Like Jones, Singleton began her career at Starday Records and released her first single in 1957, "One Step (Nearer to You)". Singleton released another single in 1959 called "Eyes Of Love". The song gave Singleton her first major hit when it reached the top 20 in 1960. In 1961, she switched to Mercury Records where her husband Shelby Singleton was a producer. With his help, Singleton recorded a duet with George Jones called "Did I Ever Tell You." The song a hit for Singleton, peaking at No. 15 in 1961. The following year, the duo had equal success together with another country hit called "Waltz of the Angels".
