Barbara Mandrell (b. Barbara Ann Mandrell December 25, 1948) is an American Country Music Singer. She is best known for Country-Pop crossover hits of the 1970s and '80s. She was given the nickname The Princess of Steel, for her ability at the steel guitar.
Barbara Mandrell was one of Country Music's most successful artists during the 1970s and '80s. Like many of her contemporaries at the time, she sang crossover Country material, that either was well-liked or highly criticized. Her biggest hits include "Sleeping Single In a Double Bed", "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right", "Years", and "Crackers".
NASHVILLE, TENN. – October 12, 2006 – When Barbara Mandrell took the stage for her final musical performance on October 23, 1997, she probably didn’t realize that less than a decade later, some of the artists she influenced would come together for a tribute in her honor. But that’s exactly what is happening, and the result will be a collection of songs from one of the most significant performers of the 1970s, ‘80s and ‘90s. She Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool: A Tribute To Barbara Mandrell will be released October 17 on BNA Records.
