Sara Evans

They got it from their mamas!

Did you know that these well-known country songs were almost hits for other artists?

Do you have a favorite?

On March 7, 1998, Evans made her debut at the Grand Ole Opry.

On March 6, 1999, Evans earned her first No. 1 hit with "No Place That Far," the title track from her sophomore album.

Evans' songs are some of the most-played at radio over the course of the last decade.

Since the late 1990s, Evans has made an impact on the country music scene with her upbeat hits, deeply emotional ballads and relatable lyrics ... and her music videos are pretty sensational as well.

It's a performance that stands the test of time.

Merry Christmas y'all!

The elder Evans passed away two days shy of Thanksgiving.
