Vince Gill. His name alone evokes memories of tearful ballads and moving love songs. With songs like “Go Rest High On That Mountain,” “Pretty Little Adriana,” “When I Call Your Name,” and “Whenever You Come Around” to his credit, the Oklahoma native has become known as one of the best balladeers in country music.

Even though Gill started his music career in the ’70s, he didn’t land his first Number One hit until 1992, when “I Still Believe In You,” the title cut from his fifth studio album, was released. The song also earned Gill two Grammys for Best Country Song and Best Male Vocal Country Performance.

Few people know that “I Still Believe In You” was written by Gill for his then-wife, Janis Gill, of the Sweethearts of the Rodeo. The song gave fans a glimpse into their relationship as Gill issued a heartfelt apology and asked her for another chance. He sings,

Everybody wants a little piece of my time. But still, I put you at the end of the line. How it breaks my heart to cause you this pain. To see the tears you cry fallin’ like rain. Give me the chance to prove. And I’ll make it up to you.

Gill filmed a stunning video for the song at the Rialto Square Theatre in Joliet, Illinois. In the video, Gill sings alone on the empty theater stage, depicting the loneliness his song portrays.
