Judds

The Judds were an American country music duo formed in the early 1980s by Naomi Judd and her daughter Wynonna Judd. They became one of the most successful acts in country music during the 1980s, releasing a string of hit singles and albums that brought their close-harmony vocal style to a wide audience.

The group's sound blended traditional country with pop influences, highlighted by tight vocal harmonies and Wynonna's distinctive lead vocals. Their repertoire included songs such as Mama He's Crazy, Why Not Me, and Grandfather (Tell Me 'Bout the Good Old Days), which helped drive a wave of popularity for female-fronted country acts.

During the 1980s and into the early 1990s, The Judds received multiple awards, including several Grammy Awards and Country Music Association honors. The duo disbanded in 1991 after Naomi Judd announced she had hepatitis C, ending their touring and recording activity as a group.

Naomi Judd died in 2022, leaving Wynonna as the surviving member of the family. Wynonna has continued as a solo artist and has occasionally reflected on The Judds' legacy, which remains a significant influence in country music.
