About

Ricky Van Shelton was an overnight country music sensation whose fifteen minutes of fame were very productive. Between 1987 and 1994, he recorded four platinum albums and had thirteen chart-topping hits (many of which were covers of older hits). His highly polished Country Pop was marked by a rich baritone vocal inflection on which he heavily relied.
