George Strait’s Admiration of Ronnie Milsap

Milsap was not the only one who praised Strait for his great work. Strait shared to Entertainment Weekly that he always loved Milsap’s song “Houston Solution.” In addition, he also stated that he was a big fan of Milsap, how he chooses the best songs for his album and his talent in playing the piano. We definitely agree with Strait too!

“I know he inspired me…from his great piano playing to his amazing range vocally that he uses so tastefully. He also knows how to pick great songs and is a great entertainer. He’s not in the Hall of Fame for nothing, folks.”

The Original “Houston Solution”

“Houston Solution” was a classic song recorded by Milsap in the late ’80s. It was a recording from his album Stranger Things Have Happened. When it was released as a single from his album the song went straight to number four on the country chart. In addition, it secured a spot on the Canadian chart.
