George Fox

tched his career take off. The album went gold and landed him four top 20 Canadian country hits and the CCMA Award title of Vista Rising Star (1989). As important as the gold record was George catching the eye and ear of Anne Murray’s legendary manager Leonard T. With a dream team in place, George began taking the new decade by storm. His 1990 release “With All My Might” became George’s second gold album, and he starred in his first TV special for CBC, “George Fox’s New Country.”
The hits kept coming. “Spice of Life” in 1991, and the gold-certified albums “Mustang Heart” (1993) and “Time of My Life” (1995). Releasing music at a prolific pace, singles like "No Trespassing", "I Give You My Word", “Honest Man”, “Clearly Canadian” and "Breakfast Alone" became mainstays on country stations worldwide. George not only dominated radio waves in the 90’s, but also launched into television. In an era where variety music programming was an incredible career booster, George was literally all over the dial. While his four television specials attracted millions of viewers, he also guest-stared on numerous shows and specials, and notably hosted the CCMA awards show consecutively from 1991-1994. Within a decade he had released 8 albums, boasting 17 Top Ten singles and his two number one hits, “First Comes Love” and “What’s Holding Me.” Along the way he won 3 Junos for Country Male Vocalist of the Year (1989,1990,1991) and another 3 CCMA Awards as Male Vocalist of the Year (1990,1991,1993.)
