Linda Martell appeared on two spoken-word segments on Beyoncé’s latest album, “Cowboy Carter.” Martell, a country singer, made history as the first Black woman to play the Grand Ole Opry in 1969. Five years later, the pioneering singer was out of country music. Billboard has more on Martell’s early career, such as her breakthrough single, “Color Him Father” that peaked at No. 22, and the wider audience that is finally hearing about her now. https://flip.it/YNsHGI #Culture#Entertainment#Music#Beyonce
