Wynonna Judd, the other half of the Judds, is celebrating her 55th birthday today. She was born in Kentucky on the 30th of May in 1964. Musical talent runs in the family so it would be natural for her to be as good as her mother.

They made it to the mainstream country when Wynonna and her mother Naomi signed to RCA Records. They were then called The Judds and became one of the award-winning duos in the country music scene.
