How old was Tanya Tucker when she released “Delta Dawn”?
Bette Midler recorded "Delta Dawn," Helen Reddy took it to the top of the Hot 100 in 1973, and the version that outlasted them both belongs to Tanya Tucker, who might've had a hard time relating to a 41-year-old woman wandering around town in a faded flower dress. How old was Tanya Tucker when she recorded her debut single "Delta Dawn"?

Correct Answer: 13
(Source)Teenagers usually can't wait to grow up, so good luck finding one who understands what it feels like to want the younger days back. Tucker walked into a Nashville studio and nailed it at just 13, only two weeks after signing her first deal with Columbia Records. The label tried to keep her age under wraps, but word got out, and a kid who wasn't old enough to drive became country music's newest star. Her version is so good I wouldn't have cared if she were 13, 30, or 300.
