Look it up if you want to confirm; I did. When your life and those of your children were on the line because of the negligence of a drunk driver, I doubt you care much for what the "general consensus in the community" is. cynical one - It’s a fact, under TN law, she HAD to sue the estate of the other driver in order to collect insurance to pay medical bills.

She didn't sue the young man, she sued his grieving family. Insurance companies cannot "require" you to sue someone. She, the wealthy entertainer who already appeared insincere and stuck-up to the Nashville community, sued the less-than-wealthy family. The general consensus in the community was that she should have either refused to sue, or let the insurance company sue, if they wanted to. gina — Sorry, I stand corrected.

Her insurance company actually required that she sue the estate in order to receive her benefits. The guy was DUI and Barbara and her children's lives were on the line. Who wouldn't have sued?

I'm not sure I see the wisdom in that. Maybe someone donated to a trust fund, in order to get her daughter-in-law a showcase? Maybe not, but one has to wonder. I'm sure Babs is a fine Christian lady, an outstanding leader in the community, but my mind is clouded by memories of her suing the young man with whom she was involved in an auto crash several years ago, and by comments from a former employee, who told of demeaning practices (like having an employee hold her underwear so she could step into them). But as with most people who've been discussed on these pages, some folks have had good experiences with her, and other not-so-good. Of course, I've never had anyone hold my underwear, so I could step into them, but I'm sure there are folks who've had both good and bad experiences with me. Just ask my family. :-) SomthingNeeds2Happen #36 — So we go find someone outside the genre, who contributed a little 25+ years ago, just because there’s no one else inside the genre who deserves it, just so we can give an award?

She chose to retire from country music, and has made no push, as far as I know, to break into southern gospel. You are also right that you don't see the major country stars today trying to get into this style, which even validates Barbara's inclusion more. She included gospel music when she WAS in the prime of her career. baritonebob - You are right, however I don’t think this is the case with Barbara.

From all I can see she is -- and she deserves the highest of accolades in the country music field -- which IS the field she worked in. Anything given to her in southern gospel is nothing more than pandering to the fans trying to stir up attention in an industry that can't seem to do anything note-worthy on their own.

These stars want to sing the music yet they don't know much about the music or the history of it. # 31 Ben, I think a lot of SGM fans are cynical when all of these country legends who’s day in the spotlight has dimmed(seen any current/recent stars doing this?), jump into SGM in order to give their career a boost.

I see this as very unfair. I have never met anyone in any genre of music that I admired more. She was a lady each and every time I had the occassion to work with her, and her giving heart was amazing. I have many things I could tell of her love for people but these are far too long for this forum. I know of no one who dislikes Barbara after they have met her. She is a great lady.
