In 1982, Barbara Mandrell went on stage to receive her award as “Top Female Vocalist” on 17th Academy of Country Music Awards. At that time she was so beautiful wearing a white top and a black dress with white shimmering studs on her hair. On the other hand, the presenters at that particular affair were Bobby Bare and Charo.

Mandrell was so grateful to accept the award. Furthermore, she thanked the academy and stated that they have been good to her. Additionally, she thanked her record producer and record label.

Mandrell told the people that Charo was so gorgeous. She recalled both of them praising each other. When Charo walked away, Mandrell just stood up and realized she felt like a boy.
At the stage, Mandrell cracked she “felt like a boy” with her funny frowning face. Everyone in the crowd went laughing as well as Charo and Bobby Bare.
