Milsap's legendary career, which includes more than 35 million albums sold and over 40 No. 1 hits, has earned him plenty of accolades. He's won six Grammy Awards, five ACM Awards and eight CMA Awards, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year Award in 1977. The legendary tunesmith was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1976 and received the prestigious Career Achievement Award at the 2006 Country Radio Seminar.
He became country music's first successful blind singer, and one of the most successful and versatile country "crossover" singers of his time, appealing to both country and pop music markets with hit songs that incorporated pop, R&B, and rock and roll elements. His biggest crossover hits include "It Was Almost Like a Song", "Smoky Mountain Rain", "(There's) No Gettin' Over Me", "I Wouldn't Have Missed It for the World", "Any Day Now", and "Stranger in My House". He is credited with six Grammy Awards and forty No. 1 country hits, third to George Strait and Conway Twitty.
In 2014, he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
