Who originally wrote the Proud to Be an American song?
“God Bless the USA” is an American patriotic song written by country musician Lee Greenwood. The first Greenwood album it appears on is 1984’s You’ve Got A Good Love Comin’. It reached number 7 on the country charts when originally released in 1984, and was played at the 1984 Republican National Convention with President Ronald Reagan and first lady Nancy Reagan in attendance, but the song was first widely heard during the Gulf War in 1990 and 1991, as a way of boosting morale.
