George Harvey Strait was born on May 18, 1952. He is known as “King George” the country music singer, actor, and living legend. Currently George Strait is touring the country with the name “The Cowboy Rides Away Tour.” Plans are to hang up the guitar, put on his boots and spurs and ride off into the sunset.
During the 1980’s seven of his albums reached # 1 on the country music charts. His first single “Unwound” was a hit in 1981. In 2000’s he was recognized as the “Artist of the Decade” by the Academy of Country Music. He was also elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame, and won his first Grammy Award for his album “Troubadour.” He is a three time winner of the Entertainer of the Year Award. In 2009 he broke Conway Twitty’s (40) #1 hits record with 44. King George has sold over 70 million records, and currently holds the #1 hit record with 60. His current single “I Got A Car” is on its way up the charts and could possibly end up as his 61st hit.
