Ronnie Milsap is one of country’s most successful artists, with six Grammy awards for Best Male Country Vocal performance, four CMA awards, and thirty-five #1 hits. An exemplar of the country-pop sound of the late 1970s and early 1980s, the energetic and versatile performer kept scoring hits into the youth-driven country boom of the late 1980s and early 1990s. As of 2014, Milsap had six albums certified gold by the Record Industry Association of America (RIAA). Greatest Hits Volume 2 was platinum, and Greatest Hits double-platinum. Ronnie Milsap delivers on of his biggest hits live in Branson MO.

Milsap moved to Nashville in 1972 and performed at an industry hangout, the King of the Road. In 1973, he began a long association with RCA Records. Assisted by music publisher-producer Tom Collins, Milsap started charting with country fare including “I Hate You” and “That Girl Who Waits on Tables” (1973). He won a 1974 Grammy for his chart-topping rendition of Kris Kristofferson’s “Please Don’t Tell Me How the Story Ends.” Despite Milsap’s varied output, the #1 hits “Pure Love” (1974) and “Daydreams About Night Things” (1975) positioned him as a purveyor of positive, uptempo love songs. Hits continued in 1976 (when Milsap also joined the Grand Ole Opry) with “What Goes on When the Sun Goes Down” and the Grammy-winning “(I’m a) Stand by My Woman Man.” The singer cracked the pop charts in 1977 with “It Was Almost Like a Song” and other #1 country hits. CMA’s Male Vocalist of the Year in 1974, 1976, and 1977, he was the organization’s 1977 Entertainer of the Year.

Milsap logged forty-two country Top Ten hits between 1976 and 1992, including “Back on My Mind Again” (1978–79), “I Wouldn’t Have Missed It for the World “ (1981–82), and 1981’s “There’s No Gettin’ Over Me” (another Grammy winner). The 1985 single “Lost in the Fifties Tonight (In the Still of the Night)”—which reinterpreted the 1956 Five Satins hit—displayed Milsap’s R&B roots and secured his fourth and fifth Grammys.
