description: "Ellen Muriel Deason, known professionally as Kitty Wells, was an American country music singer. Her 1952 hit recording \"It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels\" made her the first female country singer to top the U.S. country charts. “It Wasn’t God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels” also was her first of several pop crossover hits. Wells is the only artist to be awarded top female vocalist awards for 14 consecutive years. Her chart-topping hits continued until the mid-1960s, paving the way for and inspiring a long list of female country singers who came to prominence in the 1960s."
