I believe if you ask any singer who was the greatest country music singer of all time, they would say ‘George Jones’. He was without question and by far the BEST! I first met and worked with him when I was 13 years old; I am so very grateful that he was my friend.

The greatest gift God has given me is the capacity of love for people. I have so many faults, but caring about people is not one of them.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell That is the exciting thing: I don’t know what God has given me for tomorrow.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell If we don’t help each other, who will?
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell It’s an exciting life. I don’t know where God is leading us. I just know that He opens doors and He closes the doors, and it is always the best for us.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell That’s what I loved about show business, no two days were alike. It’s an exciting life.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that God holds tomorrow, so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen, He loves me so big, so much. I come through it and I grow from it, because He has got me.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell By our Heavenly Father and only because of God, only because of God. We’re like other couples. We do not get along perfectly; we do not go without arguments and, as I call them, fights, and heartache and pain and hurting each other. But a marriage is three of us.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell It seems to me that unless you or someone very close to you has had a bad head injury, you really can’t fathom it. You have no concept of what it is all about. It was so difficult for my whole family, not just me.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell I realize we’re not promised tomorrow. Believe me, I realize that. But if God blesses me and lets me stay, I love my life so much, it is such a good life. I am eager to throw myself at His feet, but I don’t want to get on the first busload that is going.

Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell For the next approximately three years, I have got Nathan to take care of. I know that once he graduates from high school, he will be off doing whatever it is he is going to be doing – probably playing ice hockey.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell The only crying shame about it is, when good things happen to you, you run short of time. It takes the same amount of time, however, to tell people, ‘It’s good to see you again. I’m sorry we only have a minute to talk,’ as it does to say, ‘I don’t have time to talk with you’ period.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell I think it was 37 years that I did music.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell I was country when country wasn’t cool.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell And they just saw me on that and – from the time I was 11 until I was 12, I guess. And then when I had just turned 13, they asked me if I wanted to tour with Johnny Cash back East.
Barbara MandrellBarbara Mandrell I am loving being Momma. I really, really am.
