A troubadour is a traveling poet/musician. Jesse James was an old west outlaw who was also a self-promoter. When he robbed a train, he wanted everyone to know his name. The message of the song is that he hasn't changed, he is who he is. George is still married to his high school sweetheart, and I'm told is a very humble man. As we say in the Deep South, George is a good ole boy!
We don't call him King George for nothing! He is filming on his ranch and it is a fully functional working ranch! He is a legend, icon and country royalty to his fans! Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed your reaction! Love from Texas🤠🤠🤠
King George has a ton of Number 1 songs, been married to his wife for decades and has the best band (Ace in The Hole Band) in the world. What a stand up guy! Please MORE GEORGE!
George has 44 #1 country songs on Billboard, the former record. Madonna now has 47 #1 dance songs on Billboard. But George has 60 if we count the Mediabase chart. Not sure if that would bump up Madonna’s total.
My favorites from King George are So Much Like My Dad; I Cross My Heart; You Look So Good In Love; Love Without End, Amen; Carrying Your Love With Me; The Cowboy Rides Away; What’s Going On In Your World; Today My World Slipped Away; When Did You Stop Loving Me; I’d Like To Have That One Back; The Best Day; and I Know She Still Loves Me.
You guys just lifted the lid on greatness. George has been consistently at the top of the charts since 1981, and I have enjoyed his music since day one. With over 60 #1 hits, more than any artist in any genre, he is referred to as King George. As far as what you should listen to next, I would suggest his break out hit "Unwound" from 1981, then whatever else you find. There aren't any bad George Strait songs.
This is a teaching opportunity that I would like to exploit. Mr. Strait, like myself, is from south Texas and the real thing in that he, too, was raised on a cattle ranch and is not, as the saying goes, "All hat and no cattle." It is important to mention at this point that he had been singing in dance halls in and around Texas for years before having his first recording published and released in 1981. Prior to that time, there had been on the radio, "Country and Western" music and there were "C&W" clubs and dance halls too. Great vocalists from Texas like Dan Seals, Paul Davis and elsewhere, including Michael Martin Murphey, were told to "...loose the hat!" They did and experienced success, in the 1970s, as vocalists singing popular romantic songs with orchestrations not unlike modern interpretations of compositions for Sinatra, Martin, Como and Andy Williams of the 50s and 60s. Thus, Western music was relegated to the trash heap of modern radio played music. It as about 1980 when all that changed...in a big way! Radio stations no longer played "Western" music like Marty Robbins great western hits like "Saddle Tramp," "Tumblin' Tumble Weeds" or "El Paso." Radio stations stopped calling themselves "Country and Western" but simply "Country music stations." However, this movement which reportedly began in Nashville, disenfranchised Texas artists like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson and more and together they began what became known as the "Outlaw Country" music movement. They refused to be what the Nashville publishers wanted of them and went on to play music they enjoyed and that praised Texas and the south west. They also praised their predecessors of the 40s and 50s including Ernest Tubb and Bob Wills who were famous for "Western Swing" which was dance music so popular in all over Texas and nearby states. At the start of the 1980s, those artists who had previously put away their hats, put them back on and went on to have great success in Country music and with more than a few Western music songs including Dan Seals who, with his hat on, recorded hits like "Meet me in Montana" with the beautiful and talented Marie Osmond and "Everything that Glitters in Not Gold" and the retro sounding dance song, "Bop!" Paul Davis recorded an album of western hits and Michael Martin Murphey who had recorded a beautifully orchestrated song entitled "Wildfire!" which had been a popular music hit in the late 1970s leveraged that success to build a truly great western music singing and touring career with several western music hits including, "Tie Knots in the Devil's Tail," "Red River Valley" and the fun song "Cowboy Logic." It is my opinion that the unknown singer from south Texas named George Strait, who refused to "....loose the hat" and who had his first country music hit in 1981, served as the catalyst for these older artists to express more fully themselves and opened doors for a whole new set of artists including Garth Brooks, Mark Chesnutt, Clint Black, Toby Keith and Alan Jackson, all of them wearing hats! All of these artists went on to have many great country music hits and many of them included in their albums at least one classic western music hit including George Strait. Singing in Spanish went away in 1980 with Western music where it had been previously appreciated. Without a radio venue, Tejano artists sought, like Willie and Waylon, to publish their own music and charter their own radio stations with "Tejano" music. Many singing artists from Texas have had great success in Country and Western music but only a few had success singing in Spanish which includes Marty Robbins, Freddy Fender, Johnny Rodriguez, Emilio Navaira and George Strait who sang the classic Mexican romantic song, "El Rey" with beautifully articulated Spanish. Thus, Mr. Strait, who now resides outside San Antonio, did much more than have more number one hits than any other American recording artist, more than 60, he helped to preserve Western music and Western Muisc sung in Spanish as well. I encourage you to continue this journey into country AND western music and also enjoy some "Cajun" music from our good neighbors in Louisiana and "Tejano" music from my relatives in south Texas, neighbors with Mr. Strait.
