Originally from Kentucky, Naomi was working as a nurse when she and Wynonna started singing together professionally. Their unique harmonies, together with elements of acoustic music, bluegrass and blues, made them stand out in the genre at the time.

They earned a total of five Grammy Awards together on hits like “Why Not Me” and “Give A Little Love.” The Judds sang about family, the belief in marriage and the virtue of fidelity.
