Two of her best-known hits are “He’s a Heartache” and “Tell Me a Lie”. Overall in her career, Fricke scored eight No. 1 Country hits and nine Country Top Ten hits.

[2] Despite growing up in a musical family, spending much of her childhood singing at home, school, and church, it did not occur to her that music might be a profession. Whilst studying for a bachelor’s degree in elementary education at Indiana University, she kept active musically but It remained a hobby, not a serious career choice. Then, when she began to earn extra money singing commercial jingles she began to see that music might earn her a living. [3]
