Popular country singer Lynn Anderson has died at 67.
Anderson, who was known for her strong voice, and her 1970's chart-topping song "(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden, passed away on Thursday at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville Tennessee, according to Associated Press.
She was originally admitted to the hospital for pneumonia, but later died of a heart attack, publicist Mark Logsdon told CNN.
Anderson, who was born in North Dakota, grew up in California. She was born into music with both of her parents as songwriters and she started her professional singing career when she was just a teenager. Her first record, "For Better of For Worse," was released when she was 19.
She quickly rose to fame with plenty of 1960's and 1970's hits including, "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away) and "That's a No-No." She also made a ton of appearances on "The Lawrence Welk Show."
Her biggest song, "Rose Garden," was No. 1 on the country charts for five weeks and was also No. 3 on Billboard's pop charts and it even earned her a Grammy for best female country vocal performance. She has 18 country Top 10 hits and five No. 1 songs. Her final album, "Bridges," was released just last month.
She is survived by her father Casey Anderson, her partner Mentor Williams, three children and four grandchildren.
