    I grew up listening to Vince. I love his voice, songwriting, and musicianship. He is one of the all time greats in country music! hide show

    Vince Gill is a true performer. He writes his own songs, he sings great, and he plays: guitar, mandolin, banjo, dobro, and fiddle so so so well!!! If there was a man who was born with too much tallent it was Vince. Can't believe someone can sing well , play well, host the CMA awards 11 times, and play golf!!!!!!! That's not fair!!!!! But I could listen to his music all day. And I think I have!!!! My top 5 Vince Gill songs of all time are:

    #5: One More Last Chance
    #4: When Love Finds You
    #3: If You Ever Had Forever In Mind
    #2: A Little More Love
    and of course
    the best Vinny song of all time:
    "I Still Believe In You"
    He wrote it after a fight with his first wife Janis. It is a beautiful testiment of love and loyality and sticking by the one you love when the times get tough. His songs show many sides. The funny upbeat side of love. The pain and loss of being rejected. He is tradtional country, bluegrass, rock, and a touch of soul. Vince Gill is the greatest male singer of my generation in my book. Sorry Garth
