ʻO Tim McGraw kekahi o nā mele kaulana loa o ʻAmelika, nā haku mele a me nā mea keaka. Mai kona hoʻomaka ʻana i kāna ʻoihana mele,
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Tim i nā album studio 14, ua ʻike ʻia ua piʻi lākou a pau ma ka pakuhi ʻo Top Country Albums.
Hānau ʻia a hānai ʻia ma Delhi, Louisiana, ua pāʻani ʻo Tim i nā haʻuki e like me ka basketball a me ka baseball. Ua pāʻani maikaʻi ʻo ia i ka baseball a ua hāʻawi ʻia ʻo ia i kahi haʻawina i ke Kulanui ʻo Northeheast Louisiana.
Akā naʻe, ua hoʻopau koke ʻo ia i kāna ʻoihana pōhili, a ua haʻalele ʻo ia i kāna mau moemoeā e lilo i mea hoʻokani pīhili ʻoihana.
Ma ke ʻano he haumāna, hoʻomaka ʻo Tim i ka hoʻokani pila a hoʻokani ma nā wahi liʻiliʻi e loaʻa kālā.
Ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ke kulanui no ka ʻimi ʻana i kāna mau makemake, a i ka makahiki 1993 ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kāna album poʻo inoa ponoʻī, i loaʻa maikaʻi ʻole ʻia e ka poʻe hoʻohewa a me nā mea aloha mele.
Akā e hoʻomaka ana ʻo Tim a ua paʻakikī ʻo ia i ka hana ma kāna album studio ʻelua ʻAʻole i kahi manawa koke. Ua lilo ka album i mea lanakila nui a ua hoʻohuli ʻo Tim i hōkū maoli.
I kēia manawa ua hoʻokuʻu mua ka mea pena kiʻi i nā mele mele 14, a me lākou ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia iā ia iho kekahi o nā mea hoʻokani mele kaulana loa o ka ʻāina i nā manawa āpau.
ʻO wai ʻo Tim McGraw?
Hānau ʻia ʻo Mei 1, 1967 ma Delhi, Louisiana, ʻo Tim McGraw kahi mele mele ʻāina ʻAmelika nona nā album a me nā mele e hoʻomau mau ana i nā papa mele, e hoʻolilo iā ia i kekahi o nā mea pena kaulana loa.
Ua male ʻo ia me ka mea mele ʻo Faith Hill, ʻo kāna mau mele kaulana ʻo "Indian Outlaw," "Do not Take the Girl," "I Like It, I Love It," a me "Live Like You Were Dying."
ʻOpio
ʻO Tim McGraw kekahi o nā hōkū "Young Country" kaulana loa i nā makahiki 1990.
Ua kaulana ʻo ia no kona leo kiʻekiʻe, a me kona hiki ke hoʻāla i nā ʻano manaʻo like ʻole, mai ka lele ʻana i nā leo hula a i nā pila puʻuwai.
E like me kāna haʻi ʻana iā David Zimmerman ma USA Today, "He nui ka poʻe e hiki ke ʻohi i ke kīkā a hīmeni iā ʻoe i kahi mele maikaʻi loa, akā he kakaikahi wale nō ka poʻe hiki ke haʻi iā ʻoe i ko lākou manaʻo maoli. “
Ua ulu ʻo Tim me ka manaʻo ʻo ke kāne a kona makuahine, ʻo Horace Smith, he mea hoʻokele kaʻa, ʻo ia kona makuakāne, akā ʻaʻole ia ka hihia.
Ua haʻalele lāua i ka wā ʻeiwa mau makahiki ʻo McGraw, a ma hope mai ua neʻe pinepine ʻo ia me kona makuahine a puni ʻo Richland County.
I kekahi lā ma hope o kona neʻe ʻana i loko, i ka piha ʻana o kona mau makahiki he 11, ua wehe ʻo ia i kahi pahu i loaʻa kahi palapala hānau i kapa ʻia ka inoa o kona makuakāne maoli a helu ʻia ʻo "mea pāʻani baseball".
Ua hōʻike hope ʻia kona makuahine ua loaʻa iā ia kahi aloha kauwela pōkole me Toug McGraw, ʻo ia ka mea e pāʻani ana i nā liona liʻiliʻi. Akā naʻe, haʻalele koke ʻo ia iā ia a male ʻo ia iā Smith i ka piha ʻana o kāna keiki i ʻehiku mahina.
Ua hana ʻo Thug McGraw i kona inoa me ka New York Mets a me ka Philadelphia Phillies.
Ma ka 1970s mua, ʻo ia ka mea pāʻani kiʻekiʻe loa a kaulana loa i ka baseball ʻoihana.
Ua hui ʻo McGraw iā ia i hoʻokahi manawa ma kahi pāʻani ma Houston, akā ʻaʻole makemake nui kona makuakāne ola e mālama i kahi pilina pili.
