She Only had out a few tunes in the 60s or early 70s.. But was wondering if she is still singing, or were is she now?
I have a great vidio of her on that good ole nashville music with Hal Rugg on steel, She was singing (Son of A Preacher Man).

Yes! A great singer. I remember her tune "Little Golden Band" from about '69 or '70. She sounded as if she had been influenced by Brenda Lee.[This message was edited by frank rogers on 01 April 2004 at 08:03 PM.]

Oh and BTW, I think she was referred to as "Little Peggy Little" at one time in her career.

The last I heard of her,which was SEVERAL years ago,she was working as a waitress,in the Dallas area. When I joined Tommy Overstreet,back in late 70,they had just broken up,as a vocal team. One of the tunes that I can recall,that they recorded together was,"Good Day,Sunshine",an old Beatles tune. I have one album by Peggy,on the Dot label,"A Little Bit Of Peggy"(her 1st).

Sure I remember Peggy Little. Fastest vocal vibrato I ever heard in a female voice! I recall listening to her sing, among other songs, a cover of the Lynn Anderson hit "Rose Garden" on one of the half-hour syndicated country music TV shows back around 1969 or so. I always wondered what happened to her after she quit working with T.O.

Didn't she have a cover of "Son of a Preacher Man". I know someone did and I thought it was her but maybe not. I do remember that vibrato. We always called it the Canadian Trill as artists like Lucille Starr and Sylvia Tyson and some of them had it. Also if anyone knows, whatever happened to Margo Smith? She also had that type of voice....JH

Margo Smith!
What a great singer, I had a chance to Back her up while i was working with Holly Dunn, She was on a package show with us, and i also got to know her pretty well on a 8 hour plane ride.. She was still doing some gospel with her daughter Holly, and was talking about retiring.. Because she had a new grandbaby on the way..
I enjoyed working with her, She has not lost a thing, as a singer or preformer!
She is a TRUE Lady.
