"Born A Woman" #12 9/17/1966
This decidedly non-feminist record was the polar opposite of Lesley Gore's "You Don't Own Me" and became the first hit for Sandy Posey. She started out as a background singer on sessions by Elvis and Percy Sledge among others, and eventually made her way into the spotlight. Sandy gravitated into country music in the 70's with limited success. Along the way she married an Elvis impersonator. I think Rush Limbaugh still uses this for his "Feminist Update" segments. Haven't heard his show in years, though. Video is from "Where The Action Is."

The '60s were not quite as liberal and psychedelic as modern-day "music historians" might think.
Only a minority "fringe" were thinking that progressively at the time.
