Born 81 Years Ago Today in Texas, the Country Music Trailblazer Who Turned Small-Town Hypocrisy Into a No. 1 Crossover Smash

On this day (October 19) in 1945, Jeanne Carolyn Stephenson was born in the small West Texas town of Anson, roughly 25 miles north of Abilene. After getting married as a teenager, she became known as Jeannie C. Riley, whom you likely recognize from her international 1968 hit “Harper Valley P.T.A.” Although country-pop singer Billie Jo Spears recorded a version of the Tom T. Hall-penned song around the same time, it’s Riley’s rendition that remains etched into the pillars of country music history. Released in August 1968, the song topped both the U.S. country and pop charts, making Riley the first female artist ever to accomplish that feat. She would hold that title for 13 years until Dolly Parton did the same in 1981 with “9 to 5”.

The theory holds that scent is the sensation most closely tied to memory. I find proof when I walk through the strip mall’s glass doors. The pleasant smell of other people’s things, specifically the musky odor of their used books, records, magazines—everything that isn’t “yesterday’s newspaper,” as the store’s motto reads—smacks me like a wave. All bookstores have a scent. Only my Half Price Books has this one.

Step Into This Old School Texas Drive In And You’ll Feel Like You’ve Landed In The 1950s

A tray hooks onto your car window, and a burger on a poppy-seed bun shows up right beside you. No dining room, no booth, and no rush to give up your parking spot. Carhops still walk this lot, taking orders the same way drive-ins did back when tail fins ruled the road. The menu is short, the prices are friendly, and the parking lot turns into a car show on weekends.
