Ray Stevens: Tanya Tucker CabaRay Nashville Performance...

Hello all you fans of Ray Stevens!! I'm going to be making up for lost time with several new blog entries beginning with this one. I'd been keeping up with Ray's on-line activity but I hadn't written a blog entry for several days...as I'm sure you've noticed. In this blog entry I'm embedding a video of Tanya Tucker on Ray Stevens CabaRay Nashville. Today is her birthday. In the clip she performs "Strong Enough to Bend"...one of the massive hit recordings she had during what is known as her comeback in the mid '80s. The song was written by Don Schlitz and Beth Nielsen Chapman and it hit in 1988...reaching number one (her ninth solo chart topper). Tanya's comeback began in 1986, following a three year hiatus, and from 1986 until 1997 she inarguably had much more commercial impact than she did during the first half of her career when she debuted, as a teenager, with "Delta Dawn", which hit the Top-10 in 1973.
