The single would become her biggest hit in her career and prompted Lane to record a series of albums tailored to the Christian market in the 1980s. In 1979, Lane signed with United Artists Records, where she would record "One Day at a Time". It was followed by a series of top ten hits over the next several years. In 1977, she had her first major hit with "Let Me Down Easy". The company began releasing Cristy Lane singles in the mid 1970s. Facing rejection from every major record company, Stoller decided to form his own label, which he named LS Records. The family moved to Nashville, Tennessee in the early 1970s to restart Lane's country singing career. Traumatized by the experience, Lane considered nearly ending her career but ultimately decided to continue. In 1969, Lane and Stoller traveled the far east where she performed over 100 shows for American soldiers fighting in the Vietnam War. Lane recorded for a series of small labels during the decade with no success.
Stoller soon became her full-time manager and by 1966 she released her first single on a small independent record label. One day, Stoller overheard his wife singing at home and got the idea that she could become a successful country music vocalist.
She raised three children while Stoller worked a sales job in the Peoria area. Lane was raised in Peoria, Illinois and married Lee Stoller at age 19. The latter recording inspired a book of the same name, which was sold on cable television and brought renewed interest to Lane's career. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, she had a series of hits on the North American country charts with songs like " Let Me Down Easy", " I Just Can't Stay Married to You" and the number one hit " One Day at a Time". Cristy Lane (born Eleanor Johnston January 8, 1940) is an American Christian and country music singer.
