He is best known for a string of Countrypolitan hits throughout the 1980s, as well as for his hit "God Bless the USA".

Early life

After the separation of his parents, Lee grew up in Sacramento on the poultry farm of his grandparents. At the age of seven, he began playing the saxophone, and at the age of nine became a member of a dance ensemble. In 1969, he joined the Chester Smith Band and had his first television appearance. A short time later, he worked with the country musician Del Reeves.

He founded his first band, Apollo, in 1962. He briefly battled a cocaine addiction and moved to Iceland to go to rehab. The band, which changed its name later to Lee Greenwood Affair, played mostly pop music and appeared mostly in casinos in Las Vegas. A few records were recorded in Los Angeles with the Paramount label. After the band broke up in the 1970s, Greenwood moved back to Las Vegas, where he worked as a black jack dealer during the day, and as a singer at night.

Career

In 1979, he was discovered in Reno, Nev., by Larry McFaden, the bandleader and bassist of Mel Tillis. After making some demo tapes, Greenwood was signed in 1981 by the Nashville-based MCA label, and McFaden became his manager.

The first single, "It Turns Me Inside Out", made it to a spot in the top 20 of the country charts. Greenwood had written this song for Kenny Rogers, but Rogers turned it down due to the sheer volume of songs he had been offered at the time. "Ring On Her Finger and Time on her Hands" landed him in the country top 10.

He is best known for writing and recording the patriotic song "God Bless the USA" in the early 1980s. "God Bless the USA" gained renewed popularity following the launch of Operation: Desert Storm in 1991, and again, ten years later, following the September 11, 2001 attacks; in fact, the song even re-entered the Top 20 of the country charts in late 2001. Since then, Greenwood has played at many public events and commemorations of the attacks. He supports the United States Republican Party.

Theater

In 1995, Greenwood took a break from his touring schedule to spend time with his wife and newborn son. In his time off, he elected to build a theater in Sevierville, Tenn., and in April 1996, the "Lee Greenwood Theater" opened its doors. This gave Greenwood the opportunity to still perform daily shows, in addition to being with his family. The theater operated for five seasons, and closed for Greenwood to continue touring. The theater was not located in the heavily entertainment and tourist oriented areas of Pigeon Forge, Tenn., and Gatlinburg, Tenn., which contributed to the theater closing. The former theater building is now host to a church.

As an immigrant, you have no idea what this song means to me. They played this song when I became a Naturalized Citizen, I still remember the proud feeling of being an American. I later joined the US Air Force and served my country. I am truly blessed to live in the greatest country in the world. The young people in this country have no idea how lucky they are. God Bless the USA.

My whole family are immigrants and became legal citizens have fought and died from WW1 to Iraq and Afghanistan. Love this Country and what it truly stands for .especially when we have the right people in charge . They truly are demonizing everything about Patriotism and love for are Country . And definitely hateful of the Flag and are Veterans. The brave Soldiers who make the ultimate sacrifices for everyone living in America. Come home and get treated poorly. Vote to keep are freedom vote with brain and not feelings liberals

The first time I heard this song, I was only 10. It was actually the year it was released! 1984. It was played at my grandma's church. I teared up, even at 10. My dad was an active duty Navy corpsman for 21 years! He actually extended 1 year so I could graduate from the same high school I started at! I'm not sure I'll ever be able to properly thank him for that.
I am now 49 and I've never gotten tired of this song. The way it's redone for this video is just....I don't know if I can find the right word. I think you know what I'm saying, though.
Today is July 4th, 2023 and I am so proud to live in this country!!

Became a US citizen a month ago .... Biggest achievement in my life. Feel so lucky to belong to the greatest country ever.

Edit: never thought I would get so many responses. I keep reading comments and wanted to respond. Thank you all for your loving comments. I had a one hour drive from the ceremony center to my home after I got naturalized...I rolled down my windows and played this song the whole way in repeat full volume. Must have been the proudest day of my life. I was born in a a third world developing country and grew up in a theocratic monarchy which I shall leave unnamed for the first 25 years of my life before I came here for the first time. I can't express enough how much I value the freedom, rule of law, respect for human life and the oppertunity to succeed that America has given me.

I love this song, and this is an especially beautiful rendition of it. I have nothing but the utmost respect for our military and am truly grateful for the sacrifices they and their families have made. When this song first came out, I purchased it and have listened to it hundreds of times over the years. But the line that says “and I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me” always made me especially sad. Then I stumbled upon a version performed by a Christian Children’s group which had changed that line to “and I won’t forget all those who died who gave that right to me” and I loved it even more! While I know the numbers of women who served and those who died probably pale in comparison to the number of men, I still wish they had been honored by Mr. Greenwood in his writing of this song. I now own a copy of both versions. Many thanks to Lee Greenwood and all of the folks who performed in this rendition and all others. It’s songs like this that give me hope for the future!

Home Free should also be listed in the title of the video as they are the ones who did the arrangement and produced it. They were the ones who asked Lee Greenwood to collaborate on it with them and had a connection to the Singing Sergeants and got them on board as well. I know it's Lee Greenwoods song, but give Home Free more credit cause it's their video.

As an immigrant to this country I am extremely proud to be an American! It is not a perfect union; but, it is the best country in the world. I am fortunate to have the privilege to live here. I am thankful to those white strangers (the Picketts from Houston) who chose to sponsor my family and me to this Great Nation. Without their kind hearts & angelic actions, my family would have surely been facing further destitution and suffering.

Now, we live the American Dream! Our family ran successful donut shops & restaurants! Five of the six refugee children are doctors. No other country would have made this possible! Happy birthday America. thank you for all that you have done for us. We love you! Let’s make America even greater!

I first heard this song after coming back to Fort Hood, Texas after Operation Desert Storm. I was so moved when my daughters school group sag this song. To say I was emotional was very true. Freedom is a blessing granted by God's Blessing. Thank you Mr. Greenwood for this beautiful song. You have the love and respect of all true patriotic people. Peacec to all who desire freedom and a free spirit of human understanding and compassion to help others less fortunate in life. God Bless Everyone!
