Vince Gill, a country music musician, has released over 20 albums and received a slew of honors, including more Grammys than any other male country performer.<\/p>\n

Gill first came to fame in 1979 while playing in the country rock band Pure Prairie League; in 2007, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n

Now, forty years later, Gill is still in great demand as a musician; he most recently shared the Grand Ole Opry stage with Little Big Town.<\/p>\n

But as he was performing, a fascinating thing happened. Gill was confronted with a conundrum as a fervent Christian, despite the prohibition on singing religious music, especially ones referencing Jesus.<\/p>\n

Gill, unfazed, decided to creatively disobey the order. He chose to sing \u201cWhy Me Lord,\u201d a soul-stirring song written by Kris Kristofferson in 1972 and notably performed by Elvis Presley and Johnny Cash, rather than abandon his faith.<\/p>\n

A standing ovation from the crowd proved that Gill\u2019s performance was powerful. His bravery in being loyal to his beliefs and artistic identity was on full display.<\/p>\n

Gill has every right to make his own choices in his proper home in the Country Music Hall of Fame!<\/p>\n
