CERRITOS - Prolific country singer and songwriter Clint Black will return to the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts on Feb. 15 to perform his classic hits, including "Nothing's News" and "No Time to Kill."Named male vocalist of the year by both the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music, Black has dominated the airwaves and music charts since his 1989 debut album, "Killin' Time." The record was named one of the "100 Greatest Albums in Country Music," launching a meteoric rise for a man who is applauded in the industry not only for his performances, but for also writing his own songs. Black's follow-up album, "Put Yourself in My Shoes," went triple platinum and sent him back to the top of the music charts with the singles "Loving Blind" and "Where Are You Now." The record "One Emotion" followed in 1995 and was platinum certified, producing the Top 5 hits "Untanglin' My Mind," "Wherever You Go," "Life Gets Away" and the No. 1 song "Summer's Comin'".