Ua male ka hōkū baseball a ma ia manawa he ʻelua mau keiki hou, ʻoiai ua haʻalele ʻo ia me kāna wahine i ka makahiki 1988.
Ua huhū mua ʻo McGraw i kona makuakāne no ke kākoʻo ʻole iā ia, akā ua kala ʻo ia iā ia, me ka haʻi ʻana iā Steve Dougherty lāua ʻo Meg Grant i People, "He 22 mau makahiki a ʻaʻole ʻo ia i ka wā i hana ʻia ai."
ʻO ka mea hoʻohenehene, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo McGraw i ke kāleka baseball a kona makuakāne ma ka paia o kona lumi moe ma mua o kona ʻike ʻana ʻo ia kona makuakāne.
Nā mana mele mua
ʻOiai ua ulu ʻo ia ma Start, he kūlanakauhale liʻiliʻi ma Richland County, ua hoʻohana ʻo ia i ka manawa nui ma ke alanui ma ke kaʻa o ka huila 18 a Smith.
Ma ke kaʻa, hīmeni ʻo ia me nā mea pena kiʻi ʻāina e like me Charlie Pride, Johnny Paycheck a me George Jones. "I koʻu piha ʻana i ʻeono makahiki," wahi a McGraw, "Ua manaʻo wau ua ʻike wau i nā huaʻōlelo o kēlā me kēia album a Merle Haggard i hoʻopaʻa ai."
ʻOiai ua pāʻani ʻo ia i ka liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi i kona wā kamaliʻi, i ka manawa i hele ai ʻo ia i ke kulanui, ua haʻalele ʻo McGraw i kāna mau moemoeā e lilo i mea hoʻokani pila ʻoihana e like me kona makuakāne.
I kona wā ʻelemakule ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Monroe Christian, hui hou ʻo ia me Toug McGraw, nāna i ʻae e uku no kāna hoʻonaʻauao kulanui. Ua puka 'o McGraw mai ke kumu kula ma 1985.
Ma hope koke iho, ua hoʻololi ʻo ia i kona inoa hope i ka inoa o kona makuakāne ola, ʻoiai ke hoʻomau nei ʻo ia i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kona makuakāne ʻo Smith ʻo kona makuakāne maoli.
Ua hoʻoholo koke ʻo ia e haʻalele i ke kula a hoʻāʻo i kāna laki ma Nashville. Ua ʻōlelo kona makuakāne iā ia e hoʻopau mua i ke kula, akā ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo McGraw iā ia ua haʻalele ʻo ia mai ke kulanui no ka baseball.
Ua kākoʻo mau kona makuakāne iā ia ʻoiai ʻo ia e hoʻāʻo e hana i kahi ʻoihana.
ʻO ka hahau mua a me ka hoʻopaʻapaʻa
I ke komo ʻana i Music City i Mei 1989, liʻiliʻi ka ʻike huakaʻi a McGraw a ʻaʻohe mea pili. Akā ua mākaukau ka ʻoihana no nā kāne leo leo maikaʻi, a ua hoʻokō ʻo ia i ka laina mele ma nā hui ʻo Printers Alley.
I loko o hoʻokahi makahiki a me ka hapa, ua kau inoa ʻo ia i kahi ʻaelike me Curb Records.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kāna album inoa ponoʻī mua ma ʻApelila 1993, akā he flop.
No ka loaʻa ʻana o ka manaʻo, ua hoʻouna ka lepili iā McGraw i ka huakaʻi me kā lākou hui, ʻo ka Dance Hall Doctors, a ua loaʻa ka mahalo nui i kāna hana ola.
Me nā puʻupuʻu mana a me nā pāʻina pāʻina e like me Steve Miller's Joker, ua ʻike ʻo ia i kāna mau mea hoʻolohe.
I Pepeluali 1994, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo McGraw i ka mea hoʻokahi "Indian Outlaw", i lele koke i loko o nā palapala o ka ʻāina a lilo i mea kaulana loa.
Eia nō naʻe, ua loaʻa iā ia ke kūlana mea hou ʻole a ua huki ʻia ka pane ikaika mai ka poʻe he nui i ʻike ʻino i nā ʻAmelika ʻAmelika.
Aia nā mele i nā laina e like me "He kanaka hewa au no India" a me nā laina e like me "Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa iaʻu i loko o koʻu wigwam / e hahau ʻia au ma koʻu tom-tom." Ua pane ʻo McGraw ma ka ʻōlelo ʻana ʻaʻole ʻo ia i manaʻo ʻino a hoʻohana wale ʻo ia i nā huaʻōlelo ʻokoʻa no kā lākou mau ʻano mele.
