Larry Gatlin
Oct 10, 2016
Country music icon Larry Gatlin was honored on-stage before a sold-out crowd at the Franklin Theatre in Franklin, TN recently with two BMI "Million-Air" Awards for his self-penned hits "Houston (Means I'm One Day Closer To You)" and "Broken Lady." The awards go to songwriters, composers, and publishers whose songs accumulate over one million U.S. broadcast performances. Gatlin has previously received "Million-Air" awards for "All The Gold In California," "I Just Wish You Were Someone I Love," and "The Lady Takes The Cowboy Everytime."
"Except for God, my family, my fellow man, and my country, my songs are the most important thing in the world to me. In truth, they are not really mine at all," said Gatlin. "They are gifts that I've shared with the world. The fact that radio stations would play the songs, that people would listen to the songs, buy records, and come to concerts to hear the songs, never ceases to amaze me, and I am grateful more than I can say."
