She was a multi-instrumentalist by the time she was 10, now she’s the first woman to be inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame. Barbara Mandrell received the honor this past weekend at the International Steel Guitar Convention in St. Louis, MO . Nicknamed "Sweetheart of the Steel," Barbara was on tour with The Johnny Cash Show by age 13 and had her first Billboard chart record at age 21. Her NBC variety show, "Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters" drew nearly 40 million viewers weekly and introduced a nation to Country music. Earlier this year, Mandrell was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame and has now accepted the honor of joining the ranks of elite masters of the steel guitar.
