About
Born Roslyn Miriam Lopolito in 1934 and raised in Brooklyn, Mimi Roman fell for country music by catching late-night clear-channel radio broadcasts from Del Rio and Nashville. A horse-riding prize at the Madison Square Garden rodeo led to a singing spot beside Gene Autry, an audition for Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts, and eventually a Decca Records contract cut in Nashville with session players like Grady Martin and producer Owen Bradley.
Billed as the Brooklyn Cowgirl, she toured and recorded through the mid-1950s and early '60s — as Mimi Roman in country, and as Kitty Ford on the pop side — before stepping back from the industry to build a life closer to home. Decades later, her recordings found a second life among rockabilly collectors, leading to the 2022 archival releases First of the Brooklyn Cowgirls and Pussycat on Sundazed Music.
