Barbara Ann Mandrell (born December 25, 1948) is an American country music singer, musician, and actress. She is known for a series of Top 10 hits and TV shows in the 1970s and 1980s that helped her become one of country's most successful female vocalists of that period. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2009.
She was the first performer to win the Country Music Association's "Entertainer of the Year" award twice. She was the only female to have done so until Taylor Swift equaled her. She also won twice the Country Music Association's "Female Vocalist of the Year" in 1979 and 1981.
Mandrell's first Billboard No. 1 hit was 1978's "Sleeping Single in a Double Bed", immediately followed by "(If Loving You Is Wrong) I Don't Want to Be Right" in early 1979. In 1980, "Years" also reached No. 1. She added one more chart topper in each of the next three years. "I Was Country When Country Wasn't Cool" (her signature song), then "'Till You're Gone" and "One of a Kind, Pair of Fools"—all hit number one between 1981 and 1983, a period during which Mandrell also received numerous industry awards and accolades.
"After the Lovin'" is a single by Engelbert Humperdinck, composed by Ritchie Adams with lyrics by Alan Bernstein. The single was a U.S. top-ten hit in late 1976/early 1977, reaching number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Cash Box Top 100. It became a gold record. It is ranked as the 61st biggest U.S. hit of 1977. The song also reached number 40 on the country singles chart and spent two weeks atop the easy listening chart.
In Canada, "After the Lovin'" reached number seven and was the 80th biggest Canadian hit of 1977. It also reached number one on the Canadian Adult Contemporary chart.
In New Zealand, the song spent one week at number one, and was the 10th biggest hit of 1977.
The song failed, however, to chart in the UK, despite Humperdinck's earlier successes.

by: Barbara MandrellThat big river's still rollin' through Memphis
And on Beale street they still play the blues
The smokie's still wear their halos
It's heaven on earth in the mornin' dew
They still make Jack Daniels in Lynchburg
On the Opry, Mr Acuff's still keen
You can get the best biscuits and gravy
And Loretta can still really sing
But there's no love in Tennessee
At least not the kind I really need
The folks here will gladly give you a helpin' hand
But they can't help me get you back again
There's no love in Tennessee
I know it's a beautiful place to be
But without you here with me
There's no love in Tennessee
Remember up on look out mountain
Our future seemed so clear
Too bad, Colorado came between us
Now I'll lookin' out through these tears
But I still love the magic of Dixie
Whoever said it gets in your blood, was right
There's still no place better than home sweet home
But there's somethin' missin' tonight
There's no love in Tennessee
At least not the kind I really need
The folks here will gladly give you a helpin' hand
But they can't help me get you back again
There's no love in Tennessee
I know it's a beautiful place to be
But without you here with me
There's no love in Tennessee
There's no love in Tennessee
At least not the kind I really need
The folks here will gladly give you a helpin' hand
But they can't help me get you back again
