KT Oslin

Post by Paul King »

I saw on Monday where KT Oslin had passed. She was 78 years of age. She had some good songs but I do not remember much steel in them if any at all.

Sad end to a sweet lady. Covid19 was listed as the cause even though she suffered from Parkenson disease. I don't believe there was any steel in her music, but she was a class act.

I absolutely loved her entire package! Tim Atwood describes on Facebook how much fun it is to let go on DO YA! Most all remember 80’s LADIES too; but, one of my all time favorites of hers is WALL OF TEARS. Love the character and grit in her voice - and the truth in the words she sang. Tommy didn’t remember that much about her music, but liked it when I would go on a play-by-playYou-tube frenzy in the hospital! She was our Artist of the night just a couple of months ago. 😢

Sorry we've lost KT, she deserved more fame than she received, IMHO.

She was very unique at the time country music began to branch out. Very talented too. Rest her soul.
