Neal McCoy (born Hubert Neal McGaughey, Jr., July 30, 1958 in
Jacksonville, Texas) is an American country singer of mixed Irish and
Filipino descent. In 1991, he had signed to Atlantic Records, with his debut album At This Moment being released that year. Both it and the follow-up, Where Forever Begins, produced minor chart entries; it was not until 1993 that McCoy broke through with the back-to-back Number One singles "No Doubt About It" and "Wink". Although McCoy never topped the charts again after "Wink", McCoy charted more than twenty-five singles over the next decade, in addition to recording several more studio albums. Influenced by Charley Pride, Frank Sinatra & Michael Jackson. McCoy got his start as an opening act for Charley Pride, soon earning his own slot on the show. "Charley was so good onstage, making people feel relaxed, " McCoy recalls. "And offstage, he was still the same guy, very approachable. I tried to learn that from him." Neal and his wife, Melinda founded the East Texas Angel Network (ETAN) in 1995. Their foundation provides financial assistance to families of children with serious illnesses. So far, the organization has raised 3.5 million dollars for the children of East Texas. McCoy was
