Don't know if this program "Women of Country", back in 93 was ever discussed but I've got the whole thing VCR'd, and you could tell they probably were begging Linda to be a part of the program, because they had nothing but wonderful things to say about her on the show! I think Lorrie Morgan really shines in this clip even though she's not the one singing!

The Women of Country was a two-hour music special that was broadcast over the CBS Television Network on May 6, 1993. It includes musical performances in a concert at the Murphy Center on the campus of Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, by legends such as Tammy Wynette and new artists like Suzy Bogguss, combined with contemporary interviews and films of vintage performances. This video is a transfer from a VHS recording of the broadcast.
Reviewer Edward Morris wrote about the broadcast in the May 22, 1993, issue of Billboard Magazine:
“The May 6 broadcast of ‘The Women of Country’ on CBS-TV appears to have sizably increased album sales for many of the artists featured on the show.
“The fact that several of the women who appeared on the special were also on the Academy of Country Music awards show on NBC-TV less than a week later is likely to maintain their momentum.
“Among the top beneficiaries of ‘The Women of Country’ exposure are Mary-Chapin Carpenter (whose songs opened and closed the special), Kathy Mattea, Pam Tillis, Suzy Bogguss, and Michelle Wright. All were featured performers.”
