Barbara Mandrell

Barbara Mandrell is one of the most popular legends when it comes to the country music genre. She was first noticed at the age of 11 by Chet Atkins and Joe Maphis, who were both country stars at the time. Barbara, with her dad as a mention, rose to fame as part of the Mandrell Family band and as a solo artist that produced great hits throughout the entirety of the ’70s and ’80s. She married Ken Dudney in 1967 and now has three kids with him.
