Lee Greenwood won the CMA (Country Music Awards) Best Male Vocalist a 
couple of times in the 1980s. I know that because in those days I had 
a roommate who tuned the radio to a C&W station. We agreed on hating 
Lee Greenwood -- I know nothing about him as a person, but his 
singing style was crooning, not country, and he had a big hit with 
a totally cliched and badly orchestrated song "God Bless the USA" 
that he wrote himself.
