Randy Travis

The astounding success story of modern country music begins with the sound of Randy Travis. Radio programmers and music historians point to the advent of this distinctive stylist as a benchmark. His unflinching honesty, unerring sense of song craftsmanship, rugged good looks and fierce commitment to country's finest traditions made Randy a lightning rod for the entire "new country" explosion.
During his first decade of stardom, Randy Travis sold more than 20 million records, placed 25 brilliant singles in the top-10.
When his LP "Storms of Life" appeared in mid-1986, it became the first debut album by a solo country artist to achieve Platinum Record status in less than a year. It went on to sell more than four million copies and become the first of 10 consecutive multi-platinum albums. "Always and Forever," his second collection, was No. 1 for 10 solid months and won a Grammy Award. "Old 8x10," his third album, also won a Grammy.
The first boom in the "new country" explosion had sounded. In 1986, Randy became the youngest male ever invited to join the Grand Ole Opry. By the time he turned 30 in 1989, he'd sold more than 13 million records.
Randy Travis headed into the '90's as country's top-grossing touring attraction, spreading his plain-spoken message of purity and simplicity with an extraordinary voice, soft spoken charm and some terrific songs.In 1992 he became the first country artist to release two simultaneous albums – both volumes of his "Greatest Hits" became sales blockbusters. Later that year he and Alan Jackson co-wrote the latter's No. 1 smash "She's Got The Rhythm (And I Got The Blues)." Then Randy scored back-to-back No. 1 hits of his own, "If I Didn't Have You" and "Look Heart, No Hands."
Alongside his life as a record maker and concert attraction, Randy Travis has developed a notable career as an actor. He has appeared in more that a dozen movies, including Francis Ford Coppola's big-screen treatment of John Grisham's "The Rainmaker" and the Patrick Swayze feature "Black Dog," TV shows and successful video projects.In 1994 he took a year and a half off the road to launch his film career with a variety of roles.
The calm, measured manner of this consummate gentleman has been a constant throughout his remarkable career. The gentle humility, musical integrity and easy-going humor are still a combination that make Randy Travis one of the most charismatic stars of his generation.
