John Michael Montgomery was one of the biggest country artists of the '90s. The Danville, Kentucky native got his start singing with his brother Eddie, who would go on to become half of Montgomery Gentry. And from the moment his debut album Life's a Dance dropped, the country singer was the toast of Nashville. Massive hits like "I Love the Way You Love Me", "Beer and Bones," and the titular track "Life's a Dance" propelled the album to triple platinum. "I Love the Way You Love Me" (the album's second single) was Montgomery's first No. 1 hit on the Billboard country charts.
The singer-songwriter's sophomore album Kickin' it Up featured the smash hit love song "I Swear" and "Rope the Moon."

Montgomery continued his chart-topping streak throughout the decade with hits like "I Can Love You Like That," Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident), "No Man's Land," Be My Baby Tonight" and "Cowboy Love."
Montgomery's 1998 album Leave a Mark included the top 5 hit "Hold On to Me," while 1999's Home to You featured the top 20 track "Hello L.O.V.E." and another top 5 hit with the title track. In 2000, Montgomery released Brand New Me, which spawned the heart-wrenching No. 1 hit "The Little Girl," which featured Alison Krauss on vocals.
