Background notes
Archive material and source history
Lee Greenwood was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas in 1943. He started playing music in California honky-tonks in the 1960s with a band called The Greenwood Singers. In 1979, he signed with MCA Records and released his debut album 'It Turns Me On,' which included the single 'She's Lying.'
In 1984, Greenwood wrote 'God Bless the USA,' which became a patriotic anthem. The song was inspired by the film 'The Right Stuff' and its release coincided with a wave of national pride. Some critics called the song jingoistic, but Greenwood defended it as an expression of his love for the country.
Greenwood recorded other songs like 'Dixie Road' and 'Somebody's Gonna Love You' throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. He was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry and received the Academy of Country Music's Pioneer Award. His band included musicians like guitarist Mike Joyce and keyboardist Bill Payne.
