Born 97 Years Ago Today in Oklahoma, the “Queen of the Coast” Who Married Not One, but Two Bakersfield Country Pioneers
On this day (October 1) in 1927, Bonnie Campbell — better known as Bonnie Owens — was born in Blanchard, Oklahoma. She is perhaps best remembered for her marriages to two staples of the Bakersfield country music scene — first Buck Owens, then Merle Haggard. However, Bonnie Owens was an accomplished performer in her own right, reaching the charts with the solo tracks “Why Don’t Daddy Live Here Anymore” (1963) and “Don’t Take Advantage of Me” (1964).
