Closing the ‘70’s in 1979 with his first #1 hit, “Last Cheater’s Waltz,” T.G. Sheppard opened the ‘80’s with a remarkable run of #1 hits in two years and was also named “Best New Male Artist” by Cashbox. His other #1 hits include many T.G. Sheppard signature songs such as "Slow Burn,” “Only One You,” “Party Time,” “Do You Wanna Go To Heaven,” “I Feel Like Loving You Again,” “I Loved ‘Em Every One,” “Finally,” “War Is Hell On The Homefront Too,” and “Faking Love.” “Finally” and “I Loved ‘Em Every One,” introduced T.G. to a massive new world of fans when both made major impact on the Pop Top 40 Charts. “Make My Day,” a duet with Clint Eastwood featured in the movie, “Sudden Impact,” again crossed T.G. over to pop chart recognition.
Four album projects and more hits followed on a second wave of gold: Number one singles with “Fooled Around And Fell In Love,” “One For The Money,” and “Strong Heart,” helped him remain one of the most in demand artists in country music—both in concert and on record.
T.G. served as national spokesperson for the Folger’s NASCAR racing team for eight seasons, performing for six years on the popular “Folger’s Wakin’ Up Country Tour” which headlined across America. Throughout the course of his career T.G. has consistently worked for good causes close to his heart: Childhelp USA, St. Jude Children’s Hospital, the United Way, Cerebral Palsy, and the Alzheimer’s Association, among other organizations have all been made richer for the success of one man and his dream to make music. At a point in his career when most artists are resting on their past accomplishments, T.G. continues to work on new material and collaborative projects with other know artists.
T.G.'s first commercial album in over 13 years "Legendary Friends & Country Duets" was released a year ago - a duet CD with some of music's biggest icons including Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, Jerry Lee Lewis, Conway Twitty, Kelly Lang, Ricky Skaggs, The Oak Ridge Boys, Englebert Humperdink, Lorrie Morgan, Crystal Gayle, Delbert McClinton, The Whites, Mickey Gilley, Steve Cropper, Jimmy Fortune, and Wayne Jackson and the Memphis Horns. A 90 minute motion picture length DVD was also filmed as the sessions were recorded and won the top award for best music documentary at the Tele Awards in Los Angeles, CA.
