T.G. Sheppard Celebrates 40th Anniversary of 'Finally'

Country music legend T.G. Sheppard is celebrating the 40th anniversary of his 1982 album "Finally." The title track became Sheppard's tenth number one song, among 21 other number one hits he attained on the country chart, and proceeded to remain at the number one spot for a total of ten weeks. Other hits include "Only One You," and fan favorites "Crazy In The Dark," "In Another Minute," and more.

The "Finally" album cover was shot by world-famous artist, Dick Zimmerman, who also photographed notable projects such as Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Sheppard has plenty of tour dates on his schedule for fans to see these songs performed live, and maybe even catch special guests who join him! Listen to the album on YouTube here.

"Ever so often a magical song will come along that propels an artist's career," shares Sheppard. 'Finally' was such a song for me. I'm honored that it is still being used today as a very special song by many for their weddings and anniversaries. Thanks to Gary Chapman for writing a song that has stood the test of time."

Sheppard is the host of "The T.G. Sheppard Show" on SiriusXM's Elvis Radio, which features some of entertainment's most well-known names. Sheppard discusses how beginning his career at just 16 years old led him to a lifetime friendship with icon Elvis Presley and shares his fondest memories of the King with close friends and guests such as Priscilla Presley, Travis Tritt, Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, Sir Barry Gibb and more. The T.G. Sheppard Show airs regularly on Fridays from 3-7 pm ET on SiriusXM's Elvis Radio channel 75 and is also available on-demand worldwide with the SiriusXM app and Pandora NOW with a standard SiriusXM subscription.
