The father of country superstar Clint Black has died. G.A. Black left his family shocked and saddened when he chose to "end his own suffering" on Sunday (Dec. 2). He was 78 years old.
He has sold over 20 million albums and has over a dozen number one songs to his credit. He's a great singer and songwriter, and most of all a great husband to his wife of 20 years and a wonderful father to his 6th grade daughter.
It was a pretty big deal for stars like Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Clint Black and George Strait to all do a song together but throw Jimmy Buffett in there too and that's a spicy gumbo!
