REBA MCENTIRE, with PAKE and SUSIE McENTIRE - Will There Be Any Stars In My Crown

Reba Nell McEntire was born March 28, 1955, in McAlester, Oklahoma, to Jacqueline (née Smith; November 6, 1926 – March 14, 2020) and Clark Vincent McEntire (November 30, 1927 – October 23, 2014).

Her father and her grandfather John Wesley McEntire (February 19, 1897 – February 13, 1976) were both champion steer ropers. Her father was a World Champion steer roper three times (in 1957, 1958 and 1961). John McEntire was the son of Clark Stephen McEntire (September 10, 1855 – August 15, 1935) and Helen Florida McEntire (née Brown; May 19, 1868 – May 16, 1947). McEntire's mother had wished to become a country-music artist but instead became a schoolteacher, although she did teach her children how to sing well.

McEntire reportedly taught herself how to play the guitar. On drives home from their father's rodeos, the McEntire siblings learned songs and how to harmonize from their mother, eventually forming a vocal group called the "Singing McEntires" with her brother Pake and younger sister Susie (their elder sister Alice did not participate). McEntire played guitar in the group and wrote all of the songs. The group later sang at rodeos and recorded Reba's history and art teacher's (Clark Rhyne) song "The Ballad of John McEntire". Released on the indie label Boss, one thousand copies of the early 45 rpm record were pressed, but the recording was not promoted in a full commercial radio-promoted release.
