Raised in Oklahoma, Miller was discovered by actor Dale Robertson and began her career in the early 1960s as a folk/pop singer in the Los Angeles area and appearing on Tom Paxton's television series. She released her first album on Capitol Records in 1964 and had a modest pop hit that year with "He Walks Like a Man". In 1965, she released an answer record to Roger Miller's blockbuster hit "King of the Road," titled "Queen of the House" (which became her signature hit, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at number 5 on the country singles chart).
