January 17, 2001: “Born to Fly” hits number one for Sara Evans.

Sara Evans was on top of the charts and on top of the world back in 2001. The former Columbia residents and central Missouri native hit number one for the first time with the song, “Born to Fly,” which also earned Evans her first Country Music Awards win (Video of the Year.)

It was a huge beginning for the small-town girl from New Franklin. Since then, her albums have also won her numerous awards, including Female Vocalist of the Year from Radio and Records, Top Female Vocalist by the Academy of Country Music, and many more. She also made an appearance on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.
