'Queen Of Country Music' Dead At 92

From Loretta Lynn to Taylor Swift, they all owe a lot to this woman.

They called her the "Queen of Country Music."

But now the great Kitty Wells, the first woman to reach No. 1 on the country music charts, has died.

Wells was the original -- a pioneer for women in country music. She opened the door for so many others.

Wells, who led the great shift that recognized women’s voices in music, was 92.

One of her huge hits was "Honky Talk Angels."
