Her husband, Wade Cummins, confirmed the news to TMZ, revealing that Posey had been battling dementia for the past seven years.

According to Cummins, Posey's health had slowly declined over the years, but she had otherwise been in good health.

The song sold over one million copies and earned Posey two Grammy Award nominations.

Throughout her career, Posey continued to release hits like "I Take It Back," "Bring Him Safely Home to Me," and "What a Woman in Love Won't Do."
