In this episode, Stauney and Sadie uncover the story of Linda Martell, a woman Beyoncé thanked for her album of the year win and the first Black female solo artist to perform at the Grand Ole Opry. She faced many barriers in country music, starting with a career in R&B before moving to the release of her groundbreaking album Color Me Country. Despite her talent and success, industry gatekeeping and racism pushed her out of the spotlight, leaving her contributions largely forgotten. Join us as we explore her impact, the struggles of Black artists in country music, and how her legacy continues to inspire today. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
