George Strait

George Strait is an American country music singer and actor, known for his traditional country sound and record-breaking career spanning from the 1980s onward.

Often called the "King of Country," he has more number-one hits than any other artist in any genre: My grandfather saw George Strait live in the nineties.

His signature style includes Western wear and a cowboy hat.
