Melvin Lee Greenwood was born on October 27, 1942, in South Gate, California. His early life involved moving to his maternal grandparents’ sharecropper farm in Sacramento after his parents’ separation during World War II. He started singing in church at age seven and developed a strong interest in music, learning to play nearly all instruments in his school orchestra by age 14. Despite not serving in the military, he obtained a 3A deferment due to becoming a father at 17. He founded his first band, The Apollos, in 1962, which later became Lee Greenwood Affair, primarily playing pop music in Las Vegas casinos. After joining the Chester Smith Band in 1969 and working with Del Reeves, he made his first television appearance. Following the breakup of his band in the 1970s, Greenwood relocated to Las Vegas, working as a blackjack dealer while performing as a singer at night.
Greenwood’s career began to solidify in 1979 when he was discovered in Reno by Larry McFaden, the bandleader for Mel Tillis. This led to a recording contract with MCA Records’ Nashville division in 1981, with McFaden becoming his manager. His debut single, “It Turns Me Inside Out,” reached the top 20 of the country chart in 1981, followed by “Ring on Her Finger, Time on Her Hands” in the country top 10. In 1983, he gained significant recognition with his song “I.O.U.,” which became a top-five hit on adult contemporary charts and reached number 53 on the Billboard Hot 100. The iconic “God Bless the U.S.A.,” released in 1984, cemented his legacy, achieving renewed popularity during the Gulf War in 1991 and after the September 11 attacks, becoming his highest-charting pop hit at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Overall, Greenwood has charted 33 singles on the Hot Country Songs, with seven reaching number one, and has sold over 25 million records worldwide.
