In 1962, Howard released her debut studio album entitled Sweet and Sentimental. It was followed by the minor hit single, "I Wish I Was a Single Girl Again". Howard had her biggest success after signing with Decca Records in 1965.[1] Her 1966 single "Evil on Your Mind" became her biggest solo hit, reaching number 5 on the Billboard country chart.[3] This was followed by "Bad Seed", which reached number 10 on the same chart.[4] In September 1966, her second studio album was issued called Jan Howard Sings Evil on Your Mind. The album peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart.[5] Between 1966 and 1968, Decca released several albums and singles by Howard. This included This Is Jan Howard Country (1967), which became her highest-charting album, reaching number 9 on the country albums chart.[6] This also included the single "My Son" (1968), which was originally a letter Howard wrote to her son in the Vietnam War. The song became a top 15 hit on the Billboard country songs chart.[1]

During this time, she also collaborated with Bill Anderson on several singles and studio releases. As a duet partnership, their single, "For Loving You", became Howard's first number 1 single on the Billboard country chart.[7] Anderson and Howard also released four studio albums together between 1967 and 1972. Among their albums was Bill and Jan (Or Jan and Bill) (1972), which peaked at number 9 on the Billboard country albums chart.[8] Howard also released her final studio album with Decca in 1972 titled Love Is Like a Spinning Wheel. It reached number 40 on the country albums chart.[9] Following her departure, Howard recorded sporadically after several personal setbacks. Howard's final chart appearance came in 1978 with "To Love a Rolling Stone". Howard continued to release studio albums into the 1980s, including Tainted Love (1984).[1]
