This Day in History June 3, 1989

Tweet

How about some happy news today?  It was on this date in 1989 that Reba McEntire married her manager, Narvel Blackstock, and they are still married to this date!  Okay, I know that she was married once before, but she even recognizes that her first marriage was a mistake.  She was too young.  But, hey, she and her husband must be doing something right to be married as long as they have been.  And very happily married, from what I can tell.  They have one son--Shelby--born in 1990.

I have always known the name Reba McEntire long before I was a country music fan.  I can remember seeing her in TV specials as I was growing up.  She is one of those rare talents in country music.  She sings, acts, and remains current.  She has been on Broadway, on TV, in movies, and more.  Whenever I used to teach about her in music class, the kids knew her because of her show Reba.


In honor of their 23rd wedding anniversary, I will post this video of hers.
