I'm Not Lisa
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] History
"I'm Not Lisa" has been said to be one of country music's greatest songs of all time.[citation needed] It was first recorded by Jessi Colter in 1975. Colter, the wife of country singer Waylon Jennings, was trying to establish her own career in country music. She wanted to go into the category of outlaw country music with her husband and other artists like Willie Nelson and Sammi Smith. She had recorded numerous duets with Jennings before writing any material on her own. "I'm Not Lisa" was one of the first songs she wrote the music to. The lyrics were written by a ghostwriter. Colter liked the song and decided to record it under her label Capitol Records. The song was then featured on her debuting 1975 album I'm Jessi Colter. The song soon was released as a single. "I'm Not Lisa" climbed the country charts that year and went directly to #1. "I'm Not Lisa" also achieved huge pop success. The song reached the Top 5 on the pop charts that year and made a Colter a household name.[citation needed] "I'm Not Lisa" became Colter's signature song.
"I'm Not Lisa" was one of the early crossover country songs by a female artist, and Colter's only crossover hit. Lynn Anderson, Skeeter Davis, and Patsy Cline would also achieve country-crossover success during the 1970s. "I'm Not Lisa" proved to be one of Colter's greatest achievements. Not only did she sing on the song, but Colter also played the keyboard in the recording. The song has also been classified as one of the greatest hits of the 1970s, reaching many '70s compilation albums.

My name is Julie, my sister's name is Lisa. When we heard this song in the 70's we were taken aback to say the least. There have been close times through the years that this song came true for both of us...lol. I love my sissy though, and we will always treasure this song!!

You`re so right ! I was a teenager in the 70`s and there was no internet. Some great classic songs are from the 70`s and I`m so glad I grew up in that time. Me and my friends cruised the main drag and all we had was the radio playing hit songs. I miss those days and will always treasure them. kids today can`t do much of anything. Now we have anti-cruising laws and no bonfires are allowed anymore by the lake. But please do enjoy your youth. It`s something you`ll never be able to recapture later.

Just saw Jessi sing this at All For the Hall with Keith Urban last Tuesday night. She is just as gracious and beautiful as ever. She even came to the AFTH after party and was the only artist I saw-strolling thru fans half her age, and down memory lane I'm sure. What a gorgeous, genuine smile.

I remember when I was working at a microscopic-town AM radio station during the 6pm-Midnight shift, I'd always put this song on to fill the 3:20 that should of gone to commercials at the bottom of the 11:00 hour. I was never reprimanded for it.

Has anyone considered that His hand may be God's hand? That she died? Maybe she wasn't a cheating #!%(# like my wife.

Waylon was a lucky guy. I'm glad she's who she is, and thanks for this tremendous song, Jessi!
