Dale & Grace
(Dale Houston & Grace Broussard)
Dale & Grace cracked the Top 40 twice in the 1960s. The two Southerners took one of their songs all the way to number one not long after they met. Grace Broussard was born in 1939 in Prairieville, Louisiana, and Dale Houston the following year in Seminary, Mississippi-his family, eventually settling in Baton Rouge. Dale and Grace worked together for the first time in 1963. On their very first recording session together, they recorded "I'm Leaving It Up To You." and has been a favorite of male-female duos ever since, including Sonny & Cher and Donny & Marie Osmond.
