by Heather PharesTracie Spencer first made an impact as a child performer, winning the TV talent show Star Search and having a hit record under her belt by the time she was 12 years old. The Iowa-born singer's self-titled 1990 debut featured an interesting mix of youthfulness and potential soulfulness, which developed on songs like "Tender Kisses" and "This House." One of a handful of performers young enough to have a comeback while still in her twenties, Spencer resurfaced in 1999 with Tracie, which she described as her "coming of age record."
