Cristy Lane - Biography
Eleanor Johnston, known by her professional name as Cristy Lane (born January 8, 1940) is an American country music and gospel music singer, best known for a number of major country hits in the late 70s and the early 1980s, including her cover version of the song, "One Day at a Time".
After Stoller continuously promoted Lane's singles, the songs "Tryin' to Forget About You" and "Sweet Deceiver" charted in 1977. Her next single, titled "Let Me Down Easy", was chosen as the background music for a national news story on a balloon festival. Although the exposure was limited, it brought enough attention for the song to peak in the top 10 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs, reaching No. 7. Her singles "Shake Me I Rattle" and "Penny Arcade" were top 20 and top 10 hits respectively. That year, LS released her debut album, Cristy Lane Is the Name, which included all three of the hit singles.
The single's follow-up, "Sweet Sexy Eyes", made the country top 10 the same year, becoming her final entry in the Top 10. She had a top 20 hit in 1981 with a cover of ABBA's "I Have a Dream", followed by a top 25 hit with "Love to Love You" from the same album. While serving eight months of a three-year prison sentence on bribery charges, Stoller collaborated with Pete Chaney to write Lane's biography. The book was published and self-promoted on television. The biography, also titled One Day at a Time, was sold in large amounts after being promoted. Stoller promoted more of Lane's music and material on television in the mid-1980s, releasing new compilation albums along with the book, and her revenues greatly increased, as high as ten to one. Lane's material was soon promoted constantly on television and eventually sold on the world wide web in the 1990s, helping her record sales increase worldwide.
Throughout the 1990s, she continued releasing more compilation albums, including releases such as Greatest Hits off the LS label, which included many of Lane's biggest hits as well as covers of other songs, including Christian and country music songs. The Greatest Hits album was given a positive review. In August 2003, she was honored by the Veterans of Foreign Wars in San Antonio, Texas for her recognition to the military, and was inducted into its hall of fame.
