She Was A Star Before Puberty, What This Country Sensation Looks Like Now...OMG Tanya Denise Tucker was born in 1958. She is now 57 years old, and has been performing for 43 years. She made her chart-topping debut at the age of 13 with Delta Dawn. Before her hit song was released Tanya frequently performed with Mel Tillis. In 1969 her family moved to Las Vegas and she regularly performed. Her first demo album gained the attention of the head of A R at CBS records. Columbia records quickly signed Tanya. Her first hit was not an original song; in fact it was not the first song that the record label wanted her to record. Tanya passed on recording The Happiest Girl In The Whole USA. Tanya chose Delta Dawn because she had heard Bette Midler perform it on The Tonight Show. Originally the record label tried to keep Tanyas age under wraps, but it soon leaked. Tanya became a sensation the moment her age was known. Tanya was one of few female artists to be classified as being part of the Outlaw Country movement. With maturation, Tanya Tucker gained fans. Tanya had her last hit song in 2004. Since then she has struggled to find any song with traction. She released an album in 2009, but it was a flop. Tanya still has a loyal fan base, but she is struggling to regain the fame she had when she was only 13 years old. Do you still love Tanya?
