Music has always been a part of Lee Greenwood's life. He started playing the piano when he was seven and the saxophone at 12. In junior high, he started his first group call the Moonbeams. His sister Patricia was the piano player in the band. By the time he finished High School he played most all the instruments in the orchestra and was the Drum Major for the marching band.
With seven #1 songs and 25 charted singles to his credit, choosing songs proved to be a success for Greenwood. His country hits include: "It Turns Me Inside Out," "Ring On Her Finger Time on Her Hands," "She's Lying," "I Don't Mind the Thorns If You're The Rose," "Dixie Road," "Somebody's Gonna Love You," "Going Going Gone," "You Got a Good Love Comin," "Fools Gold," and "Mornin Ride" while he already garnered several crossover hits such as "Touch & Go Crazy," "IOU," and the duet with Barbara Mandrell, "To Me".
"God Bless the USA" went far beyond what Greenwood expected when he wrote it in the back of his tour bus in 1983. The song has been in the top five on the country singles charts three times (1991, 2001, and 2003), giving it the distinction of being the only song in any genre of music to achieve that feat. It was also #1 on the pop charts after 9/11/01. In addition, CBS News voted "God Bless the USA" the most recognizable patriotic song in America.
