Lisa Hartman (born June 1, 1956 in Houston, Texas) is an American actress and singer. After some minor television appearances, Lisa Hartman starred in the short-lived Bewitched spin-off, Tabitha during 1977-78. She subsequently appeared frequently on television in guest roles, and appeared in the 1981 CBS TV remake of Jacqueline Susann‘s Valley of the Dolls, as Neely O’Hara. She then played a major role in the primetime soap Knots Landing, as rock singer Ciji Dunne, during 1982 and 1983. When her television character was murdered, reaction from fans prompted the producers to create a new “look-alike” character for Hartman. She remained with the show until 1986. She then continued to appear in television guest roles, and played the lead in the feature film Where the Boys Are ’84. In 1991, she married country music superstar Clint Black, with whom she has a daughter, Lily Pearl Black, born in 2001.

Her most notable song is If Love Must Go, which she performed on various television shows like Solid Gold and Merv Griffin. Despite additional contributions from successful songwriters and producers the albums were not commercially successful. She achieved her most notable success with a duet with her husband entitled “When I Said I Do”. It reached number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts on December 18, 1999 and was nominated for a Grammy Award. The duet was ranked #11 on CMT’s 100 Greatest Duets in Country Music in 2005. They recorded a second duet titled “Easy For Me to Say”, which peaked at #27 on the country music charts in 2002. In summer of 1994, Hartman Black co-hosted Universal Studios Summer Blast, a TV special celebrating the 30th anniversary of Universal Studios.
