...~~~ARTIST~~~
Reba McEntire is a hugely popular country music start, especially in her native US, where her multi-million dollar business includes not only recording studios and labels, but clothes and homewears too!
Born in McAlester, Oklahoma, in 1955, she's been in the music industry since the early 1980's. Her style of music has been described as "bridging the gap" between the 'traditional' country of Tammy Wynette and LorettaLynn and the 'contemporary' country of the likes of LeAnn Rimes and Faith Hill.
