The Single Girl – Sandy Posey (1966)

An individual, limited edition, example of vinyl record silhouette art made from a genuine, original, 45rpm, 7” single of The Single Girl from 1966, by American singer, Sandy Posey. Released on the MGM record label, this vinyl single has been reworked into a silhouette of a single girl.

The Single girl was written by Martha Sharpe and was an international hit for American singer Sandy Posey. Recorded in Nashville, Tennessee and although not strictly a country song, her rendition gave it a country feel . Though Single Girl contained some sentiments that were ostensibly skeptical of men (for example, “I know all about men and their lies”) it was traditional in outlook – a young, isolated woman anticipating that some day, despite not knowing anybody, people being phoney and the nights getting so lonely, she would find waiting for her a man to lean on.
