A long-lasting Country Music duo composed of Leon Eric "Kix" Brooks and Ronald Gene "Ronnie" Dunn, Brooks and Dunn is arguably the definitive country music duo. After several years as struggling solo singer-songwriters, the two were paired at the suggestion of Arista Records executive Tim DuBois. And all was good. Their first album, Brand New Man, launched four consecutive #1 hits with its first four singles, and went on to sell five million copies. Those first four songs are still considered among the duo's Signature Songs, most notably "Boot Scootin' Boogie", which sparked a renewed interest in line dancing.
