We were the girls of the 50's. ( a la la lah)
Stoned rock and rollers in the 60's
And more than our names got changed
As the 70's slipped on by.
Now we're 80's ladies.
There ain't been much these ladies ain't tried.

There's a full minute of set up on the music video if you want to skip to the song 1:09

Whatever happened to her?

I know this from when Anita Pointer sang it on a TV special:

Retired and living in Nashville, age 70.

KT made some off the cuff remarks about Reba and Alabama on an awards show, and her career never recovered.

Here KT and Reba play off the feud:

I used to love her.

Did she have more then one album?

Didn't knwo about the fued.

I wanna hear more about this-did alabama black ball her?

Nah it was more like if Kanye West wanted to have a country hit after dissing Taylor Swift

KT wins Top Female Vocalist: "Reba, you had a wonderful run"

K.T. Oslin Wins Top Video of the Year For "80's Ladies" - ACM Awards 1988

smooch from Eddie Rabbit

KT saying Reba had a wonderful run seems to have rubbed people the wrong way, and she said it a couple times that night.

This clip has her saying it again when she wins Song Of The Year, and performing "Hold Me" from the album This Woman. What a voice!

Re those comments, she should have quit while she was ahead

Reba had probably won the female categories a few years in a row, but the comment sounded like "you're over, I'm here now". That's not what KT meant and Reba never took it like that either.

But apparently other people did-she was a Dixie chick ahead of her time
