Gill performing with the Eagles in 2019

Vince Gill (born 1957) is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. From 1978 to 1982, he was lead vocalist for Pure Prairie League, and sang on their hit single "Let Me Love You Tonight". Gill began a solo career in country music in 1984, recording for RCA Records Nashville until 1988 with minimal success. A year later he signed with MCA Nashville and has recorded for them since. Gill has had four solo and three collaborative number-one hits on the Billboard country music charts: "I Still Believe in You", "Don't Let Our Love Start Slippin' Away", "One More Last Chance", and "Tryin' to Get Over You", as well as "The Heart Won't Lie", "Sober Saturday Night", and "Forever Country". All of Gill's albums released in the 1990s were certified platinum or higher by the Recording Industry Association of America. He was a member of the Time Jumpers from 2010 to 2010, and joined the Eagles in 2017, in addition to holding a variety of credits as a songwriter, session musician, and backing vocalist. In 2000, he married contemporary Christian music singer Amy Grant. Gill is known for his tenor singing voice and lead guitar work. (Full article...)

• Reasons for nomination: Last country music TFA was Randy Travis on September 1 and was also largely my work. I would like to shoot for March 10 as it's both his anniversary to Amy Grant and my birthday, but just getting my second FA on the main page is good enough for me.

April 12, 2027 isn't that far off and would be his 50th birthday. Harizotoh9 (talk) 06:15, 25 February 2026 (UTC)

I've added it myself. It's just a reminder board to remind people in the future in case they forget. Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:22, 26 February 2026 (UTC)
