“Martha Carson, born Irene Amburgey, was an American gospel-country music singer most popular during the 1950s. Born in Neon, Kentucky, Carson and her two sisters were spotted by radio barn-dance impresario John Lair and invited to join the cast of the WSB Barn Dance in Atlanta in 1938. The Amburgey sisters were given the hayseed names of Minnie, Marthie, and Mattie.” (Wikipedia)
