Barbara Mandrell returns
to TSU for Feb. 13 show
Barbara Mandrell
Barbara Mandrell, the 1979
Academy of Country Music
female vocalist of the year, will
return to the TSU campus Feb.
13 for a show in Wisdom Gym.
Ms. Mandrell and her band,
the Do-Rites, played to a
near-capacity crowd at TSU in
1977.
Since her appearance at TSU
the diminuitive blonde beauty
has not only been recognized as
the top female vocalist in the
nation by the Academy of
Country Music, but she also won
the same honor in the 1979
Music City News Cover Awards.
She has been one of the five
finalists for the Country Music
Association's female vocalist of
the year four times.
Ms. Mandrell is a native of
Houston and grew up in music.
At an early age, she joined her
mother, father, and two sisters
in a musical group that played
extensively in California where
the family moved about the time
Barbara entered public school.
Her father, Irby, later formed
the Mandrells, with college
student Ken Dudney, now
Barbara's husband, on drums,
and toured military bases in
Europe and Asia.
In 1968, the Mandrell family
moved to Nashville and four
months later Barbara signed a
recording contract. Her first hit
"Standing' Room Only"
propelled the personable singer
to the top of the charts, and an
impressive string of top ten
singles and seven albums
followed.
Her voice and style have not
only made Barbara the top
female vocalist in the nation in
country music, but have enabled
the talented artist to cross over
into the pop field.
Her hit records verify her
versatility. "Woman To Woman"
was o,ne of the top
country-western records in the
nation and crossed into pop.
''Sleeping Single In A Double
Bed" is the only single in recent
years to rank at the top for three
weeks in all three national music
trades, country, pop, and
rhythm and blues.
The Feb. 13 show will start at
8 p.m. TSU students with SAF
cards will be admitted free.
Admission for others will be $5.
Tickets are on sale, at the
Chamber of Commerce and the
TSU business office.
