Troyal Garth Brooks was born in 1962 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Lucky for him (and us!) he was born into a family who loved music. His mom, Colleen McElroy Carroll, was a country singer herself, who even recorded for Capitol Records during the rockin’ 1950s and showcased her talent on the famous TV show, the Ozark Jubilee.
Garth Brooks has sold 157 million albums worldwide, making him the top-selling solo artist on US soil. That’s because he didn’t just sell records; he created anthems.
Remember GhostTunes.com? Back in 2014, Brooks gave birth to this all-in-one music store. This wasn’t just a place to buy music; it was a new way of selling and listening to music.
