I seen Tanya Tucker when the state of Kentucky had a show called Phillip Morris. And I've loved her music since. My Uncle that passed away several years ago loved Delta Dawn. I wish could meet her in person and tell her thank you so much for teaching me the love of music more than I did have. Country Music is my favorite it makes sense.

[@CoExist64]

I listened to WSM growing up, we lived in Western Ky and it was one of the only stations we could get. Love the voices of the classic country singers

[@lynnfox2359]

No one sings "Delta Dawn" like Tanya Tucker.

[@ladybug3864]

Tanya Tucker is one of the female artist that had me listening to country music way before Country music became half country and half Pop music. Tanya paved a new country for all of the up coming stars from 1972 to now

[@RandyStacy-j5h]

Tanya is my favorite of all female artists. I literally love ❤️ her songs and she will always be the one singer that is in my ❤. I pray that she continues to do well in her life. God bless her.

[@brendakennedy9183]

Tanya, my favorite female artist since "Delta Dawn". I'm just a few months older, but my oldest granddaughter, soon turning 17 was rocked to sleep with Nana singing Delta Dawn daily and multiple times in her day. I decided she'd be Tanya Tucker fan if I had to teach her everyone one of TT's songs! Love you Tanya, a sister after my own heart!

[@shellydehart8217]

She’s my one favorite country artist since she was 13 singing Delta Dawn n my favorite Two Sparrows in Hurricane. I give her so much credit to continue to believe in herself n her music. Great documentary. Love it!

[@nancyharvey4472]

I just love this beautiful woman / entertainer. I’d love to meet her someday… that’s on my bucket list. You failed to mention the many other things she has done like produce the best Salsa ever on the market at one time. I was saddened when I couldn’t find it anymore. Hat’s off to one of the best ladies in country music. Keep on singing my friend…❤

[@leasagowers2293]

[@jeffschroeder8294]

I had a crush on this woman and her music when I was 6.

[@robertwaid3579]

You Go Tanya. It was the fall of 197I or 72 I'd just turned Fourteen that September 1st and My Dad & I were leaving too go Goose 🦆🦆 Hunting in Northern Alberta. Anyway's I had and 8 Track Tape Player with Me. So while getting ready to Drive up North that November, I was playing My Music 🎵🎶 Country, Rock, & Easy Listening Stuff. Well when Delta Dawn Came On. My Dad perked up and Said Who's that Singing there. IT was the Second Year in a Row that My Dad and I were Leaving Together too go Hunting. Just Us Guy's, taking Off for 4 Day's Alone. A Son's Dream Coming True Yipi Ki Yi Aye FTFers . I for One was on the Moon. Ya Know. So when Dad Questioned Me about the Song, I Boldly told Him, that the Young Female Singer was My First Crush 🥰🥰 and Her Name was Tanya Tucker. Well Dad Looked Over at Me, Questionably Smiled & Said Really Son? She is Your Crush Girl. I Said Yes She is. And He Calmly Said She Has a Great Voice like Patsy Cline had. Boy You Talk 🦜🦜 about a Father and Son Connecting in Unison. And that was Us. Needless to Admit it Now. But Tanya Tucker has Ever Since then been My Favorite Female Singer of All Time. So Thank You So Much for Sharing Her Wonderful, and Difficult Lifetime Story, With Myself and So Many Countless Other's. May God Bless Him. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@melindasavage2052]

Great story and I grew up listening to her music

[@CherylDriggers-dx9my]

When I was 12 years old, Tanya was 13. I have followed her all these years.❤

[@l.dianneclevenger2559]

I well remember hearing Tayna Tucker when she first came on the scene in country music, and wow, was everyone, including myself, highly impressed. She was that good with talent and looks to boot. She has a special style, and she owned it lock, stock, and barrel! I'm genuinely thankful and grateful to see and hear this talented young lady go big and make it. Almost similar to it happing to my own self. One of a kind,unique, and thank you Ms. Tayna Tucker for taking us along with you on your road to superstar. Kudos!

