Way back in 1983, a youthful Alan Jackson began his profession as a country music entertainer. And, throughout many high points and low points that go along with a job in the music business, he’s had one individual who stayed close by through everything. Her name is Denise Jackson, and she’s Alan’s High school darling and dearest wife. But way before Alan discovered fame in the country music industry, he first met Denise in high school. Curiously, she even had the same last name before she wedded him. The two would get hitched in 1979. Furthermore, Denise was also the person who helped kick off Alan’s music career!
While she was working diligently as an airline attendant, Denise struck a conversation with country artist Glen Campbell when she spotted him at an airport. She informed him regarding her husband’s desire to pursue his dream of becoming a country music singer. Campbell would proceed to help launch Alan’s now-incredible career, which started to take off right alongside his family. In 1990, both he and Denise would receive a blessing in the form of their first daughter, Mattie. At that point, more young ladies would enter Alan and Denise’s lives as they welcomed Ali in 1993 and Dani in 1997. Also, in 2004, Denise showed up in a music video for Alan’s melody titled “Remember When.”
Happy Father's Day, Alan!

During the tune’s instrumental break, the video shows the couple slow dancing and sharing a delicate kiss. Pictures of the lovely couple’s life together over the years would play over screens in the background of the video. Is that not the most romantic thing? You can see the video below.
Alan admits that the song is about Denise. He says the tune represents a look back on their life together and how they would think back one day and ask one another, “remember when?” With Alan being away for extended lengths on his music tours, Denise can’t be with her husband as much as they may like. Be that as it may, she had an opportunity to join her hubby in front of an audience at a show in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2007.
“I got another guest I want to introduce tonight, which I don’t get to do much,” he says. “My wife, Denise.”
