Born in the tiny Texas panhandle town of Denver City, Tanya Tucker started her rise at the age of eight, when she started performing on the southwestern fair circuit. In 1972, a 13-year-old Tanya took the country world by storm with her debut single, "Delta Dawn". An impressive string of country hits continued through the next 25 years, although her turbulent private life at times seemed to overshadow her musical success. A powerful singer with a soulful edge, Tucker was a Nashville queen with an outlaw spirit.
