The Judds - Rip It Up The Judds Live USO Concert Rip It Up Sooo Fun to watch them sing this oldie. ~ The Judds story began in Ashland, KY, where Naomi was born Diana Ellen Judd on January 11, 1946. An honor roll student, she often played piano in the Baptist church her family attended. They caught their first big break through Naomis nursing job: one of her patients happened to be the daughter of record producer Brent Maher, & that contact eventually led to an audition for RCA executives in early 1983. Naomi has told the story of when record producer Brent Maher came to their little Kentucky mountain home to hear them sing as he arrived he noticed there was a skunk on the porch (had to throw that in for Kentucky is also my Birthstate, Lol) After an audition for RCA executives in early 1983 the Judds were signed on the spot and issued their debut single. They lived a very poor lifetsyle with no phone or TV. Music helped pass the time, and Wynonna began playing the guitar and harmonizing with her mother, who was in the meantime studying to become a nurse. Naomi retired from performing when she was diagnosed with hepatitis C but beat the disease & went on to watch Wynonna enjoy an acclaimed solo career. These Gals won numerous Grammy awards and daughter Ashley (later, of course, a successful movie star)
