Holly Dunn

Born in San Antonio, Texas, Dunn began her music career as a songwriter and demo singer in Nashville for CBS Records and MTM Records. Along with her brother Chris Waters, she penned tunes for Marie Osmond, Louise Mandrell, and Cristy Lane.

Her first hit was "Daddy's Hands," a song she wrote as a Father's Day gift for her father, a preacher. Although she would have bigger hits than the #7 single, "Daddy's Hands" remains the most memorable. "I still get emails about it personally every day," she told us in 2016. "Still, 30 years later."

She earned two Grammy Award nominations for "Daddy's Hands": Best Country Vocal Performance - Female and Best Country & Western Song.
