George Harvey Strait (born May 18, 1952) is an American country music artist. George won CMA Entertainer of the year in 1989 and 1990 and ACM Entertainer of the year in 1990. A member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, Strait has been nominated for more CMA awards than any other artist. As of 2008, he holds the record for the MOST Number One hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts with forty-three Number Ones on that chart. Counting all other music charts, Strait has amassed a total of fifty-six Number One hits overall, breaking a record previously set by Conway Twitty. Strait’s 38 hit albums (12 multi platinum, 22 platinum and four gold) rank him only behind Elvis Presley and The Beatles. The RIAA have certified his albums at 68× platinum, denoting shipments of 58.5 million in the United States. His best-selling album there, is Pure Country (1992), which sold 6 million (6× platinum). His highest certified album is Strait Out of the Box (1995), which sold 2 million (8× platinum). According to the RIAA, Strait is the eleventh best-selling recording artist in the United States overall.
Out of all the new country singers to emerge in the early ’80s, George Strait stayed the closest to traditional country. Drawing from both the honky tonk and Western swing traditions, Strait didn’t refashion the genres; instead, he revitalized them for a new decade. In the process, he became one of the most popular and influential singers of the decade, sparking a wave of neo-traditionalist singers from Randy Travis and Dwight Yoakam to Clint Black, Garth Brooks, and Alan Jackson.

One of the greatest artists from any genre - know as the "Country Sinatra" and rightly so. Back to back No.1 hits. Anyone who likes country music is sure to love him, he has stayed so true to his roots. Sings everything from Ballads to Dance tunes, everything for the perfect night in a Texas dance hall. Definitely the "King of Texas".
