The award-winning vocalist is beloved around the world for a litany of her classic hits. Songs such as "I'm Sorry" (which has sold over 20 million copies) and "Break It To Me Gently," "All Alone Am I," "Losing You," and "Emotions," were chart toppers, while her perennial holiday classic, "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" wins new fans every year.

She has served her own creative music community in Nashville on the Country Music Association's (CMA) Board of Directors, the Board of Governors for the Nashville Chapter of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Science (NARAS), and the Nashville Board SAG/AFTRA, as well as serving the interests of hosts of charity and humanities organizations.
