Darius Carlos Rucker is a singer and songwriter from the United States. He rose to prominence as the main vocalist and rhythm guitarist of the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish. He co-founded with Mark Bryan, Jim "Soni" Sonefeld, and Dean Felber at the University of South Carolina in 1986. The band published five studio albums and had six Billboard Hot 100 top 40 songs as a member. Rucker and the other musicians co-wrote the majority of the tracks.
In 2002, he released Back to Then, a solo R&B album on Hidden Beach Recordings, but no hits charted. Rucker signed with Capitol Nashville as a country music performer six years later and released the album Learn to Live that same year. "Don't Think I Don't Think About It," the album's debut single, earned him the first black artist to top the Hot Country Songs charts since Charley Pride in 1983. (Ray Charles' duet with Willie Nelson, "Seven Spanish Angels," reached number one in March 1985.) Two more number-one singles followed it, "It Won't Be Like This for Long" and "Alright," as well as "History in the Making," which reached number three.
