Barbara Mandrell's last concert...


I actually watched this when it originally aired in 1997...

Somehow, I ended up watching Barbara Mandrell's last concert on YouTube last night.  I don't know why.  I liked her show with sisters Louise and Irlene when it aired in the early 80s.  I even appreciated the re-runs when they were on The Nashville Network ten years later.  I read Barbara's life story, Get To The Heart, which was all about how she came to be a major country star in the 70s and 80s.  But I wasn't really a big fan of her music, even as I admire her ability to sing, dance, and play multiple instruments while still looking so dainty and pretty.

Barbara Mandrell is obviously a born performer.  She was richly endowed with musical gifts.  When I think about how easy it is for her to make music, it boggles the mind.  I still never really got into her music.  Maybe I should explore it more, now that I'm older.  I will say this, too... that outfit she's wearing doesn't do much for her.
