In addition, [[Wynonna Judd} was born on May 30, 1964 as Christine Ciminella http://www.cmt.com/artists/az/judds_the/bio.jhtml . The mother and daughter duo were working hard to break into country music, until they landed an audition after Naomi Judd gave RCA Records a demo.

    The country music duo is a true rags to riches story, since they came from complete poverty to stardom after signing with RCA Records. This popular duo ruled the country music stage for over a decade after breaking on to the Nashville music scene in 1983 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Judds. They belted out over 14 number one hits and made 10 albums altogether, which each of their albums seemed to have hit singles arise from them.

Their songs seem to speak to the fans and their music appealed to all ages, no matter if they were country or pop music fans. The Judds became a household name, as their career began soaring and their music made it to the radio. However, like any other music group, the mother and daughter duo faced trials and tribulations like any other music star.

    Unfortunately in according to Wikipedia 1991 Naomi Judd was diagnosed with hepatitis C and the country music duo decided to end their time on stage together. As The Judds completed their final tour, Wynonna Judd announced that she was going to begin a solo career. Now, Wyonna Judd has a successful solo career, but has reunited with mom from time to time to sing together once again.
