 Lee
Greenwood
September 20, 2008
7:30pm
Brazosport College
celebrates its 40th anniversary with Grammy
Award winner and multi-platinum entertainer Lee
Greenwood. Greenwood is one of the most acclaimed
artists of our time. He is often identified as the
ultimate name that comes to mind when patriotism is
mentioned in the entertainment industry. Greenwood
gained his success the old-fashioned way: he earned it,
one rung up the ladder at a time. After years of
struggling to gain recognition in the music industry,
one song - “God Bless the USA” - in 1983 singularly
transported Lee Greenwood far beyond the ranks of
stardom to a niche in America’s pop culture that is
seemingly reserved for him and him alone.
