Dottie West was the first recipient of the award in 1965. "Jody Miller’s talent cannot be overstated. She had this innate, God-given ability to interpret and communicate with the most beautiful tones and inflection," Miller’s rep, Jennifer McMullen, shared in a press release.
"She made it look and sound so easy that it sometimes takes a moment to realize the greatness of what you are hearing. But she was just as authentic and exceptional in her own life as she was on stage and on record." Miller released several hits in the ‘60s and ’70s, including "Home of the Brave," "Long Black Limousine," "Baby I’m Yours," There’s a Party Goin’ On," "Darling, You Can Always Come Back Home" and the Grammy-nominated single, "He’s So Fine."
