At 13 years old, this country crooner topped the country charts because of her hit song “Delta Dawn.” Discovered by Mel Tillis, the young Tucker was invited on stage by Tillis to perform due to the teen’s amazing vocal skills. In 1969, Tucker’s family moved to Las Vegas and she was soon regularly performing in the city. Eventually, she got the attention of Dolores Fuller, a songwriter, and the teenage vocalist was soon signed to Colombia Records.
