Barbara Mandrell, Roy Clark and Charlie McCoy have been inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville.

Now 60-year-old Barbara Ann Mandrell is an American country music singer who is renowned for a 1970s-1980s series of Top 10 hits and TV shows from 1980-1982. Because of these, she became one of country music’s most successful female vocalists of the 1970s and 1980s. Also, she was the first performer and is currently the only female in country music history to win the Country Music Association’s “Entertainer of the Year” award for two times. She has also won the Country Music Association’s “Female Vocalist of the Year” twice.

Roy Linwood Clark, 76, on the other hand, is a versatile and famous country music musician and performer. He is best renowned for hosting Hee Haw, one of the first nationally televised country variety of shows in the United States from 1969 to 1992.

Charles “Charlie” Ray McCoy, on the other, is an American musician noted for his harmonica playing.  In his career, McCoy has backed several notable musicians including Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley. He has also recorded eighteen studio albums, including fourteen for Monument Records. Thirteen of his singles have entered the Billboard country charts. He was a member of Area Code 615 and Barefoot Jerry. (Wikipedia)

The hall’s newest member were honored Sunday in a musical salute featuring Garth Brooks, George Jones, Rebe McEntire, Alison Krauss, Josh Turner, Rodney Crowell, Michael McDonald and a lot of more.

“All three of tonight’s inductees looked at the way country music was presented on television and said: ‘We can make this even better. We can present country music to a mainstream audience with respect, love and humor,” said Tammy Genovese, the Country Music Association’s chief executive officer.

With the inductions, the Hall of Fame now has 108 members.
