Who doesn't love "King" George Strait?   The Troubadour is currently on what he says is his last tour, The Cowboy Rides Away, but he won't stop putting out music (phew!)  

So far, he's racked up 59 number one hits in his long career and now he has a new goal in mind.   Thanks to fans, family and lots of very famous friends joining the "Sixty for Sixty" movement, George may get his 60th number one for "Give it All We Got Tonight" before he turns 61 May 18th!    So far, the tune reached gold status faster than any of his other singles and is already in the top 15 on the charts.    He has more number ones than any other single artist in history, in any genre, beating both The Beatles (20) and Elvis (18), according to his website.  George has received some major support from fan/friends like Luke Bryan, Little Big Town and Darius Rucker.   Won't you join the cause?   "As a tribute to George’s incredible career, and his influence on Country music and other recording artists, we invite YOU to help bring awareness to the “Sixty For Sixty” campaign. Help make “Give It All We Got Tonight” George Strait’s 60th #1 single, while he’s 60 years old."   Read all about it here!   Check out George performing live in concert, (Martina McBride is doing back up!)
