There are 40 pictures available that showcase George Strait during his younger years. Despite having a career in country music that has lasted over four decades, it was not until George Strait was in high school that he truly became interested in this genre of music.
On May 18, 1952, the well-known individual was born in Poteet, Texas to his parents, Doris and John Strait. During his teenage years, he developed a keen 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 therefore desired to stay informed about current affairs.
Strait began his music career during his time at Pearsall High School by being part of a rock band called the Stoics. Even when he went to college, he continued pursuing music and joined a country band named Stoney Ridge after seeing their flyer on campus, where they were looking for a new lead singer.
Taking on the role of the band's new lead singer, Strait took it upon himself to rename the group as the Ace in the Hole Band and took on the role of being the guiding force behind their music. They then proceeded to perform at various honky-tonks and bars located in the southern and central regions of Texas
In the year 1981, MCA Records approached Strait and he agreed to sign with them. He then released his debut single, "Unwound," which achieved significant commercial success and reached the Top 10 on the country music charts during that period.
As his popularity grew, Strait decided to venture into the world of acting. In 1982, he had the opportunity to be a part of the film "The Soldier." Following this, he made appearances in a couple of other films, with "Pure Country" being the most notable. In addition to his film roles, Strait also lent his voice to a character in the animated series "King of the Hill."
This country heartthrob's success was unstoppable, and by the 1990s, he had become widely recognized and earned the enduring title of King of Country Music.
