Garth Fundis

And eventually, because she had done so many at such a high level, she became the go-to voice for background vocals.

That's when she crossed paths with Garth Brooks.

She sang on his demos, and he promised her if he made it big, he would help her get a record deal.

And as Garth often does, when Garth says something, he follows through.

Garth introduced her to his producer, and she eventually got a deal of her own.

By 1991, she was opening for Garth Brooks, and then came the hit.

She's in Love with a Boy dropped March of 1991.

It's the story of a small-town love, Katie and Tommy, young, broke, crazy about each other, despite what her father thinks.
