Christmas came early 36 years ago for the Judds. It was on this day (Dec. 22) in 1984 that the mother-daughter duo, made up of Naomi and Wynonna Judd, landed at the top of the charts with their hit single "Why Not Me." "Why Not Me," written by Harlan Howard, Sonny Throckmorton and Brent Maher, was the debut single from and title track of the Judds' first full-length studio album. The song -- which questions, "Why not me on a rainy day? / Why not me to love your cares away? / Why not me? / Why not me when the nights get cold? / Why not me when you're growin' old? / Why not me?" -- stayed in the top slot for two weeks before being surpassed by George Strait's "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind."
