Description
Tanya Tucker began as a 13 year-old with "Delta Dawn." It was her signature song, but was later also a # 1 song for Helen Reddy, and covered by a "who's who" in country music, including Shania Twain.I was a country music DJ in Louisville at WINN Radio and had the pleasure of introducing her at one of her first concerts along with George Jones, Bill Anderson and Jerry Lee Lewis.
But my father was walking backstage at the Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman (back then in 72) and then at the new Opry House later mixing it up with every Opry member and their entourages.
Ken Kittinger was the premier gold & platinum awards maker for 50 years with a workshop near Music Row that enjoyed visits from every country star and many rock stars you can imagine. He was also an expert framer and framed a great amount of the artwork and wall hangings in the homes of nearly every star that lived in or near Nashville. I was with him on a visit from my CNN anchor duties in Atlanta one day when I drove with him to Tanya Tucker's home to deliver some new framed art he did for her.
He took photos of the stars and superstars backstage at the Grand Ole Opry for those 5 decades, would have them reproduced (or copied in the "old days") and eventually he would run them down in their dressing rooms or the Opry break room backstage and have them sign a huge stack of his personal pics. He never would allow any to be published and many are one-of-a-kind photos that simply do not exist anywhere...signed by the artist or sometimes (several artists in the same photo).