ʻOiai ʻo McGraw wehewehe ʻana i kāna mau manaʻo, ua hoʻouna ʻo Cherokee Nation alakaʻi ʻo Wilma Mankiller i kahi leka i ke kahua e ʻōlelo ana ua hōʻike ʻia ke mele i "ka hoʻolimalima ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka poʻe India", e ʻōlelo ana ʻo ia ka "hoʻoikaika i ka manaʻo nui", e like me kahi ʻatikala Billboard. Cronin.
ʻO ka hopena, ua hoʻomaka kekahi mau lekiō ma Arizona, Nevada, Oklahoma, a me Minnesota e hōʻole i ka hoʻokani ʻana i kēia mele. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, ua kākau kekahi hui ʻĀina Cherokee Hikina ma North Carolina i ka hui hoʻokele o McGraw e kākoʻo i ke mele ʻaʻohe o lākou kūʻē ʻana.
I loko o he aha ke kumu!
Ma hope koke iho o kēia haunaele, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album lua a ka mea mele. Ua lilo ʻo "Not a Moment too Soon" i ʻāina helu ʻekahi i kāna pule mua ma nā palapala. Eia kekahi, ʻekolu mau mele hou i poʻokela i ka papa inoa ma kahi o "Indian Outlaw".
Ua loaʻa i kāna album a me kāna helu ʻekahi "Don't Take The Girl", he melodramatic ballad, mai ka Academy of Country Music.
Ua kapa ʻia ʻo McGraw i ka Best New Country Artist e Billboard.
ʻAʻole i liʻuliʻu loa Ua hiki koke i ka helu ʻekahi ma ka pakuhi album ʻāina no 26 mau pule a kūʻai aku ma kahi o ʻewalu miliona kope i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
I ka manawa koke, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo McGraw mai ka honky-tonks i ka hoʻomaka ʻana i kahi huakaʻi poʻo.
I ka makahiki aʻe, i Kepakemapa 1995, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo McGraw i kaʻu mea makemake. ʻOiai he hoʻāʻo ia e hōʻike i ka ʻoihana mele koʻikoʻi, ʻo ka mea mua i hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻo ia ka jaunty "I Like It, I Love It".
E like me kāna wehewehe ʻana iā Deborah Evans Price ma Billboard, “He mele ʻoluʻolu, leʻaleʻa, a me ke kula kiʻekiʻe. ʻAʻole ʻo ia e kamaʻilio nui. Ua hoʻokuʻu mākou no ka mea he mele leʻaleʻa a hiki iā ia ke hoʻohuli maʻalahi i kekahi o nā mele ʻē aʻe o ka album aʻu i makemake nui ai e lohe nā kānaka!
Noho ka mele ma ka helu ʻekahi no ʻelima pule a kūʻai aku ka album i ʻekolu miliona kope.
Ka male ʻana me Faith Hill
I kēia manawa i ka makahiki 1996, ua hoʻomaka ka huakaʻi Spontaneous Combustion, kahi i hana ai ka mea hoʻokani o ka ʻāina i kahi haʻiʻōlelo wehe. I ka pau ʻana o ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻomaka pū ke ola pilikino o McGraw e paila, a ua noi ʻo ia iā Hill e mare iā ia.
Aia lākou i ka huakaʻi ma Montana i kēlā manawa, a nīnau ʻo ia i ka nīnau i loko o kona lumi ʻaʻahu, i waiho ʻia i loko o ka hale kaʻa. Ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia i ka hanana ma kahi hālāwai ninaninau me People magazine: "Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia, 'ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke manaʻoʻiʻo ke noi mai nei ʻoe iaʻu e mare iā ʻoe i loko o kahi trailer!' manaʻo ʻoe?
Ua ʻae ʻo Hill i ka noi a McGraw ma ke kākau ʻana i ka "yes" ma ke aniani i loko o kāna kiʻiʻoniʻoni ʻoiai ʻo ia ma ke kahua, a ua male lāua ma ʻOkakopa 6, 1996.
Ua hānau ʻia kā lāua kaikamahine mua, ʻo Gracie, i ka makahiki 1997, ʻo kā lāua kaikamahine ʻelua, ʻo Maggie, i hānau ʻia i hoʻokahi makahiki ma hope mai, a ʻo kā lāua kaikamahine ʻekolu, ʻo Audrey (ka muli loa), i hānau ʻia ma 2001.
Hoʻomau ka holomua
I kēia manawa, hoʻomaka ʻo McGraw e hoʻokaʻawale i kāna mau hana i loaʻa iā ia nā koho inā loaʻa kona kaulana i lalo. Ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i nā hui hana a hoʻokele.
Ua hoʻokuʻu pū ʻo ia a me Byron Gallimuer i ka album mua a Joe Di Messina, i loaʻa i ka hit "Heads Carolina, Tails California".
