Happy Birthday to her - Barbara Mandrell 🤍🎂 The day Barbara Mandrell took George Jones from the audience to sing on stage at the 1981 CMA Awards. Jones wasn’t having his best day - but he always had the charisma. Mandrell, a true class act, carried the performance with grace, heart, and respect for her friend and idol. Life is made of ups and downs - and country music tells it like it is. 🎶 I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool ✍️ Songwriters: Dennis W. Morgan / Rhonda Kye Fleming 🎥 Honky T