George Subbed for Eddie Rabbit, who had gotten sick, in the early 1980's at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in the Astro Dome. This song reminds me of that night because he rode in on a horse and circled all the way that big arena and people went crazy. my wife and I were in our early thirties. We danced to many of his songs in Czech Halls and Kights of Columbus Halls to bands that covered his songs for years. Great times back then and before then. Thanks for this song.
The picture of him sitting at the piano is with his daughter Jennifer. She was killed by a drunk driver when she was 12. It happened right as George was getting famous.
He lives in the same place he grew up on. He married the girl he met in elementary school. They eloped to Mexico to get married. He then joined the army the rest is history.
He’s an Army veteran, real cowboy and the King of Country Music. 60 number #1 songs more than any artist of any genre. You cannot go wrong with George.
King George lives, owns, and works on a ranch in Texas about 200 miles North of where I live. He is a "working cowboy on his ranch" much of it done on a horse. Look below my post to see all his awards for singing, and like they all say, He is a helluva nice guy.
George is a real cowboy and that is him in the pictures/video riding his horse. I’ve loved this song since I first heard it!❤ Back in the 1950’s in country music they would refer to singers as troubadours. That word is actually a really old word that used to be used a lot but after the 1950’s and 1960’s just kind of faded away.
George Strait is a Real Texas Cowboy, he's got a Roping Team that Trains right here in San Antonio, Texas at The San Antonio Rose Palace. He's a real down to earth Texan,met him a couple of times during Rodeo season, once in Ft.Worth,and once in Houston. George Strait is one of a Kind !!
King George has so many great songs. But he has one of the most popular love songs ever called Cross My Heart from the movie Pure Country. It remains one of most requested wedding songs over 20 years after it came out.
George Strait suffered the worst nightmare a parent can have. On June 25, 1986 his 13 year old daughter Jenifer died in a car accident. He has two songs dedicated to her; Baby Blue and You'll Be There, as well as the Jenifer Strait Memorial Foundation which promotes charitable causes for children.
This video reflected on his life. This song was song at the end of all his concerts on his Farewell Tour. He also did Team Roping in the Rodeo in his younger days. He has a movie that he stars in called Pure Country that is pretty good also.
George Strait is one of my favorite country artists. Also, since you have listened to Pentatonix and Home Free, you really need to hear VoicePlay as well. They have several very good songs.
Amarillo by Morning, Check Yes or No, Where the Sidewalk Ends.. Hell they guy has a 50 #1's album. You can't really go wrong with anything he has ever sang. Wrapped is a great one. Baby Blue is about a daughter he lost in a car wreck I believe. God bless
Baby Blue was not written about his lost daughter... George only recorded the song (I am sure he had his daughter in mind when he sings it though)... It was written by Aaron Barker...
I went to the George Straight, Merle Haggard and Alabama concert in 1987 February. It was just after George lost his daughter. My girl friend at the time took me right before I went into the Marines. Her mother was a backup singer for Alabama I had no idea and she took me back stage. That is when Merle gave me a shot of Jack and said if you're old enough to die for me boy you're old enough to drink with me. Needless to say I took the shot, nearly puked my guts out but I stood tall. Jack is still my drink and I still remember Merle and George picking the guitar together backstage....
