Bobby G. Rice is proof that music is a universal language. The
legendary singer-songwriter struck success with a string of pop hit remakes in the early 70s that drew in country crowds, leading to 30 Billboard Chart hits, numerous awards and over four decades of
entertaining.

2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the Bobby G. Rice smash number one hit, “You Lay So Easy On My Mind.” As the performer and songwriter, Rice earned CMA nominations for single and album of the year, as well as male vocalist of the year in 1973. And once again, stretching musical genres, Rice was further honored when such notable names as Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty Roy Orbison, David Houston, Kitty Wells, Jerry Springer, Bill Anderson’s Po’ Boys Band, Pat Boone and Andy Williams all recorded his signature song, “You Lay So Easy on My Mind.”
