Reba Nell McEntire (born on March 28, 1955, in McAlester, Oklahoma) is one of the best-selling country music performers of all time, known for her pop tinged ballads that include 22 #1 hit's, she has issued no less than 29 albums, with more than 45 million records sold to date.

McEntire grew up learning to ride in rodeos as well as play music. She soon formed a band with her sisters, Alice and Susie, and her brother, Pake, known as "The Signing McEntires," and the quartet had a local hit with "The Ballad of John McEntire", a tribute to their grandfather. After singing the "Star Spangled Banner" at the National Rodeo Finals in Oklahoma City in 1974, Red Steagall suggested that McEntire go to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue a solo career.
