Personally I feel that “Standing In Your Line” , “Mississippi” and “Cheating Is” were her three best numbers but she got lost at Columbia/Epic behind stronger female singers and an unbelievably good roster of male singers.

Her career on the charts is virtually identical to that of Gary Stewart – they each charted exactly 30 times, with three top tens (consecutive) and two that went to #1 on at east one national chart . Steward had six other top 20s whereas Fairchild had only two more top twentys so he pulls slightly ahead of her – each had a chart span of about 16 years. Even the biggest Barbara Fairchild fan wouldn’t have her any higher than this – and I’d never rate her ahead of Jeannie Kendall or Allison Moorer
