Zella Lehr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zella Lehr is a singer and entertainer.
She had hit records on RCA and Columbia, most notably Two Doors Down, a song written by Dolly Parton. She had been on the Billboard Country charts for 18 weeks and in 1980 was nominated by the Academy of Country Music and Cashbox Magazine for the "Most Promising Female Vocalist" award.
Zella has spent her life on stage, making her debut at the age of seven along with her Mom, Dad and two brothers performing as "The Lehr Family". She made guest appearances on the Merv Griffin Show and The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson before becoming a regular on the CBS television show Hee Haw as the "unicycle girl". A TV Guide article of her exploits led to her first Las Vegas showroom engagement, which in turn resulted in appearances with Wayne Newton, Sammy Davis Jr., Glen Campbell, and the Statler Brothers. After relocating to Reno, Nevada she was named Northern Nevada's Entertainer of the Year for seven years in a row. She now lives in South Florida, where she continues to sing and entertain.