A troubadour was a composer and performer of Old Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100-1350). Since the word troubadour is etymologically masculine, a female troubadour is usually called a trobairitz. The troubadour school or tradition began in the late 11th century in Occitania, but it subsequently spread to the Italian and Iberian Peninsulas.
A troubador is a musician who travels from town to town promoting their newest albums. All while living out of a suitcase.. sometimes famous, sometimes not. Often thought of as only country artists, the term fits any performer
All respect to King George and SOOO many other great artists I've grown up listenin to and still enjoy. That bein said, I'd love to see a reaction or two to a artist that I've not seen get much recognition from reactors across the board......Clint Black. A few gooduns of his.....When My Ship Comes In, When I Said I Do (duet with his wife) and We Tell Ourselves. Any of his is a good pick, but I'd say these are my top 3 picks.
Great Reaction..... "Troubadour" comes from Midevil times.... Means Traveling Poet/Singer/Performer..... George Strait is considered the "King of Country..... 61 #1 Hits...... Some Include "All my Ex's Live in Texas", "The Chair", "Ocean Front Property", "Check Yes or No", "I Cross my Heart", "You Look So Good in Love"......
In a traditional sense, a troubadour was a French poet and singer. Applied to modern context the word can encompass a travelling storyteller and entertainer, typically a poet, comic, or musician.
King George actually has 60 #1 songs, not 50. He can make you laugh; He can make you cry, He can make you think. This is one of my favs because of the clips when he was young, both singing & rodeoing. I dated a cowboy from Texas in the 80's (I am from Michigan) & he introduced me to George. Never liked country beyond Kenny Rogers & a few old Johnny Cash, prior to that. A troubadour is like a traveling poet/entertainer, which is why George 'rode in on a song'. They have been around for centuries. Country is about the story & you can see what logically is coming next in the lyrics, if you are really listening to the story. Suggestions are 'You look so good in love', maybe a silly one from early in his career, 'All my exes live in Texas' or 'Oceanfront property', 'I saw God today is beautiful' & my fav is one with weird timing, called 'The chair'. It is simple but like this one, just mellow.
A beautiful one is "I Saw God Today", there's a tribute to his daughter called "Baby Blue" and my one of my favorites "Run" (Take a Chevy!). I also like "So Much Like My Dad". The real cowboy songs like "Amarillo By Morning" and "I Can Still Make Cheyenne". Cheeky pick-up songs like "The Fireman" and "The Chair", love songs like "Check Yes or No" and "I Cross My Heart" and a whole pile of sad lonesome "she left me" songs...all worth a listen
George has so many good songs in his repertoire. Please play "The Chair." Another artist you may not know about is Timo Yuro. Please react to "What's A Matter Baby."
Hey guys great reaction show I'm a older country music fan enjoy the traditional country music from the early years 50's- early 90- after that country music as it is today isn't really good music to me, but everyone likes what sounds good to them, but as for George Strait, he is one of the best in country music, there is a really good traditional country song of his I think you will enjoy called "WHEN DID YOU STOP LOVING ME" check it out when you get a chance. Thanks
Amarillo By Morning, Check Yes or No, You Look So Good in Love, Marina Del Rey, the list is almost endless. Keep em coming, you can't go wrong w any of them but these few seem to be the way to go down this rabbit hole imo.
George will be seventy in a few weeks. He conducts himself as a family man; something that many country singers fail .( U am referring to you: Garth Brooks, Vinnce Fill and Blake Shelton.) George and his wide, Norma have been married for over fifty years, known each other since their school days and endured many marital and personal shards j ips; including the death of their teen daughter, Jennifer. These are a few of my reasons for being a fan of George Strait.
