Jean Shepard's signature song, a duet she did with Ferlin Husky, "Dear John" launched her career. Recorded in 1953 during the Korean War it must have had more poignancy than most country songs. Miss Shepard is 77. The video below is not the best quality but is the latest I could find. It was recorded two years ago when she was only 75. You can read more here or look for more videos here.
