Barbara Mandrell – Born in 1948
In the early 1980s, Barbara signed on with NBC and it turned into a boon for the entire Mandrell clan, as she and her sisters, Louise and Irlene went from being the country music band, the Mandrell Sisters, to starring in the variety show Barbara Mandrell and The Mandrell Sisters. Like many other acts, the Mandrell Sisters, just fell off the radar. After her final performance in October of 1997, Barbara left showbiz to focus on her family. Besides a few tribute concerts, she has not sung a note ever since.
