Wynonna was raised in Ashland by her mother Naomi Judd and stepfather Michael Ciminella; her biological father Charles Jordan abandoned Naomi before Wynonna was born, and Naomi then married Michael and gave birth to Wynonna’s half-sister Ashley. The family moved to Los Angeles, California in 1968, but Naomi and Michael divorced in 1972; Naomi moved with her daughters to Kentucky in 1976, and then to Nashville, Tennessee in 1979, in pursuit of a music career. Prior to launching her career as a country musician and changing her name, Wynonna’s mother Naomi was known as Diana.
Naomi and Wynonna formed their country duo The Judds in 1983, and in the same year signed a contract with RCA Records. They released many songs in the following eight years, with 23 of these charting on Billboard Hot Country Singles, and they also released eight albums, not including two Greatest Hits albums and a Christmas album. The mother and daughter duo won numerous awards and accolades during these years, including eight Billboard Music Awards and nine Country Music Association Awards, while they were also nominated for five Grammies.
Naomi began suffering from hepatitis C in 1991, which marked the end of The Judds; this led Wynonna to focus on her solo career, and she signed with MCA Records and Curb Records in the same year. She released her debut solo album “Wynonna” in 1992, and its lead single “She Is His Only Need” topped the charts; her second album “Tell Me Why” came out in the following year, and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), while it also spawned five charting songs.
Some of Wynonna’s following albums were “Revelations”, released in 1996, “The Other Side”, which came out in 1997, and the 2000 album “New Day Dawning”. She returned to the spotlight following the release of her sixth studio album, “What the World Needs Now Is Love” in August 2003, and it spawned hit singles “Heaven Help Me” and “What the World Needs”.
