There are 40 pictures available that showcase a young George Strait. Although George Strait has been involved in country music for over four decades, he only developed an interest in the genre during his high school years.
The now-famous person was born on May 18, 1952, in Poteet, Texas. He was the son of Doris and John Strait. During his teenage years, he developed a strong interest in news radio and the farmer's report. This fascination stemmed from his family's ownership of a large ranch, where he actively participated in various tasks and always desired to stay informed about current events.
Strait began his journey in the music industry during his time as a student at Pearsall High School. He was a member of a rock 'n roll garage band called the Stoics. Even after he went to college, his passion for music continued as he responded to a flyer posted by the country band Stoney Ridge, who were in search of a new vocalist.
After taking on the role of the lead singer, Strait decided to change the name of the band to the Ace in the Hole Band and took on the role of the leader. They performed at various honky-tonks and bars in the southern and central regions of Texas.
Back in 1981, MCA Records approached Strait and he agreed to sign with them. As a result, his very first single called "Unwound" was released. This song achieved significant commercial triumph and reached the Top 10 list in the country music genre during that period.
After gaining more popularity, Strait made the decision to venture into the world of acting. In 1982, he landed a role in the film titled "The Soldier". Following this, he has made appearances in a couple of other movies, with "Pure Country" being the most notable one. Additionally, he also lent his voice to a character in the animated series called "King of the Hill".
This popular country singer was unstoppable, and by the 1990s, he had become widely recognized and earned the enduring title of King of Country Music.
Throughout his career, Strait has achieved an impressive feat by securing over 60 chart-topping songs and selling millions of albums across the globe.