ʻAʻole pono ʻo McGraw e hopohopo: i Iune 1997, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo ia i kahi hit hou, ʻo Everywhere, i piʻi i luna o nā papa inoa a hoʻokomo ʻia ʻekolu mau mele helu hoʻokahi, me "It's Your Love", āna i mele ai me Hill. Ua hiki kēia mele i ka ʻumi kiʻekiʻe ma ka pakuhi pop.
Ua ʻike ʻia ke kūpaʻa hou o kona ola ma ke ʻano he kāne male a makua kāne ma nā wahi a pau, a ke ʻimi nei ʻo ia i nā makana nui loa i kēia manawa.
Ma waena o nā makana ʻē aʻe, i ka makahiki 1997 ua kapa ʻia ʻo "It's Your Love" i ka Billboard's Single of the Year Award, Radio & Records Single of the Year, a ua kapa ʻia ʻo Country Music Television iā ia ʻo Male Artist of the Year.
Eia kekahi, ma 1998 ua loaʻa iā ia nā makana mai ka Academy of Country Music no hoʻokahi o ka makahiki, mele o ka makahiki, wikiō o ka makahiki a me nā leo kiʻekiʻe - nā mea āpau no ka mele hoʻokahi "ʻO kou aloha".
I ka makahiki 1999, ua hoʻomau ʻia ka streak keʻokeʻo o McGraw me ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana o A Place in the Sun i Mei. Ua lanakila ʻo ia ma luna o nā palapala kiʻi puke Billboard a ua hoʻokumu i kahi helu hoʻokahi ma ka ʻāina: "Please Remember Me".
Ua hoʻomau ʻia nā makana i ka loaʻa ʻana o McGraw Academy of Country Music Awards for Vocalist of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year and Country Music Association Awards for Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year as Artist and Producer of A Place in the Sun a me nā mea ʻē aʻe.
No ka hoʻopau ʻana, ua kapa ʻia ʻo People magazine iā ia ʻo "Sexiest Country Star" i kā lākou puke makahiki Dream Boat. I ka makahiki 2000, ua loaʻa iā McGraw ka Academy Award for Country Music Vocalist of the Year a me kāna Grammy Award no ka Best Collaboration ma "Let's Make Love", kahi duet āna i mele ai me kāna wahine.
Hana hana
Ua lilo ʻo McGraw i mea keaka. Ua hōʻike ʻia ʻo ia i ka 2004 hiʻohiʻona kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Black Cloud i alakaʻi ʻia e Rick Schroeder a me ka 2006 family drama Flick.
Ma kahi kūlana kākoʻo, ua hana pū ʻo McGraw me Jamie Foxx lāua ʻo Jennifer Garner ma 2007's The Kingdom.
Ke lawe nei i kahi pāʻani haʻuki, ua hui pū ʻo ia me Sandra Bullock ma Blind Side (2009).
Ua pāʻani ʻo ia i kahi ʻano kokoke loa i kona ola maoli ma Country Strong (2010) me Gwyneth Paltrow a ma hope ua pae i kahi kūlana koʻikoʻi ma Tomorrowland (2015) e kū pono ana iā George Clooney.
He wahi liʻiliʻi e pili ana i ke ola pilikino
Noho ʻo McGraw i kahi hale ʻeono lumi moe kokoke i Nashville. E like me kāna wehewehe ʻana iā Zimmerman ma USA Today, "ʻO kēia ka wahi hoʻomaha loa ma ka honua. Loaʻa iā mākou ke ahi i nā manawa a pau ma Back Forty, e kau ana ma ko mākou pā hale, e pāʻani ana i nā kīkā a inu i ka pia."
Hele pinepine ʻo ia me kāna wahine, akā ʻaʻole haʻalele ʻo Hill me nā keiki. "ʻOi aku koʻu aloha i kaʻu wahine ma mua o nā mea āpau," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo McGraw ma kekahi ʻatikala People.
I ka hopena o ka hoʻoilo o 2018, ma hope o ka pana pōʻino ma ke kula kiʻekiʻe ʻo Marjory Stoneman Douglas ma Florida, ua lilo ʻo McGraw i hoʻokahi o nā hōkū kiʻekiʻe loa o ka ʻāina e hōʻike i kāna kākoʻo no nā hana hoʻomalu pū ikaika.
Ma hope o ka hoʻolaha ʻana o ka hale kūʻai mea haʻuki e hoʻonui ka luna i ka makahiki liʻiliʻi no ke kūʻai ʻana i nā pū a i ʻole nā bala mai 18 a i 21, ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo ia: "Mahalo no ka lilo ʻana i ʻāpana o ke kūkākūkā e pili ana i ka palekana o kā mākou mau keiki!"