This man has two totally different songs but identical titles, and if I'm not mistaken, both were #1's. She'll Leave You with a Smile. But you should check out Ocean Front Property
A troubadour in the Middle Ages were knights who said poetry( texts of troubadour songs deal mainly with themes of chivalry and courtly love). But for George Strait (the cowboy way is better lol)
From Merriam-Webster troubadour 1. : one of a class of lyric poets and poet-musicians often of knightly rank who flourished from the 11th to the end of the 13th century chiefly in the south of France and the north of Italy and whose major theme was courtly love compare trouvère. 2. : a singer especially of folk songs. He is using definition 2

Dang right! Never be another'n like ol George. Him, Alan Jackson and Brooks and Dunn carried the team in their time, to me.
@@singlechristiancowboy Mark Chesnutt and Sammy Kershaw, too.
@@davidfrischknecht8261 yessir
S troubadour is a writer of sad songs as the definition says
@@singlechristiancowboy Chris Ledoux also
The song came from a movie pure country good mov George is the king of country!!
One of my favorite George Straght songs.
It's an extremly likable song, great melody, amazing voice
Simplest definition of troubadour: A passionate Poet.
The king of country 😊
George is a living legend, who started in county music in 1981.
We don't call him King George for nothing! He is filming on his ranch and it is a fully functional working ranch! He is a legend, icon and country royalty to his fans! Thanks for sharing. Really enjoyed your reaction! Love from Texas🤠🤠🤠
This is why we call him KING GEORGE!!!
King George has a ton of Number 1 songs, been married to his wife for decades and has the best band (Ace in The Hole Band) in the world. What a stand up guy! Please MORE GEORGE!
Apparently it's over 60 #1's?! Wild!
Yes no other artist in any genre ever has more number ones
George has 44 #1 country songs on Billboard, the former record. Madonna now has 47 #1 dance songs on Billboard. But George has 60 if we count the Mediabase chart. Not sure if that would bump up Madonna’s total.
George has over 60 number 1 hits and he's been married to his wife Norma for 50 years
FAKE AS FUCK!!!!! JONES IS THE ONLY KING!!!!!!
George is my all time favorite, you will NEVER go wrong checking his music out!! L E G E N D
God bless Texas
Troubadour - a poet-musician. And there is a reason for being called “King George”…60 #1 hits!
My favorites from King George are So Much Like My Dad; I Cross My Heart; You Look So Good In Love; Love Without End, Amen; Carrying Your Love With Me; The Cowboy Rides Away; What’s Going On In Your World; Today My World Slipped Away; When Did You Stop Loving Me; I’d Like To Have That One Back; The Best Day; and I Know She Still Loves Me.
Back in the day during the 80's and 90's when Tejano music was big in Texas George was embraced by the Hispanic community for his great music.
George IS country music.
You have 60 #1 hits to explore. Been listening to him since 1981....my playlist has all of them and I never tire of listening to him.
George Strait is a rancher. He is a team roper. He will be 71 this year and still has it.
George just turned 72yrs old in May, and he's still going strong today!
A Troubadour was an old travelling minstrel/ singer back in the middle ages. Fast forward, a singer/musician on tour or playing honky tonks.
We Need More George!! Y’alls reaction was so genuine!
Thank you! We have some more coming down the road for sure!
King George!! 60 #1 Hits.
Y’all must read his accomplishments to understand! King of Country, King of Texas!
Shout out to Vince Gill on the high harmonies in the background.

Troubadour is a traveling singing story teller.
George Strait, "Weight of the Badge" is a super touching sound respecting our first responders! I luv your reactions, Thank you!
"Run" and "She'll Leave You With A Smile" are 2 of my favs. Also Check Yes or No.

One of George’s best older songs
STRAIT country!!! Yes please!!!! More more.
He's the King of country and he's a real life cowboy who can rope and ride. They have the George Strait roping competition
George Strait song “If I Know Me” will hit you in the heart and you realize how true that song is.
The king of country
If you haven't already he put out a song "baby blue" after loosing his young daughter to a tragic accident. Such a heartbreaking time.
George Subbed for Eddie Rabbit, who had gotten sick, in the early 1980's at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo in the Astro Dome. This song reminds me of that night because he rode in on a horse and circled all the way that big arena and people went crazy. my wife and I were in our early thirties.

Love seeing young people understanding this fantastic story!!!

