Clint Black - Country Music
Born on the east coast in Long Branch, New Jersey, on February 4, 1962, Clint Black's musical career has been an amazing success. Raised in Houston, Clint dropped out of school so he could play music, working during the day as an ironworker and fishing guide. After playing in bands with his brother, his solo performances got the attention of RCA Records, who signed the 25 year old. His first album "Killin' Time", 1989, was certified Triple Platinum, with three number one hits: "Killin' Time", "A Better Man", and "Nobody's Home".
After Killin' Time, he was pegged as the next country superstar to take the industry by storm. Clint didn't let anybody down. That album lead to Clint's first award, the CMA Horizons Award, the first of countless awards and nominations throughout the years for male vocalist of the year, album of the year, favorite male country artist, songwriter of the year, entertainer of the year, as well as even more gold, platinum, double platinum and triple platinum albums.
Among his list of #1 singles include "Nothing but the Taillights" and "A Good Run of Bad Luck". In 1994, he was announced to be Billboard Magazine's Most Played Country Radio Artist. Clint met and married actress Lisa Hartman, now known as Lisa Hartman Black, and the two had a number one hit duet in the song, "When I Said I Do". Clint Black's career has left him with the reputation of being quite possibly the perfect country artist. His fans seem to agree with that.
