Growing up in Kentucky, being surrounded by country music, I probably knew who George Strait was,before I knew how to write my full name,and that’s saying something. I’ve always thought, however,that George
never got the recognition he deserved. He plays country music the way it was intended, pure, raw, real. New country is okay, and has it’s place, I’m sure, but George Strait is definitely among the unsung (pardon the pun) heroes of country music. I’d list him alongside of greats such as Hank Williams,George Jones, Merle Haggard,Waylon Jennings, Ray Price,Loretta Lynn,Patsy Cline, Red Sovine need I go on? I probably could for days. Though country is not exactly MY number one choice in music, I am very knowledgeable on the topic.
Here was a short Q & A with George, who is lovingly referred to as King George:The King of Country music. He is looked up to by the young and old,alike.

I watched most of the program,myself. He was paid homage to by music greats such as Alan Jackson and Tim McGraw, but the one part that really touched me was Jamie Foxx’s story and performance of “You Look So Good In Love”

George Strait has been singing country music, and entertaining us for thirty years, and I hope he hangs around for many years to come. He is the epitome of country music.
We love you, George.
