Tanya Tucker born October 10, 1958, in Seminole Texas, had her first hit "Delta Dawn" in the year 1972 at the young age of 13,I was just a young boy myself about 11 years old when i heard her singing on the radio,Still recovering one year later from hearing "Shes A Lady" by tom jones on the radio in the summer of 1971,
As tanya tucker started scoring top ten hits on the country music charts before the age of 15,she was often seen as someone much to young to be singing mature type songs,but that didnt stop this little girl from pouring her heart into the songs she sang,after scoring on her first successful single "Delta Dawn" she scored another top ten hit with her second single in 1972 "Loves The Answer "then hit songs such "What's Your Mama's Name" and "Blood Red and Goin' Down," both recorded in 1973 and 1975's "Lizzie and the Rainman," were going strong on the radio
I have been a tanya tucker fan since my early teen years,her voice stopped me in my tracks,i kept listening to that voice as she recorded many albums through the years and aint it a "Damn Shame" age caught up with her as it does with us all,
Still in the 70s after her second single, "Love's the Answer," and her third single, "What's Your Mama's Name," which became her first number one hit in the spring of 1973, Two more number one hits "Blood Red and Goin' Down" and "Would You Lay with Me (In a Field of Stone)" followed, establishing miss Tanya Tucker as a country music star,
Tanya Tucker had a string of Top 10 country hits between 1975 and 1978, including "San Antonio Stroll", "Here's Some Love", and "It's a Cowboy-Lovin Night",In 1978 she decided to change her country music image and crossed over to rock with her TNT album,which despite the stir of controversy over the album and its sexy cover, it went gold the following year,two songs songs from the album became hits, "Texas (When I Die)" and "I'm a Singer You're the Song",Texas (When I Die)" reached No. 5 on the country music charts, and also peaking at the bottom of the pop charts,
But after the early success of hit records in the 70s,her record sales were greatly declining in the 80s and the swirling controversy seem to spell the end to her career,she had begun drinking in her late teens and was showing no signs of letting up,it was rumored by 1982 she began to lead a more secluded life,she continued to drink and use cocaine on a regular basis,during this time of drugs and alcohol she had no singles on the country music charts,
In 1986 after private counseling sessions at the betty ford center,she returned to the charts with "One Love at a Time," which climbed to number three on the country music charts,the album "Girls Like Me" charted four top 10 country singles and her career was revitalized,In 1988 she had three more #1 country singles "I Won't Take Less Than Your Love" (with Paul Davis and Paul Overstreet), "If It Don't Come Easy" and "Strong Enough to Bend,between 1988 and 1989 tanya scored on eight country top 10 hits in a row,and she wasnt done yet,
In 1988 Tucker was nominated by the Country Music Association for "Female Vocalist of the Year", Tanya Tucker was spawned one of the most successful female country music artists by the time the 80s ended and the 90s began, Sadly In 1994, "Hangin' On" was her last Top 5 hit on the country music charts,however i often wondered why a few singles from the tennessee woman album didnt chart higher,
Tanya thank you for the memories! i know it seems as though calvin has quite a few special girls like "Ana Barros", "Donna Summers", "Diana Ross",and "Linda Ronstadt" but honestly you were always very special to me and you have given me plenty of treasures to cherish,it almost seems as though we grew up togeather,it all began in the 70s when you were just a young teen girl singing country music and me (calvin) as a young teen boy listening,
Through the years i have spoken "Im A Tanya Tucker Kind Of Man" and nothings changed today!
