“Mama He’s Crazy” – Single by The Judds from the EP Wynonna & Naomi
B-side: “Down Home”
Released: April 1984
Label: RCA/Curb
Songwriter: Kenny O’Dell
Producer: Brent Maher
Charted No.1 in US (Billboard Hot Country Songs )
The single went to number one for one week and spent a total of 14 weeks on the country chart.
This was only the second country chart-topper sung by a female duo ever. The first was The Davis Sisters featuring Skeeter Davis whose “I Forgot More Than You’ll Ever Know” reached the summit back in 1953.
The Judds’ down-to-earth appeal was reflected in the music video, directed by David Hogan, which was shot at their modest home in Franklin, Tennessee.
The song earned The Judds their first Grammy for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
