(AP) — Grand Ole Opry singer Connie Smith, who was transformed from an Ohio housewife to a country star in less than a year, inter rupted her career to become an outspoken born again Christian. But now she’s resumed pursuing the bright lights of the stage “It's been like two or three different lifetimes,” the 42-year-old singer said in an interview “It's been like a child growing up in a plastic bubble. I came here at age 23 but I was very immature,” she said. “I grew up here in the public exposure.” She's recording for the first time in six years, making appearances on the road and even performing where liquor is served — places where she refused to sing for 15 years because of her religious beliefs. And Smith is no longer giving public Christian testimony. during her performances — no longer wearing her religion and her sleeve like a multi-colored corsage for all to see. “['m not the same person I was,” she says. “People who haven't seen me in a while won't know me.” She was so outspoken in her public religious testimony that Grand Ole Opry officials asked her to refrain. One man at a concert got so annoyed at her testimony he yelled, “Sing the song, lady.” “My beliefs have not changed,” she said, protesting a suggestion that her faith has fallen. “My main goal is still to be a Christian and serve the Lord. I am just going about that differently.” Smith said she has dropped the religious testimony from her performances because, “I don't want people to think I tricked them into going to church.” Smith suffered a nervous collapse when she was 18. But she recovered and was soon discovered at a talent contest by singer Bill Anderson. About six months later, she found herself in Nash ville and less than a year after the talent contest she re corded Once a Day. Soon after the contest, Once a Day was a No. 1 country hit and Smith was being referred to as “the Cinderella of country music.” Her hits included The Hurtin's All Over, Ribbon Of Darkness, Where Is My Castle, Just One Time, If It Ain't Love (Let's Leave It Alone), Ain't Love a Good Thing, I Never Knew (What That Song Meant Before), Why Don't You Love Me and Just for What I Am These songs established her as a top country music star as she joined Loretta Lynn, Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton as the leaders in her field She developed a reputation as a coy loner and alienated some dise jockeys — whose support can help build a country music career.

Of Friday, the Philadelphia Daily News quoted sources from Mayor Wilson Goode's office as alleging Jackson- promoters asked for free hotel rooms and free use of John F. Kennedy stadium for an Oct. 6-8 coneert date. Similar allegations were made in Dallas. Howard Bloom, the publicist for the tour, denied those accusations. “They are not asking for those rooms for free, but just as corporations get a discount, the Jacksons are asking for a quantity discount,” he said. Bloom said ticket costs are in line with the cost of the extravagant show, which has been in production for nine months. The Jacksons’ tour has a caravan of 22 trucks carrying 375 tons of staging. lights and sound equipment, and will enploy more than 700 people. It reportedly uses a five-storey stage covering an entire football field. Alfonso Apa Ladies and Men's Wear Ltd. 1364 Bay Ave., Trail 368-5314 zt WILD TEA . .

The tour starts Friday in Kansas City, where the three concerts have been sold out and promoters say they are returning more than 65,000 unfilled orders for the 186,000 seats available. But Dallas-Fort Worth residents apparently haven't matched that interest. Postal officials said only about 11,900 nioney orders had been sold if Dallas and Fort Worth as of § day — ed in area newspapers. Orders must be mailed to New York, where a computer is to select recipients if ticket requests exceeded capacity. Monday was the deadline for enough to guarantee a sellout for only one of the three per formances in the Texas Sta. dium, which will seat 43,000 altogether for the three con certs by Michael Jackson and his brothers.
