Lee Greenwood performing God Bless the U.S.A. is one of today’s additions to Top Country Music Videos.
Lee originally released God Bless the U.S.A. on his album titled You’ve Got a Good Love Comin’ back in 1984. At the time, it reached the number 7 spot on the charts.
The song was included on several of his albums over the years and is included on our Memorial Day country music videos tribute list.
I remember the first time I heard “God Bless The USA”. I was six years old, and it was a mid-western dusky afternoon. It was at a rodeo, and before anything began, we all stood up and listened to Lee Greenwood piped over the loudspeakers. I was awestruck at the power of song, even then. I think it’s the earliest memory I have of a song reaching down and touching my heart. It’s a feeling I can’t describe…but where the song abruptly pauses was definitely the key moment for me. I plan to write about it on our website. Thanks for your post!
These country music videos are terrific.
