When she was 13, her family moved to St. Louis and by the time she was 15, she had cut her first single, Brand New Bed Of Roses, for the Norman label and was appearing on local TV. On finishing high school in 1968, Barbara and a friend, Ruby Van Hoy, headed for Nashville to pitch songs and try and get a record deal. She met music executive, Jerry Crutchfield in a record company parking lot and he invited her in and listened to her songs. He thought she had some potential and he encouraged her to go back home and write seven more songs of the same quality. Barbara returned to Nashville two months later with fifteen songs and Crutchfield signed her as a staff writer for MCA Music. He was also impressed with her voice and took one of her songs to Billy Sherrill, Columbia/Nashville Vice President of A & R. Love Is A Gentle Thing landed Fairchild a recording contract with Columbia and became her first release in 1969. The single reached the Top 70 as did the follow-up, but it introduced her to the radio deejays. As a result, her third chart entry, A Girl Wholl Satisfy Her Man, reached the Top 30 in 1970. Her next moderate successes came the following year with (Loving You Is) Sunshine and Loves Old Song. In 1972, Barbara had a Top 40 hit with a cover of the 1967 Petula Clark hit, Color My World. She followed that with Thanks for the Memries, which reached the Top 30. Late in 1972, Barbara scored the biggest hit of her career with a song from A Sweeter Love, her third album. Teddy Bear Song became a No.1 record and held the spot for two weeks. The record also crossed over to peak in the Top 40 on the Pop chart. As a result, Barbara was nominated for a Grammy Award. She also started to appear on national TV shows and had her own one-hour BBC-TV Special in the U.K. Barbara continued her success in 1973 with Kid Stuff, which reached the Top 3 and also crossed-over onto the Pop charts. Her final Top 10 single, Baby Doll, followed in 1974. She wrapped up the year with Standing In Your Line (Top 20) and Little Girl Feeling (Top 40). Between 1975 and 1978, Barbara had 10 charted singles for Columbia, of which the most successful were Mississippi, which just failed to make the Top 30 and Cheatin Is, a Top 20 record, both in 1976 and Let Me Love You Once Before You Go, which made it to the Top 25. Barbaras reign at Country radio came to an end in 1978 when none of her releases reached the Top 40. She had received some plaudits for her work with her being named "Entertainer of the Year" for three consecutive years by the Professional International Rodeo Association. Following the break-up of her second marriage in 1979, she left the music business and moved to San Antonio, Texas, to spend time with her children. In 1980, Barbara recorded several duets with Billy Walker on the Paid label, three of which were low level chart entries. During 1982, she married evangelical singer and songwriter, Milton Carroll, and returned to Nashville two years later. She attempted a comeback in 1986 with Capitol Records, where she was produced by Don Williams and Allen Reynolds, but she only managed a low level chart single from this association. Barbara discovered a new career in Gospel music in 1989 when she was asked to join the group, Heirloom. One of the members of the trio was leaving to pursue a solo career and Barbara came to join existing members, Candy Hemphill and Tanya Goodman Sykes. The following year, she recorded the album Apples Of Gold with the group and that produced the Gospel radio hits, Prayin Up A Storm and Suffer The Little Children. In 1991, Barbara released her first solo Gospel album entitled, The Light. She wrote many of the songs on the album and had radio hits with, Turn Right And Then Go Straight and Mary Washed His Feet. In addition to her Gospel recording career, Barbara is a regular performer in Branson, Missouri. For two years, she was part of the show at the Mel Tillis Theater and in 1993, was a regular on the Jim Stafford Show. This lovely lady continues to record with Heirloom. James I. Elliott.
