POP/ROCK - Oct. 16, 1987

Reba McEntire--who’s won country music’s top female vocalist award for an unprecedented four years straight--announced Thursday that she will make her New York debut Oct. 28 at Carnegie Hall. “Her appearance at Carnegie Hall will be the most significant move we’ve made in Reba’s career,” manager Bill Carter said of the former Oklahoma rodeo queen. “Carnegie Hall is one of the most prestigious venues in the world and not everyone can or should play it. Reba is such a powerful vocalist and performer, the choice in New York venues was obvious.”
