Upon her high school graduation, the cowgirl saddled up for Nashville to make her musical dreams a reality!
The singer was later signed by Billy Sherrill, the man credited with finding Tammy Wynette. Fairchild went on to record a variety of successful hits that sent her straight into the adoring hearts of country music fans!
