Charlie Major

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charlie Major is a Canadian Country singer, often considered Canada's version of Garth Brooks, an American Country singer.

Through the mid-’90s, he’d won the Juno Award as Country Male Vocalist of the Year – three years in a row. There were five major Canadian Country Music Association awards, songwriting honours from SOCAN, and a BMI Award in 1993 for “Backroads” as the “Most Performed Song in America.”

Major's most prominent years, in which he turned out a double platinum album, another platinum one, and another which went gold. There was a raft of hit singles — no less than 10 of which went to #1 on the charts. A Charlie Major live gig was a feel-good collection of songs like “I’m Gonna Drive You Out of My Mind,” “I’m Feeling Kind of Lucky Tonight,” “(I Do It) For the Money,” “I’m Somebody” and a couple of dozen more.
