LYNN ANDERSON R.I.P. 1947-2015
US country singer Lynn Anderson, best known for her worldwide 1971 hit (I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden, has died on July 30, 2015, aged 67. She had been in hospital in Nashville, where she suffered a heart attack. Other US hits included You're My Man, How Can I Unlove You? and Top of the World, also recorded by the Carpenters. Singer Dolly Parton said, "Lynn is blooming in God's Rose Garden now. We will miss her and remember her fondly." Anderson said: [Rose Garden] was popular because it touched on emotions. It was perfectly timed. It was out just as we came out of the Vietnam years and a lot of people were trying to recover. This song stated that you can make something out of nothing. You take it and go ahead." - BBC
