Kenny Chesney (born 26 March 1968 in Knoxville,
Tennessee) is a country music singer, known for
such works as No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems and
When the Sun Goes Down.  Kenny is known for his
laid back style of country music. He writes and
sings his songs; something not done by many
artists today. His songs are based on his actual
life, and lessons he has learned.

His first major hit was "Fall in Love," which
reached the Top 10 in 1995. The follow-up, "All I
Need to Know," also reached the Top 10, but after
several follow-up singles failed to reach the Top
20, it appeared Chesney would be the victim of
beginner's luck.

Such was not the case, and in 1996, he scored his
biggest hit yet with the Top 5 smash, "Me and
You," and returned again with "When I Close My
Eyes" in early 1997. He finally reached the top of
the charts with "She's Got it All" in August 1997,
spending three weeks atop Billboard magazine's
country singles chart.

Several of his subsequent No. 1 hits were among
the biggest country hits in recent years: "How
Forever Feels" (No. 1 for six weeks in 1999); "The
Good Stuff" (No. 1 for seven weeks in 2002);
"There Goes My Life" (No. 1 for seven weeks in
early 2004); and "When the Sun Goes Down" (a duet
with Uncle Kracker that spent five weeks at No. 1
in 2004). Notable No. 2s include "That's Why I'm
Here" (1998), "Young" (2002), "Big Star" (2003),
"No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problem" (2003) and "The
Woman With You" (2004).

While some of Chesney's music shows the obvious
influence of John Mellencamp and Jimmy Buffett (a
point critics are quick to note), he often
performs several traditional country songs at his
shows (particularly, music from George Jones). His
stage presence, sold out shows and recent radio
activity were major reasons why he won the Country
Music Association's 2004 Entertainer of the Year
honor.

In January 2005, Chesney released the album "Be As
You Are": Songs From an Old Blue Chair." He is
supporting the album with his "Somewhere Under the
Sun" tour (which also will feature Uncle Kracker
and Gretchen Wilson).

and he had written a song, "You Had Me From
Hello", based on her line from Jerry Maguire.
