Over the Fourth of July weekend, Tyrell, 24, popped the question to Scott, 25, while the two were enjoying a day at the lake in Tennessee.

In April 2010, Scott told Us she felt "blessed" that Lady Antebellum formed the way it did. "Whatever just happens naturally is what we go with," she said. "But when it all comes down to do it, there's a lot of timing and fate involved."

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
