By 1951, she was playing with bands and in 1969, Mandrell moved to Nashville where she decided to build her career as a musician.

She kicked off her career on the television show Barbara Mandrell and the Mandrell Sisters, which happened to receive a Golden Globe nomination and win an award from the People’s Choice Awards.
This television show featured Barbara and her two younger sisters Louise and Irlene as hosts. The Mandrell Sisters was a variety show and because of this, the program was a mixed bag of some sort as they had music guests come on the show, put up comedy skits and rounded up each episode with the performance of a gospel song.
The show only lasted for two years and this was because its viewership was dropping and the busy career life she had was causing strain to her voice. Despite its cancellation, Mandrell had made a lot of money from her work on the show. In the year the show came to end which is 1982, she made $650,000 which when adjusted to fit inflation that has occurred over the years will come to more than $2 million in current time.
