Notes |
John Michael Montgomery was born on January 20, 1965 in Danville, Kentucky. He was "discovered" by Atlantic records in 1991 playing at the Austin City Bar & Grill in Lexington. He arrived on the country music scene in 1993 with a debut album, titled "Life's A Dance," that became the only million-seller on the country charts by a new artist that year. Its title track was a number 4 hit single, and it was followed by his first country chart-topper, "I Love the Way You Love Me." The follow-up, "Kickin' It Up," hit the top spot on both the US Country and Adult Contemporary charts, and produced four more chart-topping singles: "I Swear," "Be My Baby Tonight," "If You Got Love," and "Rope the Moon." |
