Info for (I've Got a) Happy Heart (Remastered)

One of 3 releases from the Buck Owens protégée originally released in 1972, I’ve Got A Happy Heart features the title track which hit #3 on the Country charts. Produced by Owens, the album features eight tracks written/co-written by Buck, and a track written by his son, Buddy Alan. Transferred from the original analog masters by Grammy®-winning engineer Michael Graves.

Original Album Liner Notes: Susan Raye—few singers as lovely… few sing as well. Without doubt, the combination of Susan Raye—all American girl… singer… entertainer… international hit-maker (“L.A. International Airport” and “Pitty Pitty Patter”)—is one of the happiest, odwn-homiest mixtures in all of country music.

Susan’s latest album—called (I’ve Got A) Happy Heart—is filled with sunshine smiles and feeling songs. Sunshine smiles like “Gonna Roll Out The Red Carpet.” Feeling songs like “Don’t Ever Tell Me Good-Bye.” It is an unforgettable experience—in a memorable calendar-day sort of way. And, like Susan herself, it is something that won’t leave you feeling quite the same…

Susan Raye
born 8th October 1944, Eugene, Oregon, USA. In 1961, with no personal thoughts of being a country singer, she found her mother had entered her in a talent show. She won and was soon singing and working as a disc jockey on local radio. By the mid-60s, she was a regular on the Portland television show Hoedown, where she was seen by Buck Owens’ manager. Between 1968 and 1976, she worked with Owens, became a Capitol Records recording artist in her own right and was a regular performer on the top television show Hee Haw, which Owens co-hosted. Between 1970 and 1977, she registered 21 solo country hits, including ‘I’ve Got A Happy Heart’ and her version of Kay Starr’s pop hit ‘Wheel Of Fortune’. During this time she also recorded duets with Owens, six of which charted, including a Top 10 with ‘The Great White Horse’. She retired for a time but reappeared in the country charts in 1986 with ‘I Just Can’t Take The Leaving Anymore’. Raye raised six children and then returned to college in the mid-80s to study psychology. She now works as a counsellor.
