Alabama and Pam Tillis

Born in Plant City, FL, and raised in Nashville, Pam Tillis became a '90s country star. Known for "Maybe It Was Memphis" and "Mi Vida Loca," she won an ACM award and hit No.1. With collaborations like Lorrie Morgan, Tillis co-produced albums, performed on Broadway, and embraced her father's legacy in It's All Relative.

Alabama, formed by cousins Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook, revived country bands in the late '70s with a blend of country and rock. The band, rooted in Alabama, gained fame with hits like "Tennessee River" and achieved 27 number-one singles in the '80s. They secured multiple awards and had seven multi-platinum albums. Alabama's signature sound and remarkable success, particularly with their seamless harmonies and crossover appeal, set a high bar in country music. Their influence continues, even after multiple reunions and the passing of band member Jeff Cook.
