Barbara Mandrell

Barbara Ann Mandrell (born December 25, 1948) is an American country music singer, musician, and actress. She is known for a series of Top 10 hits and TV shows in the 1970s and 1980s that helped her become one of country's most successful female vocalists of that period. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009.

She was the first performer to win the Country Music Association's "Entertainer of the Year" award twice. She was the only female to have done so until Taylor Swift equaled her. She also won twice the Country Music Association's "Female Vocalist of the Year" in 1979 and 1981.

Mandrell's first Billboard No. 1 hit was 1978's "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed", immediately followed by "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right" in early 1979. In 1980, "Years" also reached No. 1. She added one more chart topper in each of the next three years. "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" (her signature song), then "'Till You're Gone" and "One of a Kind, Pair of Fools"—all hit number one between 1981 and 1983, a period during which Mandrell also received numerous industry awards and accolades.

Moods (Barbara Mandrell album)

Moods is a studio album by American country music singer, Barbara Mandrell, released in September 1978.

Moods became Mandrell's most successful album during her career up to this point. The album spawned two singles, both of which became number-one country hits, "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed" and a remake of the popular Luther Ingram R&B hit, "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right". Both singles also charted on the Pop and Adult Contemporary charts. "If Loving You Is Wrong" became Mandrell's only Top 40 Pop hit, peaking at #31. The popularity of these singles made Mandrell's album a success, peaking at #8 on the Top Country Albums chart - her highest charting album up to this point. The album peaked on the Billboard 200 at #132.

Moods consisted of 10 tracks, ranging from sultry ballads to bouncy pop tunes. The album foreshadowed the success Mandrell would have well into the 80s, when she would achieve more best-selling albums and reach the pinnacle of her career. She would become one of the few women to win "Entertainer of the Year" (and the first person to ever win it twice) from the Country Music Association and would also win American Music Awards and two Grammy awards.
