The answer is absolutely yes. Reba sang with her mom and dad for about 10 years or so in their heyday, then went out on her own. Reba Rambo McGuire is the daughter of the late gospel music legend, Dottie Rambo. Dottie started writing songs when she was three years old on a creek bank in Kentucky where she was born. Dottie came from a large family, but very poor in those days.

Dottie Rambo started listening to the Grand Ole Opry and began to sing county music on the local radio station when she was about 10 years old. Shortly after this time, she became a born-again Christian and embraced the Christian message and started to write and sing gospel music. Her dad hated that she no longer sang regular country music and issued her an ultimatum at only 12 years old. Either stop singing gospel music or leave home. That is exactly what happened. At only 12 years old, Dottie Rambo was forced to leave home. With her mother's blessing in leaving her off at the Greyhound Bus on the way for a revival meeting in Evansville, Indiana, where she was scheduled to sing, her mother told Dottie: "I'm going to worry God to death over you."

Four years later, at age 16, Dottie met Buck Rambo, who came to know the Lord in one of the revivals where Dottie sang. Then about two years after that, Reba was born. To make a long story short that should become a feature-length movie, Reba started singing with her parents at about 14 years old and she sang with them in the heyday of their career for about 10 years until she went on to develop a cutting-edge solo career in contemporary Christian Music. Dottie became the legendary writer of some 2,500 songs which have been recorded by the likes of Elvis Presley, who was a close personal friend of Dottie's, to Whitney Houston, Dolly Parton, and almost every gospel singer on the planet. She garnered a Grammy for her album, "The Soul of Me" in 1968, backed up by an all black choir and the KKK threatened to kill her. Her influence in Christian music and even in pop music has been tremendous. Reba has had a great deal of influence early on with her stellar solo career, but she has never been given the credit that she probably deserved for being probably the chief female forerunner of the more modern music that came to be called contemporary Christian.

Sadly, Dottie Rambo was killed in a bus accident on Mother's Day 2008 on her way to perform with some golden girls of gospel, Lulu Roman and Naomi Seego. She is tremendously missed. Her daughter, Reba, pastors a church in Nashville called the River at Music City, along with her husband of 25 years, Dony McGuire.

What musicians died in airplane crashes?

Quite a few- the most famous incidents are those of Big Band leader Glenn Miller, whose 'plane disappeared over the English Channel during WW2 in 1944, and also the crash in February 1959 that killed Buddy Holly, Richie Valens and J.P. Richardson, nicknamed 'The Big Bopper'. It has been known ever since as 'The Day the Music Died' (though don't confuse the 1973 tribute song 'American Pie' by Don McLean to be about this- the song instead is referring to the death of President Kennedy). Other musician deaths include romantic country singer Patsy Cline in 1963, Otis Redding in 1967 (just 3 days after he released his hit 'Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay'), Jim Croce in 1973, three members of the band Lynyrd Skynrd in 1977, Randy Rhodes of Ozzy Osbourne's band in 1982 (in a light aircraft- he was fooling around with the controls whilst pretending to 'buzz' the house that Osbourne was staying in), Rickie Nelson and his band in 1985 (when the old Douglas Dakota they had chartered caught fire), blues guitarist Stevie Ray Vaughan in a helicopter crash in 1990, all of the band of country & Western singer Reba MacIntyre in 1991, John Denver in 1997 when the experimental light aircraft he was flying went out of control and plunged into the sea off the West Coast of the USA, actress and r & b singer Aaliyah Haughton in 2001 when her plane went down after taking off from the Bahamas due to being overloaded, and Mexican-American singer Jenni Riviera in a light aircraft crash in 2012- composer James Horner, who wrote the scores for the film 'Titanic' and other famous movies, was also killed in an air crash the same year. Bryan Ferry, formerly of Roxy Music, had a narrow escape when the airliner he was travelling in to South Africa suddenly lost altitude due to a temporary technical fault and plunged for 12,000 feet before it was brought back under control again- he was terrified and thought that he and his family were going to die. As far as I know there haven't been any famous classical musicians or composers who have been killed in air crashes, but don't quote me on this- you can check on it by looking it up on Google.
