With the most number one hit's in country music history, it seems like 'King' George Strait has been around forever.

But of course, every career has a beginning.

So when was it we first heard this artist, first heard the name George Strait.

Well, the man who seems to have ruled country music forever actually had his first Top Ten hit in 1981. Although it didn't go to number one, we all were hoping more good things would be coming from that new guy that was singing 'Unwound'.

So, would this new guy from Texas be one of those 'one-hit-wonders'?

Uh, no.

It was the following year that George first topped the charts, his first number one hit, a tune called 'Fool Hearted Memory'. And the rest, as they say, is history. Country music history.
