Lynn Anderson, who is best known for her hit numbers like "Ride, Ride, Ride" and "Rose Garden," has passed away at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, on July 30, Thursday. She was 67.
The late singer's family has released the statement citing the cause of her death as cardiac arrest, CNN reported.
Born in North Dakota and raised in California, the late singer was the daughter of country musicians Casey and Liz Anderson. She became interested in music at the tender age of six and by the time she reached her teens, the late singer had already given several performances in local TV show "Country Caravan," along with winning the title of California Horse Show Queen in 1966, The Guardian reported.
Although Lynn released her first single in 1966, her first major hit, "If I Kiss You (Will You Go Away)," came the following year. Another of her release, "That's A No No," peaked at no. 2 on Billboard in 1969.
The major turning point in Lynn's career came after the release of "Rose Garden," after which she was established as the successful country singer. Her popularity reached across the globe with her hit number topping the charts in the United Kingdom and Germany and she eventually won a Grammy Award.
The late singer's other hits included "Rocky Top," "You're My Man," "How Can I Unlove You" and "What a Man."
Lynn also made several TV appearances from time to time alongside stars like John Wayne and Tom Jones. Her final album, "Bridges," came out last month. She is survived by her father, partner Mentor Williams and three children.
