Jo Dee Messina

Jo Dee Messina released "Heads Carolina, Tails California" in 1996 and you'll hear her voice sampled during the first few bars.

On Aug. 18, 1998, Messina landed at No. 1 on the Billboard country singles chart with "I'm Alright."

On April 17, 2006, Messina ran the Boston Marathon ... and completed the race, even after injuring her knee.

On Feb. 8, 2002, 'Burn' was certified platinum, for sales of one million units.

Messina songs have a lot of attitude.

Davis pays homage to a classic with this updated version of 'Heads Carolina, Tails California.'

There are many -- too many -- country stars who have had cancer or have been personally affected by it in some way.
