Another Norma Jean, also known as Pretty Miss Norma Jean (b. Norma Jean Beasler January 30, 1938) is an American country music singer. She is best known for her spot on The Porter Wagoner Show from 1961 to 1967 before her replacement by Dolly Parton. Norma Jean, however, was a country singer in her own right, having a handful of country singles that hit the Top 10 and Top 20 between 1963 and 1966, including "Let's Go All the Way" and "The Game of Triangles". She proved instrumental and important in opening doors for other female country singers. Although she didn't have the songwriting prowess of Dolly Parton, her voice was warm, and her records are still easy to listen to.
