Click hear to listen/watch In August I’m releasing one of my favorite Gospel songs, which is also my most played song on Spotify: “My Savior’s Precious Blood” An interesting fact about it is that my version of it was featured on a national televised Easter Show the year it was released. Hear it at youtube
May, June, 2024 – In May, a favorite Gospel song is being released: “Guide My Heart”, which has my original lyrics and music. It’s a personal fave of mine too: “Guide My Heart” Then in June, “Confusion (What’s the solution)” will be released. My lyrics (with Mia Heylen‘s help) and music, it is basically a true story song for both Mia and myself). I stayed with Mia when I toured in Europe in ’98 and the story about this is in my Memoir, An Unstoppable Survivor. Here is the video: It needs more views, so please share Confusion (What’s the Solution)
March, April, 2024 – In March, I’m releasing a brand new song titled “I Look No Further”. It has my original lyrics with music by Ray Lani, who also plays guitar, bass & drums on the recording. Vocals produced by Brian Bennett and Piano and strings are played by my first FL producer, Marc Rabins, who produced and is playing keyboards on my April release, “When I’m Chasing A Dream”, (included on Chasing A Dream & Best of Judy Welden CDs) which he produced.

In, February, 2024 – In January I’ll be releasing: Macho Man (With a Marshmallow Heart) and in February: Your Handprint on My Heart.
“Macho Man”, co-written with Jimmy Godfrey, is a fan, catchy tune. Watch it on you tube. Click here to listen.
I’m releasing “Your Handprint on my Heart” for Feb. radio release as it is so suitable for Valentine’s Day. You may recall it was to be nominated for a Grammy by Phil York (3-time Grammy winning producer) the first year it was released. Phil had mastered it but sadly had passed on before he’d sent it to the Grammy team.
It is a very special song, especially for Valentine’s Day.
November/December, 2023 – “I’m Pain Shy” (Nov), co-written with Marc Rabins & “This Christmas (Spread His Love Around the World)” co-written with Rhonnie Scheuerman (Dec) are late being released as singles due to many things going on at this time. Firstly, I’m getting ready to record the last song I wrote. I’d not had a local producer for several years. Finally I learned of a mobile service and will be recording “Look No Further” Nov. 21st. This song has my lyrics and music by Ray Lani, who plays guitar on the tracks. Marc Rabins is adding keyboards to the track and mastering it. It will be released in January 2024. Speaking of 2024, I’ll just be releasing
songs every other month, two at a time…since I have so many songs.
See video of I’m Pain Shy and video of This Christmas
October, 2023 – “You Are There For Me”, co-written with Roy Crab, (who composed the music), Judy Welden wrote the lyrics after a sad experience that had devastated her. Sung with much emotion, the song has always touched audiences, both on radio releases and when sung live. It stayed at #1 on Roots Gospel Chart for nearly 5 months, an unheard of fete! Hear it at
youtube. Share with those you care about. “You are There for Me” is the first song on both FOREVER GRATEFUL & JUDY WELDEN GOSPEL CDs.
September, 2023 – “If You’re Man Enough” written solely by Judy Welden, is the radio single release this month. It was on Judy’s first
album, SHADES OF BLUE, as well as BEST OF JUDY WELDEN, released
in May 2018. Judy wrote the tune to be a slow, bluesy song; however the late producer Gary Buck, thought her first project needed more uptempo, so changed the rhythm! This is a fave of many fans, You can hear/watch the video here. Hope you enjoy it!
August, 2023 – “It’s a Miracle” (co-written with Roy Crab) is the radio single release this month. There are miracles happening around us
every day; we just need to watch and listen. “It’s A Miracle” was first released on Judy’s FOREVER GRATEFUL Gospel CD, and more recently included on her JUDY WELDEN GOSPEL CD, released in July, 2018.

