Gill appeared on two subsequent albums along with then-wife Janis Gill before signing as a solo with RCA Records in 1983. Gill is the lead singer on their hit song, 'Let Me Love You Tonight' (1980), which he was still performing in concert years later - thus, he said, confusing many fans who knew him only from his subsequent solo work. He debuted on the national scene with the country rock band Pure Prairie League in 1979, appearing on that band's album Can't Hold Back. After he graduated, he played in a number of bluegrass bands. He was born in Norman, Oklahoma, the home of the University of Oklahoma Sooners and learned to play several instruments, including banjo and guitar before he started high school at Oklahoma City's Northwest Classen High School. Vince Gill (born April 12, 1957) is an American country music musician, songwriter, singer and a member of the Country Music Hall Of Fame.
