Garth Brooks holds his pet possum while joining Naomi backstage during the 1991 Farewell Concert.
Unfailingly kind and polite, Brooks impressed Naomi as he opened for The Judds on their 1991 Farewell Tour, but she famously and incorrectly questioned the young star's ability to succeed long-term in such a difficult industry. She was happy that he proved her wrong.
VIDEO: Brooks offers a touching filmed tribute to Naomi featured in the Farewell Tour pay-per-view event.
