Ronnie Milsap

Ronnie Milsap moved successfully between R&B, pop and-of course-country in his career, amassing 40 #1 records, ten gold and platinum albums and six Grammy awards along the way. Even within the country genre, he's shown an enormous stylistic breadth, recalling the doo-wop era with "Lost in the Fifties Tonight," becoming the first major country artist to employ synthesizers in "It Was Almost Like a Song," threading heavy rock influences into "Stranger In My House" and channeling James Taylor in "(There's)No Gettin'Over Me." Born blind and poor in the Smoky Mountain region of North Carolina, Milsap learned to make music as a youngster. He decided in 1973 to concentrate on country tunes after having played rhythm and blues, classical, and even rock and roll. Milsap is revered as one of the top 40 Male Country Artists.
