Ronnie Milsap, along with fellow artists Kenny Rogers, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton, was one of the biggest crossover acts of the late 1970s and 1980s.

With such songs as "It Was Almost Like A Song," "(I'm a) Stand by My Woman Man” — which musically references the Tammy Wynette classic in a truly clever way — “I Wouldn’t Have Missed It For The World,” ”Any Day Now" and even the MTV staple "She Loves My Car," Milsap's music and his big sunglasses — worn due to his blindness — were a prominent fixture in our pop culture landscape
