Connie Smith (born Constance June Meador 14 August 1941, in Elkhart, Indiana) is an American Country Music Singer, best known for her 1964 hit song "Once a Day". After her 1964 hit song, she continued to have great success on the Country music charts. She was one of the most popular female Country singers of the 1960s, along with Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette. She is often hailed by music critics as one of the finest voices in Country Music.

Connie Smith has been credited by many music critics as having one of the finest voices in Country Music. She is very much identified and compared to Patsy Cline. This is probably because, Smith only came out of the music business one year after Cline died in a plane crash in 1963 and also because she achieved the immediate success she had with her hit "Once a Day" that Cline had with her 1961 hit "I Fall to Pieces". Much of music that Smith recorded over the years, came straight from the heart, according to Smith This meant she put much emotion into her material she sang.
