Hi! I love that you're exploring KT Oslin finally! :) here's some backstory for you. KT was born in 1942 and joined a folk band with Guy Clark in college. The Broadway show Hello Dolly came to Houston and she auditioned and got the part and moved to NYC. Later she was in Promises, Promises. Following that she did many commercials: denture adhesive, hemorrhoid cream etc. Around 1982 she got a music deal and released Clean Your Own Tables which didn't peak and she was dropped. She went through a depression, gained weight and then decided she knew better than the music label. She borrowed $ from an aunt and made a demo and did a show in Nashville for execs. She signed with RCA records. Signature song. 80's ladies. Other hits: hey Bobby, hold me, this woman, didn't expect it to go Down this Way, mary and Willie, come next monday, do ya, I'll always come back, new way home, Cornell Crawford , younger men....also done at farm aid!, two hearts and silver tongue and gold plated lies. Albums. 80's ladies, this woman, love in a small town, my roots are showing, live close by visit often, and simply kt oslin. Didn't make it until she was 45! She never married and had no children. She lived in NYC for over 21 years. She was the first female to win country album of the year cma. She unseated Reba as female vocalist after 4 year winning streak. She wrote Do Ya after noticing the little things married friends started bickering about after about year 5 of marriage. She wrote Hey Bobby after going to a fish fry in Nashville. Each song she wrote is a different story with a different character she had in mind while writing, while throwing in some personal parts. The gloves! She did NOT have anything wrong with or dislike her hands. She wore a pair to her first awards show and people made such a fuss she made it her trademark look and man she nailed it! There was a rumor of a feud with Reba and the 2 did a skit on TNN...available on RUclips....hilarious! She is memorialized at Woodlawn cemetery in Nashville right beside Tammy Wynette. She passed fom covid and Parkinson's complications. Thanks Britt.
Britt, you don’t know how much it warms my heart to see your love for KT! I was a 12yr old kid when she had her first hit. I fell in love before she hit the first chorus! I’m so happy that her music lives on! Btw, if you want sassy, check out “Younger Men”!
Love all the KT love! I got sucked down the KT rabbit hole a few years ago. I absolutely love this woman. I would also recommend some of her interviews as well as her songs. I know you already reacted to Do Ya, but she performed that song on the Arsenio Hall show (it’s on RUclips). It’s probably my favorite performance of the song. I would definitely recommend checking it out. Also getting to see her interact with LL Cool J is fun. As far as songs, 80’s Ladies is her most popular and for good reason. The songwriting is amazing. I also recommend: Where is a Woman to Go, Cornell Crawford, Come Next Monday, Neva Sawyer, Down in the Valley. Honestly, her whole discography is amazing. You won’t be disappointed. Thanks again for sharing KT with everyone. 😊
I always love KT Oslin She played in a movie, called a thing, called love, and that was river phoenix‘s last movie. It was terrific. When she came on to the country scene, it was fast and terrific. I got to see her one time in concert at Billy Bob’s Texas, and she was great. Then she walked away from the road, and away from the touring reported that she had depression, but I would be depressed too, because I think she had quadruple bypass surgery and after she got better I think she did come out with another album that did well, and then another one that didn’t But I do know later on that she did develop I think in 2015 something like that maybe 2010 something like that she was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and I know that because I am a Parkinson’s patient and it has devastated not only her but Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond and others But I’ll always remember this little sassy woman and the reason she likes to wear gloves because she didn’t like to look at our hands. She always said if she could make it in country music she could sell gloves. Take care and God bless
She was awesome and so true to herself and as you said you can feel that in her performances...she did not need to make up a stage character because she was a wonderful character as herself❤❤❤❤
The reason she didn't start singing until her forties is because she did time on in theater so I imagine there was dancing as well as acting jobs. It was in her forties, that a guy from nashville found her discovered her and and brought her on down... other songs come next monday, Eighties ladies, i ain't gonna love nobody but cornell crawford.
It's no wonder I didn't get saved until 2001 with the kind of lyrics and performers I loved and was tuned in to back then. It's so easy to see in retrospect. Subtil?
I am one who was lucky enough to be able to follow her from her beginning! Love her so much! She has been my favorite since I first heard her! Love that you are reacting to her and sharing her with the world again!!! ❤
I found a JEWEL on yt the other day and thought of your channel when I saw it because i know you react to live performances. It doesn't have that many views but I know you'll love it! It's Conway Twitty - "I Can't Stop Loving You"! Enjoy and thanks for what you do!
Hello Britt. I think you are so cool and have a great outlook about life. I am Theo from Winnipeg Canada. Was wondering if possible could you please React to two great bands from Winnipeg home of Rock in Canada. First band The Guess Who a song called American Woman. Seconda band called Bachman Turner Overdrive or BTO song is You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet. Love you girl and really do enjoy and appreciate you. Thanks Theo.
From watching this I know that Britt would LOVE Shirley Maclaine. A top actress, singer and the perhaps the best dancer ever. 'If They Could See Me Now' --- ruclips.net/video/cAcXYqc5amU/видео.html
She was FANTASTIC!!!
Absolutely top tier!!!
"80s Ladies" was one of her big hits if not her first.

I always love KT Oslin

Yes, K T was in New York performing in theater when she was younger
RIP KT! She was a great singer song writer
I always liked the line, 🎶”Drink a champagne toast in a plastic cup.”🎶
Now THAT’S country!!! 👍🏼
She was awesome and so true to herself and as you said you can feel that in her performances...she did not need to make up a stage character because she was a wonderful character as herself❤❤❤❤
You just loved every second of this. Like one short moment you weren't smiling or having a stank face for her. Love it.
YOUNGER MEN is one of my favorites by her!!
Eighties Ladies is a must by K.T.
she’s a broadway queen. check out her broadway catalog
This Arkansas gal was such an amazing entertainer. Be sure to also check out 80’s Ladies and Come Next Monday.
If u do Come Next Monday u must watch the video! So unexpected! KT is known for her music videos!
I always got Eartha Kitt vibes from her. I will always love K.T.❤
The reason she didn't start singing until her forties is because she did time on in theater so I imagine there was dancing as well as acting jobs. It was in her forties, that a guy from nashville found her discovered her and and brought her on down... other songs come next monday, Eighties ladies, i ain't gonna love nobody but cornell crawford.
Old Cornell is one of my all time favs. I love KT
I'll always come back, come next monday, hold me and 80s ladies are great also
"Hold Me" is a slower one but will not you off your feet
That era of country was some of the best country ever
It's no wonder I didn't get saved until 2001 with the kind of lyrics and performers I loved and was tuned in to back then. It's so easy to see in retrospect. Subtil?
I got to see her live! She was AMAZING!!!!
I still think you should do a cover of “Do Ya”. You’d kill it!
She spent many years in NYC in musical productions.
I love KT , may she rest in peace...
Darealdeal
An all time great song and singer ❤❤❤
80s Ladies is THE KT song
She was sooo awesome!! Loved her!!!
My song! Love this
You need to watch K.T.'s Younger Men.
I am one who was lucky enough to be able to follow her from her beginning! Love her so much! She has been my favorite since I first heard her! Love that you are reacting to her and sharing her with the world again!!! ❤

My Mawmaw was called Aunt Bobby by her nieces and nephews.