Love George Straight!❤❤
60+ number 1 songs in his career actually saw him in 2009 in tampa what a show
He’s an Army veteran, real cowboy and the King of Country Music. 60 number #1 songs more than any artist of any genre. You cannot go wrong with George.
King George lives, owns, and works on a ranch in Texas about 200 miles North of where I live. He is a "working cowboy on his ranch" much of it done on a horse. Look below my post to see all his awards for singing, and like they all say, He is a helluva nice guy.

All of Georges songs are great
My Favorite George Strait Song.
Glad you discovered The King...please check out I CROSS MY HEART (by him) one of the most beautiful song written (my opinion)
King George has so many great songs. But he has one of the most popular love songs ever called Cross My Heart from the movie Pure Country. It remains one of most requested wedding songs over 20 years after it came out.
Thanks for the reaction!
GOAT.
One of his early songs that was a sleeper in “If You’re Thinkin’ you want a Stranger”… just sayin’
Ooo! Pure Country George Strait's in that good movie
George Strait suffered the worst nightmare a parent can have. On June 25, 1986 his 13 year old daughter Jenifer died in a car accident. He has two songs dedicated to her; Baby Blue and You'll Be There, as well as the Jenifer Strait Memorial Foundation which promotes charitable causes for children.

Sam your a beautiful young lady and thank you for making my eyes happy
This is one of my favorites of his. Thanks for the video.
If you all are planning on going down the George Strait rabbit hole, I gotta be here for that. Subscribed.
Thx for coming along!
King George of Texas🇨🇱
George Strait is one of my favorite country artists. Also, since you have listened to Pentatonix and Home Free, you really need to hear VoicePlay as well. They have several very good songs.
Amarillo by Morning, Check Yes or No, Where the Sidewalk Ends.. Hell they guy has a 50 #1's album. You can't really go wrong with anything he has ever sang. Wrapped is a great one. Baby Blue is about a daughter he lost in a car wreck I believe. God bless
Baby Blue was not written about his lost daughter... George only recorded the song (I am sure he had his daughter in mind when he sings it though)... It was written by Aaron Barker...
Yeah, that is said a lot but it wasn't written about his daughter but he has said he thinks about her when he sings it.
I went to the George Straight, Merle Haggard and Alabama concert in 1987 February. It was just after George lost his daughter. My girl friend at the time took me right before I went into the Marines. Her mother was a backup singer for Alabama I had no idea and she took me back stage.

Needless to say I took the shot, nearly puked my guts out but I stood tall. Jack is still my drink and I still remember Merle and George picking the guitar together backstage....
Classic Country. He doesn't make a bad song.
if your gonna do more George Strait id recommend the fireman, its older but a good one
A troubadour was a composer and performer of Old Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100-1350). Since the word troubadour is etymologically masculine, a female troubadour is usually called a trobairitz.
The troubadour school or tradition began in the late 11th century in Occitania, but it subsequently spread to the Italian and Iberian Peninsulas.
To give you an idea, he was known as "King George". A traveler telling stories by poetry and song, like the one George rode in on. ; )
Pure County movie. A must watch
A troubador is a musician who travels from town to town promoting their newest albums. All while living out of a suitcase.. sometimes famous, sometimes not. Often thought of as only country artists, the term fits any performer
Great reaction two very nice people
My favorite song of George is Cross my heart
All respect to King George and SOOO many other great artists I've grown up listenin to and still enjoy. That bein said, I'd love to see a reaction or two to a artist that I've not seen get much recognition from reactors across the board......Clint Black. A few gooduns of his.....When My Ship Comes In, When I Said I Do (duet with his wife) and We Tell Ourselves. Any of his is a good pick, but I'd say these are my top 3 picks.
If I may make a suggestion, do a movie review of "Pure Country"! I think y'all would really enjoy it!!
He is called King George in county music
Great Reaction..... "Troubadour" comes from Midevil times.... Means Traveling Poet/Singer/Performer.....
George Strait is considered the "King of Country.....
61 #1 Hits...... Some Include "All my Ex's Live in Texas", "The Chair", "Ocean Front Property", "Check Yes or No", "I Cross my Heart", "You Look So Good in Love"......
