Small town girl and the hit "Big Town Boy"

She was a girl from a small town in Ontario who recorded a huge hit, and then quietly gave up music for home and marriage. Shirley Matthews was born in Harrow, near Windsor. She came to Toronto as a teenager and got a job as a telephone switchboard operator with Bell Canada. It was the 60s and Shirley could sing a bit. She and her sister Joyce did a little warbling for fun at the Bluenote Club. From these casual occasions Shirley Matthews was invited to New York and ultimately recorded the million seller Big Town Boy and a number of other hits. The tune is below.
