Holly
Dunn, a country singer who wrote the hit “Daddy’s Hands” as a Father’s
Day gift for her preacher father and whose song “Maybe I Mean Yes”
provoked a national conversation about date rape, died on Monday in
Albuquerque. She was 59.
The cause was ovarian cancer, said her nephew, Daniel Dunn, the mayor of Temple, Tex.
Ms. Dunn’s wistful “Daddy’s Hands” won two Grammy nominations (best female country vocal performance and best country song) in 1987, and her “Are You Ever Gonna Love Me” and “You Really Had Me Going” (both written with her brother Chris Waters Dunn and Tom Shapiro) reached No. 1 on the country charts, in 1989 and 1990.