61?!?!
Good luck getting out, if you start down the George Strait rabbit hole, he has a LOT of great hits.
His version of Amarillo By Morning is by far the best!!
In a traditional sense, a troubadour was a French poet and singer. Applied to modern context the word can encompass a travelling storyteller and entertainer, typically a poet, comic, or musician.
It's nice seeing Sam being more involved in reacting 👏👏👏👏👏👏
King George actually has 60 #1 songs, not 50. He can make you laugh; He can make you cry, He can make you think. This is one of my favs because of the clips when he was young, both singing & rodeoing. I dated a cowboy from Texas in the 80's (I am from Michigan) & he introduced me to George. Never liked country beyond Kenny Rogers & a few old Johnny Cash, prior to that. A troubadour is like a traveling poet/entertainer, which is why George 'rode in on a song'. They have been around for centuries. Country is about the story & you can see what logically is coming next in the lyrics, if you are really listening to the story. Suggestions are 'You look so good in love', maybe a silly one from early in his career, 'All my exes live in Texas' or 'Oceanfront property', 'I saw God today is beautiful' & my fav is one with weird timing, called 'The chair'. It is simple but like this one, just mellow.
A beautiful one is "I Saw God Today", there's a tribute to his daughter called "Baby Blue" and my one of my favorites "Run" (Take a Chevy!). I also like "So Much Like My Dad". The real cowboy songs like "Amarillo By Morning" and "I Can Still Make Cheyenne". Cheeky pick-up songs like "The Fireman" and "The Chair", love songs like "Check Yes or No" and "I Cross My Heart" and a whole pile of sad lonesome "she left me" songs...all worth a listen
76
You shoukd listen to "The Chair". Its a really short and sweet kind of love song. Its one of my very favorites!
Troubadour is a word from WAY back and it’s a traveling minstrel or entertainer.
Highly Recommend- Run
Hardly anything other than Winchester or Jack Daniel's can be classified more "American" than George Strait.
George has so many good songs in his repertoire. Please play "The Chair."
Another artist you may not know about is Timo Yuro. Please react to "What's A Matter Baby."
Gorge Strait Here for a good time
Hey guys great reaction show I'm a older country music fan enjoy the traditional country music from the early years 50's- early 90- after that country music as it is today isn't really good music to me, but everyone likes what sounds good to them, but as for George Strait, he is one of the best in country music, there is a really good traditional country song of his I think you will enjoy called "WHEN DID YOU STOP LOVING ME" check it out when you get a chance. Thanks
This song is my ringtone 😁👍
Amarillo By Morning, Check Yes or No, You Look So Good in Love, Marina Del Rey, the list is almost endless. Keep em coming, you can't go wrong w any of them but these few seem to be the way to go down this rabbit hole imo.
George will be seventy in a few weeks. He conducts himself as a family man; something that many country singers fail .( U am referring to you: Garth Brooks, Vinnce Fill and Blake Shelton.) George and his wide, Norma have been married for over fifty years, known each other since their school days and endured many marital and personal shards j ips; including the death of their teen daughter, Jennifer. These are a few of my reasons for being a fan of George Strait.
I used to hit rodeos where he sang, along with delivering steers to his roping classic in Texas.
My favorite "The Chair"
George has so many hits, please react to George Strait Cross my Heart & Love without an Amen.
Thank you
Amarillo by Morning , Cheyenne, the Chair, All My Exes Live In Texas, Oceanfront Property, I Cross my Heart
This man has two totally different songs but identical titles, and if I'm not mistaken, both were #1's. She'll Leave You with a Smile. But you should check out Ocean Front Property
In the cowboy days a troubadour was a cowpoke that rode his horse and carried a guitar and bingo you got a traveling singer
Look into The movie Pure Country because George Strait He stared in it.
A troubadour in the Middle Ages were knights who said poetry( texts of troubadour songs deal mainly with themes of chivalry and courtly love). But for George Strait (the cowboy way is better lol)
The King
George will be 71 on May 17th, a troubadour is a singer
