One of George Strait's best selling albums 'Pure Country,' led to the big-screen debut of 'King' George. The movie is a familiar tale of a star returning to his roots.

George Strait was born on May 18, 1952, in Poteet, Texas, the son of a junior high school teacher who also owned and operated a ranch that had been in the Strait family for nearly 100 years.