April & May 2023 – The April single release is “Love Conquers All” and for May I’m releasing “My Savior’s Precious Blood”. However the latter is so
appropriate for Easter, I’m sending it to DJs today with “Love Conquers All”. Here is where you can watch videos on youtube: “Love Conquers All”
(special video has so few views, needs more!) and “My Savior’s Precious Blood” . which was featured on a TV cable Easter Special in New England the year it was first released. It is also my most played song on Spotify!
March, 2023 – This month my radio single is “Church Called the Risen Son”, written in 1999, because when I’d traveled in Europe the previous
year I was constantly asked to sing “House of the Rising Sun”...and new
words were forming in my mind to make it a Gospel song. I wrote & recorded it and it soon became another of my #1 songs. Here is the youtube video of it:http://”Church Called the Risen Son” . MP3 of song is being sent to radio stations this month. Hope y’all have a Happy St. Patty’s Day…and a wonderful spring!
February, 2023 – I’m releasing “Your Handprint on my Heart” for Feb. radio release as it is so suitable for Valentine’s Day.

November, December, 2022 – Single radio releases for these months are as follows: “Grandma’s Quilts” (November) and “Waitin’ For You ‘Neath the Christmas Tree” & “What I Want for Christmas” (December). Although “Grandma’s Quilts” was not included on “20 Favorites” secular CD released in 2018, it should have been… as it’s a true story song about my family. Listen to it on youtube, and read what it says there about the video. My friend Ursula made this video,stating it was from my (then) baby grandaughter, Kayla… and sent it to me on Mother’s Day (2019). Kayla, Me, my daughter, Amy & daughter-in-law, Kevin (Kayla’s Mom) all appear in the video. “Waitin’ For You ‘Neath the Christmas Tree” was written for my
granddaughter, Angie (of 2012 Am. Idol fame) to record..but she was working on a cruise ship. So I recorded it as she requested.(click on song title to listen). Lastly, listen to “What I Want for Christmas”, (on youtube)
the other Christmas song, which was on GRACE CD.

It is loved by many folks and was included as part of an Easter special on national TV when first released in the mid 90’s. There are many versions of this special song on youtube, but few sung with the raw delivery of this one! Listen to: “My Savior’s Precious Blood”. Or watch a version with special effects: Video by Ulla Kline
July, 2022 – single radio release for July is: This is America, written by Alan Licht, who won a song contest Judy Welden’s company sponsored in the mid 90’s. Judy published & recorded it. There is not a video of this song, so we are having another song this month, “One Nation”, also suitable for the 4th of July. America is the only country to celebrate this holiday; however everyone can relate to the message of peace in “One Nation” …and it’s refrain “Under God”. It’s video on youtube has very few views, so hopefully you’ll want to change that by giving it a listen! http://One Nation – Judy Welden/Phil Coley duet
June, 2022 – single radio release for June is: “Come On Home (My Soul’s a ‘Dyin)”. This song was on charts with major artists when I traveled in
Europe in ’98! Being that it is the favorite of my late brother, nephew and many of my friends, I thought I should release it again. Here is the video link of this special song. Lyrics are included, so you can sing along!
Com On Home (My Soul’s a Dyin’)
May, 2022 – This month “Fishin’ For a New Love” is my single radio release. Tom Littleby wrote music to my lyrics on this one. In 1999 this song was “Song of the Year” by ICMA Germany and was on 3 of my CDs, Woman of the 90’s, JW Country Hits (’92-’98), and Best of Judy Welden (2018). I hope you will enjoy the video of this catchy song. “Fishin’ For a New Love” Also in my news this month is that I will be included again in the 2022-2023 edition of Marquis Who’s Who.
April, 2022 – single radio release is Guide My Heart, written solely by me; however producer Kevin Wicker enhanced the chorus melody. Here’s the youtube video for this song. It was first on my Forever Grateful CD, then more recently on my 25th Anniversary CD – Judy Welden Gospel. I’m a bit late with my news as daughter Amy (from FL) was here for my April 1st birthday and stayed for the weekend. We had a great time, going out to eat, hearing music, watching movies, etc. It was a great time, especially after a
stressful month of having lost my 25 year-old email account, which ATT
finally was able to retrieve on March 31st! I’m so thankful spring is here!!
