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.
