonely Nights,” which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Country chart.

Songs peak at No. 46 on January 25, 1986, after eight weeks on the chart.

She did not have a fruitful time in North Carolina because the police began raiding the clubs where she would perform and closing them. She was a waiter at her mother-in-law’s restaurant when she wasn’t performing. She started singing country music in clubs around 1984 as an alternative to the rock she usually sang. Nashville was home to a new generation of musicians, like George Strait and Reba McEntire, who were revolutionizing the genre’s conventions.

Because she had gotten married without her family’s approval, she was also estranged from them throughout this period of her life. Loveless claims, “I believe my father believed I had gone insane. Your life will be devastated by this music; it already did. However, it was music that I once more learned from. The people who would frequent this club, you would not believe them. When they were done with work, they would not go home. They would either dance or have a few beverages at this club. In those places, I gained a lot of knowledge about people and life. Every walk of life was represented, including those who had reached their lowest point. And me, there were moments when I saw myself developing

one of those individuals as well. I went through some difficult moments with my ex-husband. And I believe that at the time, it broke us apart and made us stop respecting one another. And it came to the point where we were strangers to one another.” When Loveless’s father, whom she admired, passed away in October 1979 while she was in North Carolina, it was a low period in her life.

In 1975, Loveless received his diploma from Fairdale High School. Dottie Ramey, her older sister, was an aspiring country singer who often opened for her brother Roger at small venues in eastern Kentucky under the name Swinging Rameys. When Dottie and Roger went to Fort Knox in 1969 to see her sister sing live,

Patty Ramey made the decision that she, too, wanted to pursue a career in performing.

Following her graduation from Louisville, Kentucky’s Fairdale High School in 1975, Patty Ramey joined the Wilburn Brothers band full-time as the lead vocalist. At this point, she got to know Terry Lovelace, the new drummer for the Wilburns. Lovelace and Loveless had a lot in common. Lovelace was from Kings Mountain, a little town in western North Carolina. Patty initially kept Lovelace and the Wilburns in the dark about her friendship and developing romance. When Doyle Wilburn eventually found out, though, he begged Patty to end things. But Ramey, ever the disobedient teenager, left the Wilburns and headed westward, to western North Carolina, with her boyfriend. Early in 1976, she

married Terry Lovelace and started playing in a Kings Mountain-based pickup band with him.

The Wilburn Brothers, Bill Anderson, Connie Smith, and Jean Shepard were all set to perform in a touring Grand Ole Opry event at Louisville Gardens in 1973. Jean Shepard, on the other hand, was unable to enter due to flooding. Seeing his chance, Danny King called the Rameys. Loveless and her sibling Roger had a brief, fifteen-minute stage appearance in the production.

After Patty Ramey’s performance, The Wilburn Brothers listened to her and inquired about her professional singing experience. She clarified that she had done some work with Porter Wagoner and had gone on weekends and summer vacations with him and Dolly Parton. Patty Ramey said yes when Doyle Wilburn inquired if she would be interested in moving to Nashville to work with their band as a replacement for their female singer. Patty Ramey traveled with the Wilburns on weekends and during the summer months while school wasn’t in session between 1973 and 1975. Loveless’s parents demanded that the Wilburns keep an eye on her while she was traveling.

In 1971, Patty Ramey was first taken to Nashville, Tennessee, by her brother Roger. After hearing Grand Ole Opry songs while growing up in Pikeville and Louisville, Roger relocated to Nashville in 1970 and started working as a producer for The Porter Wagoner Show.

Loveless had a passion for music at an early age. When she was twelve years old in 1969, the Ramey family relocated to Louisville, Kentucky. Her father’s battles with black lung illness, or coalworker’s pneumoconiosis, made the relocation necessary. Years of mining coal and breathing in coal dust were the cause of this.

Patty Ramey was originally brought to Nashville, TN, by her brother Roger in 1971. Growing up in Pikeville and Louisville, Roger was exposed to Grand Ole Opry music. In 1970, he moved to Nashville and began working as a producer for The Porter Wagoner Show.

Loveless developed a deep love for music at a young age. In 1969, the Ramey family moved to Louisville, Kentucky, when she was twelve years old. The move was required due to her father’s struggles with coalworker’s pneumoconiosis, also known as black lung sickness. This was brought by years of breathing in coal dust and mining coal.

Born on January 4, 1957, Patricia Lee Ramey is a professional name for American country music vocalist Patty Loveless. One of the most well-known female vocalists of neotraditional country music, Loveless made her debut on the scene with her debut (self-titled) album in late 1986. She has also released records in the bluegrass and country pop genres. Loveless grew up in Louisville and Elkhorn City, Kentucky, after being born in Pikeville, Kentucky. Her combination of country rock, honky tonk, and a somber, poignant ballad style helped her become well-known. Loveless has sold 15 million albums globally during her career.

In Pikeville, Kentucky, on January 4, 1957, Patty Loveless was born. She was the sixth of seven children born to Elkhorn City, Kentucky residents Naomie (née Bowling; 1921–2006) and John Ramey (1921–1979). Mr. Ramey was a coal miner, like many males in the area.
