When was reba mcentire born

You try to outsmart them, you try to outwork them and get there first. You help out, you volunteer, you're at the front of the line. That's what I learned from working on the cattle range, and it helped me in the music business. Though Whoever's in New England was McEntire's ninth studio album, it was her first to garner a Grammy Award best female country vocal performance, for the album's first-released single, "Whoever's in New England".

By all accounts, the success of Whoever's in New England was a product of its unique sound. A blend of McEntire's more traditional twangy style with a more mainstream pop sound appealed to a wide audience, cementing the artist's place as country royalty for years to come. Always a strong businesswoman, the singer understood early on the importance music videos would have for her career.

Her first video, for the single "Whoever's in New England" , artfully told the story of a suburban housewife tortured by the idea of her philandering husband and his trips up north to visit a mistress. Employing well-known actors and directors, the singer took full advantage of this visual medium to showcase the strong narratives of her songwriting, using videos to tell full and compelling stories.

In the future, her penchant for drama would not only drive record sales, it would fuel an unexpected acting career. Additionally, the singer was named best female vocalist by the CMA for four consecutive years, from to ' The momentum didn't stop there.

McEntire went on to churn out hit after hit, some more critically acclaimed than others, but most selling by the millions. In , she released Rumor Has It , an album that eventually sold three million copies, going triple platinum by On March 16, , tragedy struck when a charter plane carrying eight members of McEntire's band crashed. There were no survivors, and the accident left the singer stunned and reeling. No, I don't think so. Just what you see is what you get on me.

And it's never been anything of a sexual nature. To succeed in life, you need three things: a wishbone, a backbone and a funny bone.

For me, singing sad songs often has a way of healing a situation. It gets the hurt out in the open into the light, out of the darkness. Finding a good bus driver can be as important as finding a good musician. Dolly paved such a great freeway for women. So did Loretta, Tammy and Barbara Mandrell. I've got to keep pavin' that freeway for the gals in country music. Maybe it gives them some ammunition, incentive, inspiration to continue on.

Music is very, very strong. It heals. It talks to you like nobody else can talk to you. Thank God the record label kept me on.
