As a teenager, she married Mickey Riley and gave birth to a daughter, Kim Michelle Riley on January 11, 1966. Later, they moved to Nashville, Tennessee after receiving a letter from Weldon Myrick, who heard a demo tape of Jeannies and believed she could be successful. In Nashville, Riley worked as a secretary for Passkey Music while recording demos on the side. Rileys career was stagnant until former Mercury Records producer Shelby Singleton received a demo tape of Rileys voice. Singleton was starting and succeeding with his own label, Plantation Records, at the time. He worked with Riley in the recording of the Tom T. Hall demo song that Singleton saw potential in, Harper Valley PTA. The record quickly became one of the best-known country music songs of all time.
