This question is about George Strait who's receiving the Billboard Legend of Live Award in November. What was George's first paying gig in country music? And, what was the name of the group he was performing with at the time?
By the way, after that performance, the group told George that he wasn't country enough and let him go! Can you believe that?!?! They definitely made a BIG mistake!
Answer: George Strait's first paying gig in country music was with the group The Country Kings in Hawaii in the early '70s while he was in the army.