In March, 2022, When I’m Chasing A Dream, written solely by me, will be released to DJs for airplay. You can watch a video of this special song here. Actually there isn’t a video per se as this song was placed on youtube by CD Baby; however you can hear the music and see the CHASING A DREAM CD jacket, on which it was the first song (title cut). As many of my songs are, this one is a true story song & was one of my #1 songs when it was released. I sincerely hope DJs will share this special song with their listeners this month as it has a catchy tune and listeners will want to sing along. Please note that I now have a new email address, which is: authorjudywelden@att.net.
In February, 2022, Your Hand Print on My Heart (My Music & lyrics co-written with the late Rhonnie Scheuerman), will be released to DJs for airplay. You can watch a video of this catchy song, here: Or a more recent one with fewer views here. It was 10 years ago when I first released this song for Valentine’s Day. It is very appropriate as it starts out “You will always be my Valentine”. You may recall 3-time winning Producer, Phil York had mastered it and was to send it to the Grammy team, but had passed on before he’s sent it. It was later played on I Heart Radio as I was being interviewed on Women’s Radio Network. I sincerely hope DJs will share this special song with their listeners this month.
In 2022, Judy Welden is again releasing a song each month for radio stations worldwide. One month a secular song, next month a Gospel song.

August, 2021 – My radio single release for August is “Don’t Say You Love Me” (my lyrics – music by Michael Ries). This was one of my late brother’s (DJ John Ernst) favorite songs I wrote. The only reason it’s not on “Best of Judy Welden” Anniversary CD (2018) was because it was slated to be recorded by a popular singer from the Netherlands that year. See the video made by Ulla Kellar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ovB3tdaJ34 I was very fortunate to sell (on eBay) my popular CD (released 1998) “Judy Welden’s Country Hits” to a buyer who wrote a fantastic review of it on Amazon: 5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable Chanteuse! Reminiscent of Patsy Cline & Ella Fitzgerald Reviewed in the US by Michelle D. on July 26, 2021
Judy, you have a BEAUTIFUL voice! I was surprised actually because nobody sings like that these days..not even country singers. You’ve got that style that, to me, harkens back to Patsy Cline and Ella Fitzgerald. Women who were melodious, not screamers. I absolutely LOVE it! Your music was wonderfully healing to me as it helped me relax and feel happier during a prolonged illness. Being able to discern the lyrics I could start humming along which I love to do and what lyrics! You’re incredibly talented, my dear. Thank you so much. I’m thrilled to have discovered you. Now I need to purchase your autobiography, “An Unstoppable Survivor.” It’s got to be an amazing story! Judy, thanks a million. And God Bless!
This surely is the best review I’ve ever had for any of my CDs…I’m so
grateful to Michelle. She also purchased my Memoir!
July, 2021 – My radio single release for July is “One Nation”, which is suitable for 4th of July airplay. It’s a duet with Phil Coley, who also
co-wrote the song, produced it and made the tracks. Ulla K made a video with special effects for it. Watch video on youtube, for One Nation.
As I wrote before I now have a web page for my published Memoir, “An Unstoppable Survivor”, which I hope you’ll check out (near end of page is incredible review by Ray Lani). Website link (for Judy’s Memoir)

June, 2021 – My radio single release for June is “What Happens Now”, which I solely wrote in the 90’s with Crystal Gayle in mind. I chose to record it when she didn’t. Hear “What Happens now” on youtube
I sang in a higher key back in those days. My harmony in the song is my
natural key now.
