All of Nashville (and we do mean all) came out to celebrate the legendary Ronnie Milsap at his last show at Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday evening. We’re talking Tracy Lawrence, Keith Urban, Sara Evans, and SO many more were in attendance.
If you didn’t know already, Ronnie Milsap rose to fame on both the pop and country music charts with songs such as “Daydreams About Night Things,” and collected 6 Grammys, 4 ACMs and 8 CMAs over the course of his career. With 40 #1 Hits spanning across five decades, there’s no doubt that Mr. Mislap earned legendary status when he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2014.
That being said, the artists had an arsenal of songs to choose from. Kelly Clarkson kicked it off with “It Was Almost Like A Song,” Keith Urban killed it with his cover of “Out Where the Bright Lights Are Glowing,” and somewhere in the middle there were video messages from Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, Clint Black and Luke Bryan. Needless to say, the man is popular.
After over two and a half hours of performances, the 80 year-old took center stage, where he performed fan favorites “Smoky Mountain Rain,” “Stranger In My House,” and “(There’s) No Gettin’ Over Me,” before closing with “America the Beautiful.” The show then came to an iconic end with all of the artists joining Milsap on stage for a cover of the Rolling Stones “Honky Tonk Women.”
