Chanteuse Country US née Jewel Faye Smith, le
5 Août 1943 à Orange County (Californie). Sammi Smith est décédée le 12 Février 2005 à
Oklahoma City (Oklahoma).
In the
tradition of Waylon Jennings and Willie
Nelson, singer/songwriter Sammi Smith was considered a country music outlaw,
unafraid to sing songs that reflected the sometimes gritty realities of modern
life. She first came to fame singing Kris
Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the Night" and was noted for her
husky voice, the result of spending many years singing in smoke-filled clubs.
She was born Jewel Fay Smith in California, but spent her childhood living in
different southwestern states. At age 11, Smith dropped out of school and the
following year began singing professionally in clubs. She married at age 15 and
gave birth to four children. At songwriter Gene Sullivan's urging, a newly
divorced Smith moved to Nashville in 1967. A year later she had her first minor
hit, "So Long, Charlie Brown, Don't Look for Me Around." In 1970, she had
another minor hit, but it was not until the end of the year that she had her
first major smash with "Help Me Make It Through the Night," which made it to the
top of the country charts and also became a Top Ten pop hit. Later that year,
she wrote "Cedartown, Georgia," which became a major hit for Waylon
Jennings.
In 1973, Smith moved to Dallas to join Jennings and Willie
Nelson and become an "outlaw." Through 1975, she had several hits including
"Then You Walk In" and "Today I Started Loving You Again." She moved to Elektra
in 1975 and remained with the label for three years. During that time, she had
several chart entries with such songs as "Loving Arms" and "Days That End in
'Y'" (both 1977) and "Norma Jean" (1978), a tribute to Marilyn Monroe. In 1979,
she signed to the independent Cyclone label and had a Top 20 hit with "What a
Lie." In 1980, she moved to Sound Factory and had one Top 40 and two Top 20 hits
including "I Cry When I'm Alone." Her last hit came in 1986 with "Love Me All
Over."
