According to one bio, he won Grammy's in 1973, 1975, 1991, & 1999, with about 7 or 8 other nominations. I don't find references to other Grammy nominations, but I do find about 104 movie credits. That may be more movies than Bill's done music videos, but Bill's catching up fast. Ted — no, Gaither has won other Grammy’s.

So who's the REAL winner? Happy Tails to All Y'all. OK, BGT got the Grammy but he doesn’t have his name on a chain of fried chicken joints. So who’s the REAL winner?

Can I say "rap" on this site? It rhymes with a word considered by some to be vulgar. And many might consider "rap music" to be an oxymoron. OOPS!!! Can I say “rap” on this site?

From some of the comments we read on this sight, I'd have thought all s/g followers were much slower than that. We sure give each other a bad rap here, don't we? And that writer thought Roy & Dale should have won over the Bill Gaither Trio? I liked Roy & Dale, and their recordings, but I'd have to disagree with that author. Kinda like Grigs' comment about Gill vs Cyrus. Grigs — only 2 minutes? From some of the comments we read on this sight, I’d have thought all s/g followers were much slower than that.

Anybody who thinks drivel like "Achy Breaky Heart" should beat out anything a great artist like Vince Gill does is just goofy. Thanks, Avery, that's two minutes of my life that I'll never get back! :) You know, Pamela Furr might use questionable language on her blog, but at least she knows something about music.
