Clint Black

American country singer and writer, who taught himself music, has won a large collection of country music

awards, and several gold and triple platinum records.

Fourth child and son of Anna and G.A. Black, he taught himself to play the harmonica when he was 13. He

dropped out of high school to play bass in his brother’s band in 1978, and within three years, had his own solo

gigs. He had a booking in Houston in 1981 and went eight years playing on the local club circuit.
