In an almost unbeliev-able tally, Ronnie Milsap has had more top country hits than anyone except George Strait and the late Conway Twitty. Over his career, he has sold more than 25 million records and has had 40 #1 hits. He and I had a great conversation this week that I’ve shared with the readers of the other site I contribute to, The9513.com. Read the interview by clicking HERE…"I said, “Mr. Ray Charles, my name is Ronnie Milsap and I love your music. I emulate what you do and I’ve bought all the records I could find of yours that you’ve recorded. I’m at a little dilemma in my life. I want to be in the music business but all my counselors at school tell me I need to go on to law school.” There was a piano in the dressing room, which was convenient, and he told me to go play something. So I played him three songs and after that there was about a ten second pause. He said, “You know, you can become a lawyer if you want to, but there’s a lot of music in your heart. And if I was you, I’d follow what my heart tells me to do.”"
