Lynn Anderson, whose mellifluous and husky voice carried her to the top of the charts with (I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden, has died. She was 67.

A statement from the family said she died at Vanderbilt Medical Center in Nashville, Tennessee, on Thursday. Her publicist said the cause of death was cardiac arrest.

Anderson first experienced the national spotlight as a young singer on The Lawrence Welk Show between 1967 and 1969. Although she was signed to an independent label, the exposure helped her attain a deal with Columbia Records in Nashville.

It was Rose Garden that sealed her country music legacy, earning her a Grammy and Country Music Association’s female vocalist of the year award in 1971.
