Reba McEntire broke through from Oklahoma rodeo circuits into Nashville in the late 1970s and, over five decades, became known as "The Queen of Country" for a run of more than 100 Billboard Hot Country Songs entries, 25 of them number ones. Her dramatic, story-driven vocal delivery, showcased on hits like "Fancy," set a template for big-voiced, narrative country singing that shaped a generation of artists who came up behind her.
