"I'm Not Lisa" is the most successful song by American country music artist Jessi Colter. It was released on January 16, 1975, as the lead single from her album I'm Jessi Colter. The song hit number 1 on the country charts in the US and Canada, and it crossed over to number 4 on the Billboard pop chart. The plaintive love song was Colter's first major hit as a solo artist, following more than ten years of country music performances.[1] The song is Colter's only foray into the pop Top 40, technically giving her a one-hit wonder status despite her multiple country chart hits.[2]
Following this, Colter sang outlaw country duets with her husband Waylon Jennings on the compilation album Wanted! The Outlaws, and she continued her solo career with the album Jessi, both released in January 1976.[2]
