The Judds | Why Not Me (1984)
23 January 2008 // 10:44 AM
Wynonna & Naomi Judd were a mother-daughter duo known as The Judds in the country music industry from the early 1980s through the 1990s. Starting out while Wynonna was still in high school and Naomi was working as an RN, the duo were picked up by RCA to record their first full-length album.
The album reached #1 on the country charts and went on to sell more than a million copies - a huge feat for a new female country act. The song "Why Not Me" went on to win the Grammy Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal in 1986, as did "Mama He's Crazy" in 1985.
"Why Not Me" includes the duo's first Billboard #1 single on the Country music charts, "Mama He's Crazy, which was first released on their 1983 EP "Wynonna & Naomi." Three more singles from the album reached #1 on the country charts: "Why Not Me", "Girls Night Out", and "Love Is Alive."
In 1991, the Judds retired from the music business as a duo due to Naomi's hepatitis, a disease she contracted from a needle prick working as an RN. Wynonna trucked on, however, having even more crossover appeal than the duo and acheiving many Billboard Hot 100 hits as well as successful singles in Europe and Australia.
