Minnie Pearl was nominated to the Country Music Hall of Fame fourteen times before she was finally inducted in 1975. The long wait for the industryÕs highest honor was no doubt related to the fact that Minnie Pearl has done little real singing over the years; only once, in 1966, did she place a song, ÒThe Answer to Giddyup Go,Ó on the country charts. Her inclusion in the Country Music Hall of FameÑand a subsequent Pioneer Award from the Academy of Country MusicÑreflect the fact that Minnie PearlÕs brand of hayseed comedy is an art form with a tradition as honorable as any musical one.