[@barontaylor7139]

My mother and I saw her at the Port Theatre in Nanaimo in 2017 with Gary Fjellgaard as the opening act and we are going to see her on July 26th at the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver.

[@PattyHudson-i3o]

[@l.palmer6747]

A favorite!!! Jamestown Ferry, Wilson Green, Would you lay with Me. What a talent.

[@JenAmazed42]

Ive never a devoted fan though she does have several that i love. Strong enough to bend being my favorite. I most appreciate the fact that she convinced Leslie Jordan to make his gospel record before he passed and i love her for that

[@Robert-dq5me]

My kind of lady..

[@FrankHoage]

She always been the greatest female singer in my life.

[@martymcmannis6581]

I grabbed a handshake from her back in 79 at the Wayne county fair in Ohio. I would love to meet her, one on one. She got in a 57 pink Cadillac Thanks for your songs girl

[@vickiemiller2307]

She is truly one of the best entertainers that I ever seen at Craven Country Music Festivzl which I attended 32 times. I seen her when she was first starting at the Saskatoon Exhibition and then at Craven or Country Thunder last year. She is right up there with stars like George Strait and Garth Brooks. She has an amazing voice and stage presence and I was so blessed to get to see her again!

[@uofa82]

She came in when country rock was just getting started.

[@bjh1]

She's the one that started Country rock

[@smokymountain2234]

[@donnahaynes2325]

My favorite is " Like 2 sparrows in a hurricane". Beautiful song. ❤

[@lindawall6833]

Very nicely done documentary...

[@marktweet7395]

Sat beside her in first class out on Nashville. She was very nice!

[@lesevans6567]

I love her. I wish I could tell her that. I grew up with her on the radio. I’d say between her and Adrian Barbeau. Would be my first star crush. I still see the both of them by their smiles. That’s why they’ve never changed to me. I’m glad they didn’t spend a whole lotta time on the GC end of it. Because, in the 80’s. That saga seemed to go on forever. Thank you Ms. Tucker!

[@williamrandall6472]

I remember Tanya coming to our local fair &rodeo in Rock Island County in Illinois. Tanya was a young teenager, as was I, Lol,I still remember the massive crush I had on her,OMGOODNESS, she was just the cutest little gal I had ever seen. I often wonder how she's doing these days

[@the-kilted-trucker59]

The first few songs Tanya Tucker grabbed my 13 year Old heart. Then I found out she was only a few months older than myself. So I guess she had stolen my teen heart.

[@JaimeMartinezJr-k5v]

Tanya was a wild child..God Bless her

[@martindowling1401]

Love Tanya Denise Tucker!!!!

[@leolabernard4798]

[@johnpearce3714]

* I & a few other Jerry Lee Lewis fans met her when she was over here in the uk. --- Jerry Lee was on his 1987 sold out tour of the uk.& Europe. Yes ,it was nice talking with her ,she was watching Jerry's shows.

[@helenmallory3002]

AWESOME TALENT .....

[@jeffschroeder8294]

My favorite song is "Would you lay with me."

[@Thomas-bv9mn]

I remember I was coming in from working on water wells and it was hot and I was dirty and sweaty. I suburban pulled up along side me on the Interstate and a blond woman was waving at me. I halfheartedly waved back as they passed. Later my neighbor called me and said you weren't very impressed by Tanya Tucker. I said, " What?". He said he had taken Tanya fishing on the Big Horn Moutains and they passed me on the way home. So that was the blond girl. Little did I know.

[@tammybarrett7650]

2024 ❤❤❤ love you TANYA TUCKER

[@NancyJSimpson]

I barely had heard of her but knew the song Delta Rose had no idea what a huge star and presence she was in country music. I can see why her voice is like Elvis's one in a billion. Wow.

