Happy Birthday wishes today go to Grand Ole Opry member Terri Clark, who was born on August 5, 1968. Her birth name is Terri Lynn Sauson and she was born in Montreal, Quebec. She is the only Canadian female Opry member. She had some very good success in the early and mid 2000's, however he career has been pretty quiet since about 2007. She has been recording material, but with little commercial success.
On May 15, 2004, during the televised portion of the Opry, she was suprised when host Steve Wariner was joined on stage by her mother and was asked to become the Opry's newest member. She was inducted as an Opry member on June 12, 2004.
