Tanya Tucker Biography

Tanya Denise Tucker, a vocalist, was born on October 10, 1958, in Seminole, Texas. She spent her early years in the Southwest, where the family frequently moved due to her father Beau's need to preserve sources of money (doing everything from selling garbage iron to center dull, Tucker would later say in a People meet). Tucker began playing the saxophone at age 6. In the end, she admitted that speaking came more naturally to her, and she and her family relocated to Las Vegas so that she could look for job opportunities in implementation. Her manager was her former love. When Tucker signed with Columbia Records, she released her debut album Delta Dawn in 1972. The title single, released when the vocalist was 13 years old, reached No. 6 on the national charts. (She was inspired to record the song after watching Bette Midler sing it on television.) The following year, Tucker achieved her first No. 1 single with What's Your Mama's Name, which was featured on the album of the same name. Tucker, one of the first bluegrass artists to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine, had just released her first Grammy Award-winning song and had a musical sound that belied her age at 15. Tucker earned many more hits while switching to other markers during the next decades.