May, 2021 – My radio single release for May is “My Precious Lord”, written by Sandra Stoflet. Ursula Kiel made a special video for this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsNd5HKCl2A

April, 2021 – My radio single release for April is “Love is Like”, which I
solely wrote. Watch the cool video “Love is Like” (with special effects) by
Ulla Keller. This song has been released as a single to radio on various comp. CDs, and was finally on one of my albums when it was included on Best of Judy Welden, released in May 2018. Tracks by Rick Taylor, aka Ricky Nicewonder, it is a heartfelt love song which compares love to many lovely things with refreshing imagery. I wish I could let you know more about my
Memoir, but it is still in the publishing process. Hopefully it will be out by
the end of the month, but I can’t say for sure.
March, 2021 – My radio single release for “March is Mixture of Mary and Martha”, co-written with the late Rhonnie Scheuerman. I went to youtube to find a video for it, but there are only those put there by CD Baby, with the picture of the CD on which it was included (GRACE & JUDY WELDEN GOSPEL) Both have so few views, I’m not going to add the link here. I have
sad news today. I learned that I can’t use the title I chose for my Memoir.
The publisher found out that Dolly Parton’s name is copyrighted. I wish they would have checked that out before they accepted my book for publication.
My late husband always called me a “survivor”, so I’ve come up with a new title “Unstoppable Survivor“, but the book will be coming out later than I’d planned, probably late April or early May. I’m frustrated over this, but it’s not the end of the world…. I’ll survive! The name is appropriate, because not only am I a survivor, but I never let anything stand in my way, being a “do or die” type person, who won’t stop or give up until a problem or task is fixed, and completed!
February, 2021 – Just as I’ve done for the past years, Your Handprint on My Heart, is the radio single release as it appropriately starts out “You will always be my valentine”. I’ve been feveriously writing my Memoir, “Hello Dolly Parton – Our Similarities are Showing”, and it is finally finished; however I still neeed to include 100 of my lyrics and add pictures. Due to this reason, it will not be for sale at Amazon and other places that sell books until March or later. I’ll advise when it is ready.
View Your Hand Print on my Heart
2021 is here – Let’s hope it is better than 2020! I’m busy finishing writing my Memoir. Hope to publish it in mid March. It will include 100+ of my original lyrics. I’m starting out the year with an up-tempo song, “I’m Hittin’ the Road” This was my second #1 song back when it was first released. It has an interesting story behind it, which I tell in my Memoir. A recent widow, I’d met this rich guy, who just wanted to rent movies, make popcorn, serve me wine, etc. Never wanted to take me out, so one night I arrived at his door and it appeared it was another night in, so I said “you know what I’m hittin the road!” I later learned he had a steady girlfriend, who was often out of town, and didn’t want to be seen with another woman, in case one of her friends saw us together. Hear the video: I’m Hittin the Road
Update: I’ve just sent out my Christmas Greetings newsletter and the most exciting news is that I’m soon publishing my Memoir! You may know I’ve been planning on writing about my life for over 10 years. Last November, then again this January, we saw shows about Dolly Parton’s life. Near the end of the first one, during a commercial, Bill looked at me and said “Her life was a lot like yours with all those music awards”. “Oh, but in a much grander way”, I told him. “She was on major labels which meant her awards were more significant than mine”, I added. It’s true though that we both have the title of International Superstar Songwriter as well as Loretta Lynn and others. At one time I planned on titling my book “My Life in Songs”, but I’ve since come up with “Hello Dolly Parton – Our Similarities are Showing” – Under that it will say “Memoir of singer-songwriter Judy Welden” 3rd Line will read “ Includes Pictures, Discography & 100+ Original songs”. I’m hoping to have it completed in March. I plan to have both soft cover and also a kindle version. Perhaps audio as well. Everything in my life is included, not just my career! Let me know if you are interested in buying a copy. Email: judy@judywelden.com
November – December, 2020, Two songs are being released on Nov. 1st.
