Line-dance enthusiasts everywhere rejoiced at the sound of Billy Ray Cyrus' 1992 hit Achy Breaky Heart, which propelled this Kentucky-born country singer into the national spotlight. Billy Ray had played college baseball and hoped for a pro career, but he abandoned that dream to try his luck with music.
Post 1992, his recordings have failed to live up to his initial hit. In 2001, he played the role of Dr. Clint Cassidy on a short-lived TV show called Doc.
An unfortunate side effect of his brief popularity as a singer was that he popularized the dreadlful mullet haircut (business in the front, party in the back).
Of late, he mainly can be seen around the fringes of his daughter Miley Cyrus' phenomenal success as a cute, perky girl star. Billy Ray recently drew criticism for trying to look "hot" in photos for which he posed with daughter Miley.