[@Hippygal88]

When Delta Dawn came out i was in elementary school. Little ol town of Bowling Green, Ky. Loved her ever since!!! Like he said she did what they all did (and alot of us too). No shame in that Mighty strong woman

[@lauraclements2308]

Her family was so beautiful 😭😭😭😍🥰

[@rachelcampbell9960]

TANYA TUCKER is a MEGASTAR!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CoExist64]

Loretta. Patsy. Tanya. Tammy. Dolly…1st ladies of country

[@beautyonabarnbudget]

There's a 20+year span of when those people came out. You act like they came out in the same Era. Also, I can almost bet u dont know 5 other songs of patsys besides crazy without googling.

[@FrankBryant-x5w]

I enjoy that she is good singer ❤😢

[@Wooley689]

Tanya made it because her parents helped her develop her interests instead of what they wanted. Record companies and industry will write singers off, but the rest of us wonder where they are and still want them around.

[@mikeskidmore6754]

Tanya was blessed with great Parents..

[@misscleo378]

I’m always conflicted about parents who allow their children to be in adult situations. I do believe her father had her best interest at heart. She was so young, but there are no guarantees what her life would have been had they stayed in Texas.

[@patttyannhudson]

Always loved Tanya shes cool

[@Lisa-lu1gt]

Love her music. Started listening at 13. Loved my arms stay open all night. And little rock

[@Jane-kp3xr]

Never really liked Country Music, but I did like Tanya Tucker a lot.

[@CUPCAKESUGARPIE]

🎼🤟♥️♥️♥️🤟🎼 Absolutely Looove Tanya!!!

[@JamesMcCullough-gf4fh]

I hav a picture of Tanya riding a horse in Shreveport, Louisiana when she first started singing.

[@canaidianz]

Beautiful soul filled voice 🙏

[@nancyjohnson5810]

Throwing firecrackers at her brother while he's driving the bus!?!? She's a fool and lucky to still be alive. But she's made it to 65 so God Bless her.

[@gussiefdudley6246]

Her & Glen Campbell really took a trip.togetger back in time. Lol❤❤ ❤😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤🎉🎉 🎉

[@mikeskidmore6754]

I have heard Delta Dawn on the Radio since I was 10 years old. I just assumed that Tanya was an Adult Performer in her 20's or 30's ..I assumed she was Loretta Lyn and Dolly Parton's age. Years later with more forms of Media .. I knew that Leanne Rymes was very young when she became famous.

[@lillianmcgrew217]

❤❤❤❤

[@gussiefdudley6246]

She is the age of. my Daughter! ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😢😢

[@junethorndale]

Great singer

[@johnwillard6198]

If your❤aint busy tonight ❤

[@helda4850]

WOW! What a gal ! Love, love Tanya ...I'd rather have Tanya than Dolly and Tammy , Tanya had put "joie de vivre" and I love that....

[@jayjudd6518]

Ho Lee shit that girl is a ball of fire ❤ I watch her tv show then she was a character say the least character to say the least.😊😊😊😢😮😮

[@BrianCorntassel-zl3gy]

Wow, her first property was named after a cherokee chief who was pushed off a waterfall wirh his girlfriend. Tuckahoe

[@lesevans6567]

They never mentioned her cameo part. In what some people consider the greatest movie of all time. Did they?

[@DavidHummel-cc4of]

Yes Jeremiah Johnson was a great movie and I didn't know until a few minutes ago that T.T. had a cameo...pretty neat cause i like both kinds of music and 60's- 70's westerns

[@rachelcampbell9960]

Please play SEMINOLE WIND for me!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@sheepdoglogic]

First time I saw a video of her was when she was 14 sing Delta Dawn in the tight leather outfit and I was in-love with her from the day forward! HOOAH!!!

[@christywhite3693]

She beats them!

[@nancyjohnson8854]

Talented

[@LisaBredeson-v1v]

Her folks let her quit school. I thought that would be illegal. They skirted the law 😮

[@pamcayo5462]

I would love to meet Tanya
