After her 1980’s country-pop run, Terri Gibbs leaned hard into Christian/gospel scene and built an impressive career there too… her 1987 album Turnaround earned Grammy nominations, including Best Gospel Performance, Female. #TerriGibbs #OneHitWondered

While she never matched the pop success of her debut, Terri Gibbs remained a country staple throughout the 1980s with Top 20 country hits like "Rich Man,” "Ashes to Ashes," & "Mis'ry River". She even toured and recorded a duet, "Slow Burning Fire," with George Jones. #TerriGibbs #OneHitWondered

Awards certainly followed: Terri Gibbs won ACM Top New Female Vocalist (listed under 1980) and became the first CMA Horizon Award recipient (the category that later became New Artist of the Year). “Somebody’s Knockin’” also earned Gibbs a Grammy nomination. #TerriGibbs #OneHitWondered

Terri Gibb’s breakthrough was her first single, “Somebody’s Knockin',” the title track off her debut album. It hit country radio and then sprinted straight across formats… #8 Country, #3 Adult Contemporary, and #13 on the #Billboard #Top40. #TerriGibbs #OneHitWondered

Should I let him in
Lord, it's the devil
Would you look at him
I've heard about him
But I never dreamed
He'd have blue eyes and blue jeans
Well somebody's talkin'
He's whispering to me
Your place or my place
Well, which will it be
I'm gettin' weaker
