Karen Brooks is an American country music singer who is best known for a series of Top 40 hits on the Billboard Country Chart in the early 1980s, including "Faking Love," a duet with T.G. Sheppard which topped the country chart in February 1983.
Brooks was born in Dallas, Texas in 1954. Attended Bryan Adams High School. Formerly married to Gary P. Nunn Mother Lynn Brooks was a make-up artist in the Motion picture industry.
