“Somebody’s Knockin’” earned Terri Gibbs a Grammy nomination for Best Country Song, and the accompanying album, Somebody’s Knockin’ won the Academy of Country Music Award for Best New Country Artist and the inaugural Horizon Award (for an artist gaining new recognition) from the Country Music Association Awards. Terri Gibbs toured with George Jones and sang duets with him; she also performed at The Grand Ole Opry.
I have Terri Gibbs’ first album, Somebody’s Knockin’ – rated 4 stars by Allmusic – and every song is rendered well in her understated but expressive voice. Her follow-up single “Rich Man” made the Country Top 20, as did two later singles. Her 1987 album, Turn Around was also nominated for a Grammy and generated three hit singles on the CCM charts.
