Wynonna Judd

By the time she became a teenager, Wynonna was completely wrapped up in music. "I didn't have a TV, telephone or Nintendo to occupy my time, so I had to play guitar to keep busy," she said. She moved with her mother to Franklin, TN, near Nashville, at the age of 15. Her mother encouraged her music, but she also began to worry. "It became my private world," Wynonna said. "I wanted to be in music more than anything in the whole world. First there was the Judds' famous live audition, backed only by Wynonna's guitar, in the office of RCA's Joe Galante. Then their first show, playing to an audience of 10,000 as the opening act for the Statlers in 1984. The hits started and kept coming -23 of them - and awards began piling up. The Country Music Association's Horizon Award for 1984 was the first of their eight CMA awards. They won the first of four Grammy's in 1985. Album sales soared to over 11 million worldwide, including six gold, three platinum and one double platinum.