DJs need holiday songs early so I’m sending a Christmas song along with
“I’m Pain Shy”, my Nov. radsio single release. “I’m Pain Shy“, recorded in
Nashville by all the top musicians, was included on my very first album. It was of my many number one songs on an Indie Chart. Several videos were made of it, but I’m including here the first one which is me performing it live at an art gallery in Stuart, FL Watch video of “I’m Pain Shy”
Writer: Judy Welden – Publisher, Songrite Creations Productions
The Christmas song for December is “Waiting for you ‘Neath the Christmas Tree”. I’d hoped my granddaughter, Angie Z., of America’s Got Talent Fame, would record it, but she was performing on a cruise ship at the time, so I had to do the honors. It really needed a young person to perform it, I thought, but Angie insisted ” Judygrams… you still sound young!”. Watch “Waiting for you ‘neath the Christmas Tree” (video by Tonya Williams). Writers: Judy Welden & Phil Coley – Publishing by Songrite Creations Productions. Wishing you all a great Thanksgiving and Christmas!
October, 2020, “Let’s Make America Great Again” (Written by myself and Rhonnie Scheuerman) is my radio single for October. It was written and first released in 2011, five years before it was the campaign slogan for the 2016 presidential election. It occured to me that if Rhonnie (who passed on this past July, were still here, she’d want it released again because of the current election. Frans Maritz made a video of it when released. You can see it on youtube: Let’s Make America Great Again – Judy Welden
Another video version also is there by Tonya Williams: Judy Welden – Let’s Make America Great Again Please check out one or both!
September, 2020, “It’s A Miracle” (my lyrics, music by Roy Crabb) is my radio single release. It was included on Forever Grateful CD in the 90’s and more recently (2018) on Judy Welden Gospel (25th Anniversary) 20 Spongs of Faith CD. There is a video of this special song on youtube.
Posted there last year, it has so few views, I’m hoping you will check it out.
It’s a positive song, which will touch your (and listeners) heart, especially
during the troubled times we are all in at this time! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=REtvXXhHHKo
August, 2020, “SOUL SISTERS” (solely written by Judy Welden) is this month’s radio single release.(it’s for Rhonnie Scheuerman, who passed on July 17, 2020). Ever since we met in the mid 90’s, we always considered ourselves “sisters” as we had so much in common, not just songwriting. Rhon also promoted me with her Promotions Company after I moved to Georgia in 2002. She submitted me, thus helping me get inducted in International Songwriter’s Hall of Fame (Whis News 21) in 2013 and also Atlanta Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014. I hope you will click here to read a special story about Rhonnie, written by myself & Frans Maritz and published on Whis News 21 website as well as mine here!
July 2020, “Daddy’s Army Whistle” is radio single release. It was included
on Judy Welden Country Hits 1992-1998 when it was first released.
One Nation was supposed to be the single this month because of Independance Day however due to illness, I didn’t get it out in time. I’ve made a change due to the 40 year anniversary of the death of my late husband, Dick Atwell, who drowned in Colorado on July 9th. “Daddy’s Army Whistle” is a true story song , except it is not about my daddy, but instead, my late husband, Dick, (my children’s daddy)and his actual army whistle was used in the recording of the song! It really should have been
on my last CD since DJs loved it back when it was first released. I had chosen 20 songs that were either #1 or in the top 10 of Independent charts for that CD & I regret now it wasn’t included. I solely wrote it and Mike Headrick made the music tracks. You can hear it at youtube.com
Click to hear Daddy’s Army Whistle CD Baby posted it with no promoting so not that many views yet! Hope you’ll check it out!
New last month: My clever Florida friend, Chatlotte, (with whom I was in a band 30 years ago) came up with the idea that my patented bandana hats could be used as a mask! I was so impressed that she thought of this for the single-sided hats, with no visor. You can see her, me, another friend & Bill wearing these hats as a mask below and on the Bandana Hat link.

When searching for this video, found one by Judy Garland from 1964 titled “Anyplace I Hang my Hat is Home”. The genre is jazzy pop and Bill thought my version was much better. Wonder if my dear daddy would have agreed. He named me after Judy Garland!
