Alan Jackson was born October 17, 1958 in Newnan, Georgia.

In 2001, Jackson once again achieved unprecedented fame with his 9/11 tribute single "Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)" which gave Jackson national fame and the 2002 Grammy award for Best Country Song.
In 2004, Jackson released his latest album, What I Do. From this album Alan released 4 hit singles: "Too Much of a Good Thing", "Monday Morning Church", "The Talkin' Song Repair Blues", and "USA Today".
