Clint Black

Member Since 1991

Prolific singer-songwriter Clint Black has long been heralded as one of Country music’s brightest stars.  His many talents have taken him even further, as Black has transcended genres to become one of the most successful artists in all the music industry.  To date, Black has written, recorded and released more than 100 songs, a benchmark in any artist’s career.  An astounding one-third of these songs eligible for major single release also achieved hit song status at Country radio, while more than 20 million of his albums have been sold worldwide.  While it’s well-known that Black is an accomplished singer and guitarist, people may be surprised to learn that he is also proficient on drums and harmonica.

Black’s continued success can be attributed in part to his deep sense of Country music history, and his humble gratitude in being an important part of it.  The 1989 debut of his critically acclaimed fan favorite, the Triple Platinum Killin’ Time boasted five #1 hits – unprecedented from a debut album in any genre – and won Black a collection of awards that included: Country Music Association Horizon Award, Country Music Association Male Vocalist of the Year, American Music Awards Favorite New Male Country Artist, Academy of Country Music Best New Male Vocalist, Academy of Country Music Best Male Vocalist, Academy of Country Music Album of the Year (Killin’ Time), and Academy of Country Music Single of the Year (“A Better Man”).

Without a doubt, Clint Black has earned his place as one of the most successful artists in the history of American music; but he has not stopped there.  Black memorably flexed his acting chops with a cameo in 1994’s  Maverick (alongside Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster), as well as with roles in films such as 2000’s Going Home (with Jason Robards) and the starring role in 1998’s Still Holding On: The Legend of Cadillac Jack.  Flicka 2 (with Patrick Warburton) – released in May 2010. Black has also performed on TV shows including The Larry Sanders Show, Las Vegas, King of the Hill, and Donald Trump’s hit reality series Celebrity Apprentice
