She started her music career, in 2005, with the release of "Fallen in Love" single by EMI Gospel.  She would release a precursor extended play, in 2007's "Fallen in Love", again with EMI Gospel.

"Running Bear" is a song written by Jiles Perry Richardson (a.k.a. The Big Bopper) and sung most famously by Johnny Preston in 1959.  The 1959 recording featured background vocals by Richardson and George Jones and the session's producer Bill Hall, who provided the "Indian chanting" of "uga-uga" during the three verses, as well as the "Indian war cries" at the start and end of the record.  It was No. 1 for three weeks in January 1960 on the ""Billboard" Hot 100" in the United States.  The song also reached No. 1 in the UK Singles Chart in 1960.  Coincidentally, "Running Bear" was immediately preceded in the Hot 100 No. 1 position by Marty Robbins' "El Paso", another song in which the protagonist dies.  "Billboard" ranked "Running Bear" as the No. 4 song of 1960. "You Keep Me Hangin' On" is a 1966 song written and composed by Holland–Dozier–Holland.  It first became a popular "Billboard" Hot 100 number one hit for the American Motown group The Supremes in late 1966.  The rock band Vanilla Fudge covered the song a year later and had a top ten hit with their version.  British pop singer Kim Wilde covered "You Keep Me Hangin' On" in 1986, bumping it back to number one on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in June 1987.  The single reached number one by two different musical acts in America.  In the first 32 years of the "Billboard" Hot 100 rock era, “You Keep Me Hangin' On” became one of only six songs to achieve this feat.  In 1996, country music singer Reba McEntire's version reached number 2 on the US "Billboard" Hot Dance Club Play chart. Buddy Brock is an American country music songwriter.  His biggest hits to date are "Watermelon Crawl," co-written with Zack Turner, which reached the #4 spot on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs chart and made the "Billboard" Hot 100 as a dance remix; and the 1992 song "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong with the Radio," co-written and performed by Aaron Tippin, which held the number 1 position on the country chart for three consecutive weeks in April and May, 1992.  Other songs written or co-written by Brock include "I Wanna Fall in Love," a #3 country hit co-written with Mark Spiro for Lila McCann; "You've Got to Stand for Something" (co-written with and sung by Tippin), which reached #6 on the "Billboard" country chart); "Haunted Heart" (co-written with Kim Williams), a #9 country hit for Sammy Kershaw; and "I Wonder How Far It Is Over You" (co-written with and sung by Tippin), a top-40 country hit. Barbara Fairchild (born November 12, 1950) is an American country and gospel singer, who is best known for her hit 1973 country song "The Teddy Bear Song."  After the success of the song, she continued to have success on the country charts. "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin'" is a song written by Ben Peters, and recorded by American country music artist Charley Pride.  It was released in October 1971 as the first single from the album "Charley Pride Sings Heart Songs".  The song has since become one of his signature tunes and was his eighth song to reach number one on the country charts.  "Kiss an Angel Good Mornin" was also Charley Pride's first single to reach the pop charts, peaking at number twenty-one on the "Billboard" Hot 100, and also went into the Top Ten of the Adult Contemporary charts.  It also reached #19 on the U.S. "Cash Box" Top 100.  The song spent four months on the pop chart, longer than any of his other hits.  "Billboard" ranked it as the No. 74 song for 1972. The "Billboard" Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles of the United States.  Its data, published by "Billboard" magazine and compiled by Nielsen SoundScan, is based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, as well as airplay and streaming.  At the end of a year, "Billboard" will publish an annual list of the 100 most successful songs throughout that year on the Hot 100 chart based on the information.  For 2005, the list was published on December 20, calculated with data from December 4, 2004 to November 26, 2005.  The R&B track We Belong Together by American singer Mariah Carey was named the number 1 song of 2005 and it spent the longest time at number 1 for the year, 14 weeks.  This is also the joint-second longest time at number 1 for a single in the 57-year history of the Hot 100 post-1958 inception, after Mariah Carey's own collaboration with Boyz II Men, One Sweet Day, which spent 16 weeks atop the Hot 100 from 1995 to 1996. "It's Your Love" is a song written by Stephony Smith, and performed by American country music artist Tim McGraw.  It was released in May 1997 as the first single from his album "Everywhere".  The song, featuring wife Faith Hill, reached number one on "Billboard"<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Hot Country Songs chart in its fifth week on the chart.  The song stayed there for six weeks, and became McGraw's and Hill's first top-ten hit on the "Billboard" Hot 100.  The accompanying music video, directed and produced by Sherman Halsey is notable in that it showcases Hill, who was very noticeably pregnant with the couple's first daughter, Gracie.  The music video won Video of the Year at the 1997 Academy of Country Music Awards.  The song was later recorded by pop trio She Moves, whose version peaked at number 67 on the Hot 100.  The song appears on the game Karaoke Revolution Country. A recitation song or "recitation" as it is more commonly called, is a spoken narrative of a song, generally with a sentimental (or at times, religious) theme.  Such numbers were quite popular in country music from the 1930s into the 1960s, although there were only few in number.  While they almost disappeared in the 1970s, that decade saw several of the biggest recitation songs of all time: Red Sovine's sentimental ode to an ill child "Teddy Bear" and C. W. McCall's truck-driving saga "Convoy", both songs hitting number one on the country charts and even crossing over into the pop market.  McCall, who did not sing, became a popular country star in the 1970s with a string of recitations, most of them comic, although his last hit, 1977's "Roses for Mama" was a sentimental tale in the best Sovine tradition.  A number of Elvis Presley's and Johnny Cash's songs, as well as a number of songs from other genres of popular music and a number of gospel songs, also featured recitations. "The Teddy Bear Song" is a 1973 single written by Don Earl and Nick Nixon, and made famous by country music vocalist Barbara Fairchild.  Released in December 1972, the song was Fairchild's only No. 1 song on the "Billboard magazine" Hot Country Singles chart in March 1973.  The song also became a modest pop hit, peaking at No. 32 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in June 1973.
