American songwriter, country and gospel singer. Born in 1941 in Muscle Shoals (Alabama), Sue Richards began singing Gospel music with her family at the age of 4, then released her first record on the Sun label at the age of 11, recording under her maiden name Maggie Sue Wimberly. The record "How Long" was backed with "Daydreams Come True" and was produced by Sam Phillips. She was the third female act on Phillips label and although the songs were rockabilly in style remain closest to pure country among Phillips acts. She recorded "Too Many Daddys" for Epic Records in 1969, and released "I Just Had You On My Mind" on ABC-Dot in 1973. Her biggest hit "Sweet Sensuous Feelings" on ABC-Dot hit the charts in 1976. The song was written by Ava and Roy Aldridge. Richards toured as a background vocalist with Tammy Wynette from 1977 until Wynette's death in 1998. As a songwriter, Richards wrote "Let's All Go Down to the River", written with Earl "Peanutt" Montgomery, "I Just Had You On My Mind", "Somebody Hold Me (Until She Passes By)", written with Ava and Roy Aldridge, "Ease Me To The Ground", "Please Tell Him That I Said Hello", "He Was There When I Needed You" and "Imaginary Arms". <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Maggie+Sue+Wimberly">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
