About George Strait

George Strait was born on May 18, 1952 in Poteet, Texas. Strait actually began his life in music as a rocker, playing in a rock band during high school, but later switched genres to country. Strait's true country beginnings came during his time in the Army country band Rambling Country. After leaving the forces in 1975, he attended Southwest Texas State University to complete a degree in agriculture. In 1975, while attending SWT, George Strait was accepted as lead singer into the Ace in the Hole Band. Although Ace in the Hole produced a few records for independent label D during the 1970s, the band never achieved much success. Today, Ace in the Hole acts as the back-up band for Strait.

In 1979, George Strait's friend Erv Woolsey, the owner of a bar where Ace in the Hole played, invited several MCA record executives to hear George Strait play. That performance convinced MCA to sign Strait in 1980, according to All Music Guide. George Strait's first single, "Unwound", was released in the spring of 1981 and climbed into the top ten. Unwound was followed by a whole string of Number One hits, including 1983's "A Fire I Can't Put Out", 1984's "You Look So Good in Love", 1987's "All My Ex's Live in Texas", 1991's "You Know Me Better Than That", 1993's "Easy Come, Easy Go", 2002's "She'll Leave You With a Smile", 2006's "It Just Comes Natural", and many others. In all, there have been over four dozen number one George Strait singles, according to records kept by Billboard.

In addition to his numerous hit singles, George Strait has produced 13 multi-platinum, 19 platinum and 5 gold albums, making him the third highest selling artist in the United States, bested only by Elvis Presley and The Beatles. Strait has cited infleunce from a vast array of country icons, such as Merle Haggard, George Jones, Bob Wills and Hank Williams. Yet, George Strait himself is known for his influence, contributing to the styles of artists such as Garth Brooks. Strait is also a highly successful on tour, and George Strait concerts have attracted tens of thousands of fans over the years, according to George Strait's official website. While some of his contemporaries have branched their style out into other genres, such as rock, Strait is well known for keeping to his classic hony tonk and western swing style.
