In 1996, LeAnn Rimes break out of nowhere with her debut single, "Gentle," which immediately captured the attention of country fans across America. It wasn't just the fact that her rich, powerful vocals were unusually like to Patsy Cline -- it was the fact that Rimes was only 13 geezerhood old. Like Tanya Tucker and Brenda Lee ahead her, she had a make with her debut single and was scarce a teenager at the time. It was quite an auspicious direction to start a vocation. Born in Jackson, MS, merely raised in Garland, TX, Rimes (natural August 28, 1982) began tattle as a baby, playacting at local endowment contests.
