Barbara Fairchild

Artist Information

Barbara Fairchild’s vibrant personality, her love for humor and storytelling along with her extraordinary talent for singing country and gospel music make her one of the finest entertainers you will ever see. The power of her beautiful voice to affect the listener came front and center when her #1 hit, “THE TEDDY BEAR SONG,” hit the airways in the winter of 1972. She has a sincere warmth that flows out of her to everyone she meets, whether they’re on the street or as a member of the audience in one of her shows.

In 1992 , Barbara was honored to be the guest artist on the Mel Tillis Show in Branson Mo. That was the beginning of a life changing era for her as she and her talented husband Roy Morris produced and performed ‘ The Barbara Fairchild Show’ in Branson for the next 25 years. Barbara and Roy’s love for each other and for people not only projects from the stage but in their every day life as well. In the tradition of other husband and wife teams that brought laughter to millions, Barbara and Roy have a natural flare for comedy that is delightful to experience. They have been and still are such an important part of the Branson, Missouri Entertainment Community. Their limited schedule in Branson now allows more freedom to focus on road dates.

Their Sunday Morning Worship Service that began in 1992 and continued for 25 years was a source of inspiration to the thousands of Branson visitors who attend each year. Countless people have said…. “A trip to Branson is not complete without being with Barbara and Roy on Sunday Morning.” Their special Annual Veteran’s Service is still held on the Sunday before Veterans Day during Branson’s Veteran’s Homecoming Week in November. Barb and Roy believe we owe more to our Veteran’s than we could ever repay and take every opportunity to let our nation’s heroes know how important they are. Barbara and Roy’s faith is their foundation and the most important aspect of their lives.

2012 marked the 40th anniversary of the recording of the ‘Teddy Bear Song’. She re-recorded the song and a special video was released that inspired Barbara to created a very special trademark teddy bear named ‘Teddy Bearchild’. She penned a children’s book called, “Hi, I’m Teddy” and added a CD of the song to create a package to raise funds for children with Autism. Barbara stated “The ‘Teddy Bearchild’ package is such a great way to teach children to embrace and include little ones who have special needs. We can all benefit and we can learn from this simple message”. This project has been and will continue to be a major focus for Barbara in the years to come.

Throughout Barbara’s exciting and extensive career she has received many awards and honors. Her nomination for two prestigious Grammy Awards, one for her #1 country hit, “The Teddy Bear Song” and the other in the music for children category, “Lullaby forTeddy” are special highlights in her career.

Barbara’s talent has not diminished through the years and you can often see her these days on the RFD Network along with many of her peers on the very popular “Country Family Reunion” hosted by Larry Black and Bill Anderson and ‘Larry’s Country Dinner’ with Larry Black.
