Up until the rise of Brooks ‘n Dunn in the ’90s, the Judd’s were the most commercially successful duo in country music history. Mother Naomi and daughter Wynonna enjoyed an astounding run of 14 number one singles from 1984 to 1989, ranking them as one of the most popular country acts of the ’80s.
Their music combined elements of traditional country harmony singing, bluegrass, and Appalachian folk with pop, rock, and polished contemporary production. Wynonna’s powerful, bluesy, often sexy lead vocals established her as one of the finest female country singers of her era.
Though their off stage relationship was often more contentious than it appeared, it took a life threatening illness to bring the Judds to a halt. Naomi retired from performing when she was diagnosed with hepatitis C but beat the disease to watch Wynonna enjoy an acclaimed solo career.
Many songs are a favorite. I decided to share this one by Wynonna. Enjoy.

I have always loved her and her mom. Thanks for sharing this. I had forgotten about song saturday until after dinner. I posted late, but I did manage to share a song, although not my favorite.
They were a favorite of mine as well. It is never too late to post music, any day!
I like a little different music.
I too enjoy all kinds of music. Makes me happy.
I have never heard of them. I am listening now to punk band The Clash. I really like to hear their live recording “Live at Shea Stadium”.
They were popular in the 80s. This video was live and very good.
That is a wonderful song thanks for sharing I never heard it before
You are welcome, it was one of many top hits for the duo.
Beautiful song! The songs I listen to depend on my mood a lot.
Yes this is a favorite. She has a great voice. Thanks for the comment!
Beautiful song. I don’t know this singer.
She and her mother sang for many years. Thanks for the comment!
She was pretty good in her heyday. She had a good 15-year run during the 80’s and the 90’s.
Yes and she still does concerts locally.
