These Celebrities Fell Off the Radar but They’re Still Breathing and Bingeing

Barbara Mandrell – Born in 1948

While Barbara Mandrell dominated country radio with six #1 hits like “Sleeping Single in a Double Bed,” her prime arrived later. She became the first artist to earn back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year awards in 1980 and 1981.

She hosted her prime-time variety show, “Barbara Mandrell & the Mandrell Sisters,” and appeared in a cable special, “The Lady Is a Champ.” After surviving a severe accident, she inspired seatbelt safety campaigns. In 2020, her song “Sleeping Single in a Double Bed” was remixed for digital release, reconnecting her with a new generation.
