Vince Gill is one of the most-awarded and legendary artists in country music history, and he was just a few years into his country career when he was invited to join the Grand Ole Opry in 1991. Gill got his start in a bluegrass group called Boone's Creek, which also featured a then-little-known picker named Ricky Skaggs. By 1984, Gill was in Nashville pursuing a career as a country solo artist, unsuccessfully at first. Gill was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry on Aug. 10, 1991, not long after the release of Pocket Full of Gold. He has since gone on to win virtually every music award imaginable, and Gill was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2007.
