“One of the most prolific and self-directed creative forces in country music’s modern era, singer-songwriter Toby Keith amassed 42 top-10 hits … and more than 10 billion streams largely on the strength of his own songwriting and producing,” an official synopsis says. “Keith’s influence crossed generations and his legacy reached around the globe.”

Toby Keith died in February of stomach cancer. He was 62 years old.
