Songwriter of Country and World
A.k.a. Sharon Rose Black
American country and gospel songwriter, born July 6, 1941 in Bonne Terre, Missouri and died January 3, 2003 outside of Nashville, Tennessee. Sharon was one of many women who moved to Music City in the 1960s to pursue a dream. She took the last train from St. Louis to Nashville with nothing but her music. She found success as a recording artist signed with Decca and later Kapp Records, with songs like: "Woman Let Go of My Man," and "It's a Long Way to Heaven." Her biggest success came as a songwriter. She had a #1 hit with Loretta Lynn's "Woman of the World (1969)," just the 2nd #1 of Lynn's career and earning Higgins the BMI Citation of Achievement. Other artists who have recorded her work include: Conway Twitty, Mel Tillis, The Wilburn Brothers, Norma Jean, Oak Ridge Boys, Wynonna, Lonesome River Band, The Grascals, and others.
