Born and raised in Leesville, South Carolina, as Thelma Bynem, Linda Martell went on to become the first commercially successful Black female artist in country music. She gained popularity with her hit single, “Color Him Father,” and became the first Black female solo artist to perform at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, and appeared on the TV show, “Hee Haw.” She now lives in Irmo, SC, and told Rolling Stone magazine that her career was marred and shortened by racism. #BHM2024
