The group got its start in 1969 when Jeff Cook, Teddy Gentry and Randy Owen, three musical cousins from Fort Payne, Ala., played at a Myrtle Beach, S.C. bar called The Bowery.
Eight years of positive word-of-mouth and tip-jar-tips brought them to a major label deal, followed by more than 300 industry awards and induction into, the Country Music Hall of Fame, Musicians Hall of Fame and Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.
