Lee Greenwood

No "overnight success" story here. Lee Greenwood – one of the most acclaimed artists internationally – and often identified as virtually the ultimate name that comes to mind when patriotism is mentioned in the entertainment industry – gained his success the old fashioned way: he earned it, one rung up the ladder at a time. After years of struggling to gain recognition in the music industry, one song– "God Bless The USA"–  in 1983 singularly transported Lee Greenwood far beyond the ranks of stardom to a niche in America's pop culture that is seemingly reserved for he and he alone.
If any doubt existed of Greenwood's "forever imprint" on America, it was dispelled in 2003 – the 20 year anniversary of its release – when "God Bless The USA" was voted online by Americans as the "most recognizable patriotic song" in the nation. The song that Lee Greenwood wrote bested competition that included "God Bless America" and the "National Anthem" as a modern national anthem of the common man.
Lee Greenwood won the 1984 ACM Male Vocalist of the Year award. His first three albums achieved gold status, and his "Greatest Hits" quickly went platinum. In 1985, a less publicized facet of his talent was recognized when the CMA awarded him Song of the Year honors for penning both the words and music to "God Bless The USA."
After the Gulf War in 1991, Lee was one of the most in-demand performers. Because of his support for the military and veterans during that time, Lee would often play two and sometimes three shows per day, traveling to and from in private jets.
The staying power of this dynamic performer throughout twenty successful touring years remains evident in every Lee Greenwood show. Thirty albums, numerous TV appearances, and hundreds of radio interviews are all vehicles through which this tireless performer maintains his visibility with the public. His celebrity tours with the United Services Organization (USO), including his USO tour in September of 2003, are one of the many high-profile charity organizations to which this humanitarian donates his time.
Since the tragedies of September 11, Lee has seen his signature hit, "God Bless The U.S.A.," take on yet another incarnation. Since the attack on America, airplay has increased ten fold, skyrocketing "God Bless The U.S.A." back into the top 20 of the Billboard country airplay chart, and sending Lee's 1992 album "American Patriot" to the top of the sales charts. The album was certified gold in October 2001 and platinum in December 2001. In January of 2002, Lee Greenwood signed a long-term recording contract with Curb Records.
Lee's performances continue to be as in-demand as his music. He has been called upon to perform at numerous events and on national television programs. Other stellar career highlights include appearances at The Prayer service at Yankee Stadium, a moving a cappella performance for the rescue workers at Ground Zero, the nationally televised Thanksgiving Day parade in Detroit, Michigan, Game 4 of the 2001 World Series, "Regis and Kelly," "Entertainment Tonight," "Good Morning America," "Larry King Live," "Fox & Friends," "Hannity & Colmes," "The Other Half," "Movie Guide Awards," "Access Hollywood," and many more. He continues to maintain a rigorous touring schedule, including visits to military bases and performances at government functions, including the Veteran's Day ceremony at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
