| Six Hundred ThirtyNineth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Sandy Posey |
 |
Sandra Lou Posey was born June 18, 1944 in Jasper, Alabama.
Posey's first single record, under the name "Sandy Carmel", was "Kiss Me Goodnight" (1965), but received little publicity and made little impact.
Posey had her first hit with "Born a Woman"in March of 1966. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. "Born a Woman" was regarded by some as a women's liberationist song ("You're born to be stepped on, lied to, cheated on"), although it was lampooned by others and Helen Reddy, whose song, "I Am Woman", became a feminist anthem in 1972, dismissed it much later as "dreadful" and its lyrics as "not exactly empowering".
Speaking of dreadful and not exactly empowering, how about conquering this simple little three stage cache in the Garland Cemetery. Just answer the questions at the first two stages, and then head on over to the final which is a camo'ed pill bottle nearest a small, unassuming marker for Marie Posey.
