Vince was the one responsible for ‘Go Rest High On That Mountain’ rising to the top of popular culture in the 1990s.

He started writing the song shortly after Keith Whitley, another country performer, passed away in 1989.

Even though Vince had the impulse to write the lyrics down, it would take him a while to actually finish the one-of-a-kind song.

The song immediately reached the top of the music charts after he made it available to the general audience.

Go Rest High On That Mountain went on to win two Grammy awards after its first commercial triumph and the Country Music Association Song of the Year award in 1996.

The song’s lyrics have soothed and calmed many people’s minds and souls throughout the years, all

around the world. Today, Carrie Underwood is performing a Vince Gill classic as part of the CMT Giants special.

After winning the fourth season of American Idol in 2005, Carrie became well-known.

With her versions of songs like ‘I Can’t Make You Love Me’ by Bonnie Raitt and “Bless the Broken Road” by Rascal Flatts, she won over the hearts of Americans.

After winning, she quickly soared through the country music charts, becoming a well-known name in the industry.

Despite the fact that 16 years have passed since her game-changing audition, Carrie still uses her ability to stir our emotions.

Just take a listen to how she performs such iconic words in homage to her buddy and fellow legend Vince Gill.

What a magnificent tribute performance to honor this unrivaled country music icon!
