Reba McEntire (born March 28, 1955) is one of the best-selling country music performers of the last half of the 20th century, best known for pop ballads that include eighteen American #1 hits.
Born in Chockie, Oklahoma[?], McEntire grew up learning to ride in rodeos as well as play music.
With a contract to Mercury Records[?], McEntire began her professional career with a hard honky tonk sound, which didn't go over well at a time when country music was dominated by outlaw country[?] artists like Willie Nelson and David Allan Coe.
Reba Nell McEntire was born March 28, 1955 in Chockie, Oklahoma.
One of four children, McEntire's family owned a 7,000-acre ranch and participated in rodeos, a background which later inspired the song "Daddy." She sang with her sister Susie and brother Pake McEntire as the Singing McEntires, and in 1972, they recorded for the small Boss label.
In 1974, she was asked to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at the National Rodeo Finals in Oklahoma City.
