Vince Gill is a country musician with an extraordinary history, having received the most Grammy Awards ever given to a male country music vocalist and having released more than 20 albums.

Gill, inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007, originally caught our attention in 1979 as a member of the country rock band Pure Prairie League.

Four decades later, he is a well-known and in-demand artist, having been asked to perform on the iconic Grand Ole Opry stage alongside the band Little Big Town.

But his superiors informed him he could only perform if he didn’t sing about Jesus.
ut how could anyone deny this great, bright musician the chance to play the song he desired?

The crowd erupted in reaction to his remark. Gill, who was born in Oklahoma in 1957, went solo in the 1980s. In recent years, the devoted Christian has included more gospel music in his performances.
