George Strait is not only a Grammy award winner but is referred to as the “King of Country,” and critics call him a living legend.  He is known for his unique style of western swing music, bar-room ballads, honky-tonk style, and fresh yet traditional country western music.

If George is the king of country music, then Reba McEntire has got to be the queen.  Her second MCA album, My Kind of Country (1984), which had a more traditional country sound and produced two number one singles: “How Blue” and “Somebody Should Leave”. The album brought her breakthrough success, bringing her a series of successful albums and number one singles in the 1980s and 1990s. McEntire has since released 25 studio albums, acquired 24 #1 singles, and 28 albums have been certified Gold, Platinum or Multi-Platinum.

Strait rocketed to success after his debut single “Unwound” in 1981. While contributing to the neo-traditional movement of the 1980s, he amassed 18 number one singles and seven number one albums in the decade with hits such as “Fool Hearted Memory” and “Ocean Front Property.” By the 1990s, Strait had influenced a new breed of performers while continuing his own successes with 17 number one hits including “Heartland” and “Blue Clear Sky.” The next decade for which he was named Artist Of The Decade by the ACM, he was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame and won his first Grammy award for his hit album Troubadour. Strait continued his previous successes during this time, producing a more contemporary sound with moderate cross-over hits including “She’ll Leave You with a Smile” and “You’ll Be There.”
