Vince Gill is a country singer with an impressive resume; boasting the most Grammy Awards ever won by a male country music singer and more than 20 albums to his name.<\/p>\n

Gill who was inducted into the\u00a0Country Music\u00a0Hall of Fame in 2007, first came to our attention as a member of country rock band Pure Prairie League in 1979.<\/p>\n

Four decades later he is a much-loved and much in demand performer who was invited to sing on the legendary\u00a0Grand Ole Opry stage alongside the band Little Big Town.<\/p>\n

But bosses told him he could perform on one condition \u2014 he didn\u2019t sing about Jesus.<\/p>\n

So how could anyone deny this talented, brilliant artist the right to sing the song he wanted at a performance?<\/p>\n

His response caused the crowd to jump to their feet.<\/p>\n

Vince Gill, who was born in Oklahoma in 1957, became a solo artist in the \u201980s. In recent years the devout christian has incorporated more gospel music into his appearances.<\/p>\n

Recently he was invited to perform at the Grand Ole Opry,\u00a0in Nashville Tennessee, a weekly country music stage concert which has been going since 1925.<\/p>\n

Vince Gill steps up<\/h2>\n

But bosses said he could perform as long as he didn\u2019t do any religious songs, namely about Jesus.<\/p>\n

Vince Gill could have adhered to this instruction ignoring his instinct to want to sing about his faith. But instead he did something different.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

He ignored these rules and instead sang \u201cWhy Me Lord,\u201d a powerful song written and recorded by American country music artist and gospel singer Kris Kristofferson in 1972.<\/p>\n

Since, the song has been performed by musical greats such as\u00a0Elvis Presley\u00a0and Johnny Cash.<\/p>\n

Gill\u2019s performance resulted in a standing ovation showing that nobody else really cared what the song was about but how moving the performance was.<\/p>\n

See a clip of him performing in the video below.<\/p>\n
