Molly O'Day - Discography
Lois LaVerne Williamson, born July 9, 1923 in Pike County, Kentucky, was an American country music vocalist known as Molly O’Day.
Lois was born to Joseph and Hester Williamson. Her father supported the family as a coalminer. Neither of her parents played music but Lois got together with her two brothers, Cecil and Joe, to practice singing and playing. Lois and her two brothers, who called themselves Skeets and Duke, began performing at local dances.
In 1939, Lois joined the Radio Ramblers as a vocalist under the pseudonym Mountain Fern. She worked with a banjoist called Murphy McClees and changed her name to Dixie Lee.
Lois applied for the position as a vocalist in the band Lynn Davis and His Forty-Niners, who had performed on WHIS in Bluefield, Virginia for the past four years. A few months later, on April 5, 1941, Lynn Davis and Lois Williamson were married. In 1941 Lois changed her name to Molly O'Day as there was already a singer named Dixie Lee. In 1945, Lynn decided to change the band's name to the
Cumberland Mountain Folks.
The new band became a hot act. In 1946, the head of Acuff-Rose, Fred Rose, heard Molly sing. Rose almost immediately arranged a recording contract with Columbia Records. Molly O'Day & The Cumberland Mountain Folks made their first recordings on December 16, 1946. During her first years as a recording artist Molly O'Day's popularity increased but she started to have doubts about her life's choice. By 1951 she had made her last recording session.
Although O'Day recorded albums for Bob Mooney's Rem label (later reissued on Starday) and GRS Records in the 1960s, she preferred to sing in churches and do evangelistic work. In February 1974, Molly and Lynn started a program on a Christian radio station in Huntington, West Virginia featuring gospel recordings.
In the 1980s her health began to deteriorate after she was diagnosed with cancer. She died on December 5, 1987, aged 64, at the Cabell Huntington Hospital in Huntingdon, West Virginia. She was survived by her husband.
O'Day was inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
