Christy Lane
Eleanor Johnston, known by her professional name as Cristy Lane
(born January 8, 1940) is an American country music and gospel music singer, best known for a number of
major country hits in the late 70s and the early 1980s, including her signature
song, "One Day at a Time."
After marrying her husband, Lee Stoller (a business man and entrepreneur), he
began to take control of Lane's entire career, serving as her manager and
publicist. The couple promoted Lane's work through television and internet,
bringing Lane's worldwide record sales to multi-platinum levels. Lane's career
began to take shape in the mid-70s, after beginning to record for her husband's
record label. Her first singles, "Trying to Forget About You" and "Sweet
Deceiver" were released in 1977, followed by her first major hit, "Let Me Down
Easy" by the end of the year. After having a series of Top 10 and 20 country
hits, she signed with United Artists Records, and had her
biggest hit with "One Day at a Time," a Gospel song, that peaked at #1 on the
Country charts.
