Request A ShowVince Gill signed a lifetime record deal with MCA, solidifying one of the longest and most successful partnerships in modern country music, reinforcing a bond that's defined for decades.
Vince Gill signed his first major label deal with RCA Records Nashville in 1983, marking the beginning of his solo career in country music.
Vincent Grant Gill was born on April 12, 1957, in Norman, Oklahoma. His father, a judge, played banjo and guitar, and his mother played harmonica, fostering an early love for music. Gill learned guitar at age five and soon picked up banjo, Dobro, fiddle, mandolin, and bass guitar during his teenage years. After high school, he founded the bluegrass band Mountain Smoke. He later joined Bluegrass Alliance and Boone Creek, with Ricky Skaggs also a member. In 1976, he moved to Los Angeles, California, and played with Byron Berline’s backing band, Sundance. In 1978, he joined the soft rock band Pure Prairie League as lead singer, recording three albums and achieving a Top 10 pop hit with “Let Me Love You Tonight.” He then moved to Nashville to pursue a solo career.
Gill signed with RCA Records Nashville in 1983, releasing a six-song extended play, “Turn Me Loose,” in 1984. This period saw him accumulate charting singles and establish himself as a prolific session musician and backing vocalist for artists like Conway Twitty, Lee Greenwood, and Rosanne Cash. His breakthrough came in 1990 after signing with MCA Nashville, releasing “When I Call Your Name.” This album solidified his reputation, winning his first Grammy Award for Best Male Country Vocal Performance and a CMA Single of the Year award. He continued this success with albums like “Pocket Full of Gold” (1991) and “I Still Believe in You” (1992), which achieved quintuple-platinum status and produced multiple number-one hits. Gill’s collaborations expanded during this time, working with Reba McEntire on “The Heart Won’t Lie” and receiving numerous awards.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Gill released several acclaimed albums, including “When Love Finds You” (1994), “High Lonesome Sound” (1996), and “The Key” (1998), which earned him additional Grammys and CMA awards. His song “Go Rest High on That Mountain,” written for Keith Whitley and his half-brother Bob Cohen, became a fan favorite. In 2007, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Gill joined the Eagles in 2017 following Glenn Frey’s passing, touring with the band and continuing to record new music, including the autobiographical album “Okie” (2019) and the “50 Years from Home” EP series.
