Biography

Reba McEntire is an American country music artist, born March 28, 1955 in Chockie, Oklahoma, USA. She was discovered by [a933663] while singing the National Anthem at the National Finals Rodeo in 1974, and signed with [l39357] the following year; recording her first tracks & single in 1976. Six albums followed, and after some minor chart success, she scored her first top ten single in 1980 eventually charting number one three years later. She moved to [l878] in 1984, and was able to gain more control over what material to record, and eventually co-produced some of her albums. She became one of the most prominent artists of this decade, realizing the importance of self promotion and the then new "music video" format. She won CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1986 (and again in 1994) while also being awarded Female Vocalist of the Year or Female Artist countless times into the 2000's (while also achieving several Grammy awards, and the Kennedy Center Honors in 2018). During the 1990's, Reba became a major touring act, and also a cultural phenomenon with her multiple multi-platinum selling albums, elaborate stage shows & promotion, which along with [a288409] made history and paved the path for countless country music artists to follow. She has also branched into acting, theater, television (the sitcom "Reba" has never left syndication since its debut in 2001), publishing, and most importantly, philanthropy. She is also the sister of recording artists [a=Susie Luchsinger] and [a=Pake McEntire]. To date, she has sold over 75 million formats worldwide, has had more than 25 number one country chart singles, and continues to be a major presence in pop culture & country music.

LYRICS

She can account for all of the men in her past
Where they are now, who they married, how many kids they have
She knew their backgrounds, family and friends
A few she even talks to now and then
But there is one she can't put her fingers on
There is one who never leaves her thoughts
And she thinks his name was John

A chance meeting, a party a few years back
Broad shoulders and blue eyes, his hair was so black
He was a friend of friend you could say
She let his smile just sweep her away
And in her heart she knew that it was wrong
But too much wine and she left his bed at dawn
And she thinks his name was John

Now each day is one day that's left in her life
She won't know love, have a marriage or sing lullabies
She lays all alone and cries herself to sleep
'Cause she let a stranger kill her hopes and her dreams

And all her friends say what a pity what a loss
And in the end when she was barely hangin' on
All she could say is she thinks his name was John
She thinks his name was John
