NEW YORK (AP) — Jeannie Seely, the soulful country music singer behind such standards like “Don’t Touch Me,” has died. She was 85. Her publicist, Don Murry Grubbs, said she died Friday after succumbing to complications from an intestinal infection.

Jeannie Seely, a Grammy-winning country music icon, passed away at 85 in Nashville after a brief illness. Known as "Miss Country Soul," Seely was a trailblazer in country music, becoming the first Pennsylvania native inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and performing there over 5,000 times.
