"First off, I’m blown away to get the sudden news today. It was very awakening to say the least. I was a huge K.T. Oslin fan and just recorded one of her songs on my last album with Pam Tillis. She was a big inspiration to me and her writing about the strength of women. I also know she had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. She was a great lady from a great time of great music. One who will truly be missed by me and many fans."

"I nearly ran off the road when 'Don’t kiss like we’re married, kiss me like we’re lovers' came across my car radio back in 1980 somethin' or other. I nearly fell out of my rockin’ chair just this minute when I listened to it again. What a song!! What a singer!! What a songcraftswoman!! What a woman... PERIOD!! Rest in Peace, Lady K. T. Why don’t you go look up my old friend Roy Orbison and y’all write and sing a duet up there. I always thought you were a female Roy Orbison... or maybe Roy was a male K.T. Oslin. I miss both of you."
-Larry Gatlin (Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame member)

“K.T. Oslin was one of my music heroes because she never gave up on her dream. She signed with a major label in her 40's and had her first #1 record at the age of 45. I am ashamed to say. that in our youth-driven climate, that often listens with its eyes and not its ears, she would be a rarity today. She was an 80's lady with "balls," and I loved the passionate way she approached every song she sang. I often sing her song "Do Ya" in my roadshow--and I try to bring the same sass and class to the song as she did.” - Tim Atwood

Rest In Peace K.T. and for sharing your life with us all." - Carl Ray
