The Hall of Fameto Naomi with a post on Instagram. The caption read, in part,"The duo helped take country back to its roots in the 1980s with lean, tuneful songs influenced by traditional folk music, acoustic blues, and family harmony acts.
What's more, The Judds had also recently just announced a tour set to kick off this fall. It would have been the duo's first tour together in over a decade. The Judds rose to fame with classics like"Love Can Build a Bridge,""Why Not Me,""Mama He's Crazy," Girls Night Out" and many more. In a storied music career that spanned nearly three decades, The Judds racked up a whopping 14 No. 1 songs. The Judds, which sold more than 20 million albums, ended their reign over country music in 1991 after Naomi was diagnosed with hepatitis.
Naomi, born in Kentucky, traded in her scrubs for a mic after discovering her and Wynonna's voices blended beautifully. They'd eventually go on to dominate the country scene, earning five GRAMMYs, nine CMA Awards and seven Academy of Country Music awards. The Judds released six studio albums, including more than 20 hit singles.3rd Rock From the Sun
