- (17 Oct 2016) RANDY TRAVIS STUNS, SINGS AT COUNTRY HALL OF FAME
Country singer Randy Travis found his distinctive voice three years after a life-threatening stroke and sang "Amazing Grace" during his induction Sunday (16 OCT. 2016) into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
The Grammy-winning baritone singer battled back the stroke in 2013 to sing again during the medallion ceremony in Nashville, Tennessee. He was inducted along with fiddler Charlie Daniels and record producer Fred Foster.
Fellow artists including Kris Kristofferson, Dolly Parton, Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Garth Brooks and more honored the three inductees with musical tributes.
But it was Travis' singing that brought a stunned silence and tears to the crowd after years of rehabilitation and therapy to regain his voice.
Mary Davis-Travis, his wife, spoke about the numerous procedures and surgeries to save his life and a six-month stay in the hospital after a viral infection caused his stroke.
"Randy stared death in the face, but death blinked," Davis-Travis said. "Today God's proof of a miracle stands before you."
The 57-year-old singer was honored for being the first country artist whose debut album "Storms of Life" went platinum in its first year and he ushered in a wave of neo-traditional singers like Alan Jackson, Clint Black and Brooks in the 1990s.
Jackson, who performed "On the Other Hand," talked about going out on tour with Travis in the early '90s and compared him to Elvis.
"When he sang, the women were screaming and fainting and it was crazy," Jackson said. "I loved it. Someone singing real country music and having that effect and selling all those records, it just made me so happy."
Daniels, the fiddler player behind the hit song "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," was honored for his multi-genre style blending Southern rock, bluegrass, gospel and country music.
"A plaque on this wall is not just another award or accolade," Daniels said. "It's a page in a history book. An unending history book."
Jamey Johnson performed his song, "Long Haired Country Boy," while Trace Adkins performed "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," with fiddler Andrea Zonn.
Foster ran the influential Monument Records, which helped launch the careers of Roy Orbison, Willie Nelson as well as Parton and Kristofferson. Kristofferson sang his iconic song "Me and Bobby McGee," which Foster helped co-write and produce, while Parton sang "Dumb Blonde," from her debut album produced by Foster.
Parton praised Foster for giving her a shot and still being a gentleman when Porter Wagoner "stole" her away to be on his television show.
Vince Gill presented him with the medallion and noted Foster was a lover of great songs and a champion of unique singers.
"But everyone of us needs a champion," Gill said. "And you look like at a man like Fred Foster and there's a man that has been a champion for all these years."
The 85-year-old producer is still currently working and most recently produced a tribute album to Ray Price by Nelson.

Love Randy Travis always will and always will be the man
@John Qualms . He sure is! More than a Legend but one for sure! He sang the Lord's word and when he was losing his battle, in a coma and the doctors told his wife she should pull the plug on Randy, she went to Randy still in a coma, and she asked him if he wanted to fight this! She said he squeezed her hand and a tear rolled down his cheek and she knew right then that he wanted to and would FIGHT THIS THING! And he did. The Lord said it wasn't his time to go. He always spread the Lord's word in his singing and the Lord said he wasn't done. FOREVER AND EVER AMEN.. 🙏
@@djtrump2101 He's far from being a zombie if that's what you're trying to say about Randy! Look at the newer things that he's been doing and singing is a big part of it. He's one of the best Country singers of all time! The Lord said his work is not done. He's living proof of the Lord's miracles every day.🙏
Garth Brooks is a legend
My mom met Randy at her bar in Jacksonville way back in the 70s..
Said he was the nicest and sweetest person and never forgot their meeting..
I love him. I’m glad his wife brings him out and about. He deserves to be loved on by the industry and his fans.

Prayers for Randy may God keep his healing hands upon him 🙏🙏🙏
ABSOLUTELY LOVE you Randy Travis!! You’re the very BEST!!!
Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T'was blind but now I see
T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T'was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home
Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T'was blind but now I see
Was blind, but now I see.
I heard a black man say Amazing Grace was written down using just the black keys of a piano. I sure hope that's true, as I have repeated that story since I saw it on Bill & Gloria Gaither's music show!
So great to hear your voice you are an inspiration God bless you
I’m crying Randy never give up the fight we are all with you brother Love and prayers.
Love you brother ❤️
Awards are temporary
Amazing Grace is eternal ❤️🙏
He has a classic country voice, one of the greats.
Hate to see him like that. Life sure isnt easy. Stay strong Mr travis.

I grew up listening to really country music artists like these
God bless his full recovery .love him and his music.his songs speaks louder than words.🙏🙏🙏❤
Miss him. Hope he will be back
He's one of the best signers ever, and I'm saying that as a person who is primarily a rock music fan. Randy Travis could croon with the best of them. In an earlier era, he could have been another Sinatra. I'm sorry for his hardships, hope he has a strong recovery. Thanks for the great music Mr. Travis. You are one of a kind.
A very special man Randy Travis.
Glad he got his voice back because when my Mom has a stroke she never got her speech back and was never the same again. He’s blessed to have that still going for him, was sorry to hear he had a stroke.
There really isnt anyone that can top randy travis. His tone, his classic style, his incredble bands. Just the absolute BEST period
I Wish Randy well, He Is Great!!!
GOD BLESS THIS WONDERFUL MAN.
Mister Randy Travis is a treasure and inspiration both tough and humble. He may bring you to tears or prayer, both are worthy responses to someone so respected and cherished. I wish him and his family well, and all God's blessings
Randy doing the ultimate tear jerker
I luv you brother and grew up listening to you.God bless you and your family.
God bless Mr. Travis. You were the music of my teens. You mean so much to me. God bless you. Thank you for giving your talents to me and everyone else who enjoyed your music. My appreciation is all I can give you. And my heart felt thanks. I love you and pray for you daily.
This is beautifully written an so heartfelt. I echo your sentiments and sincerely agree with those feelings. DITTO. ❤️
Randy Travis is just so special a talent.
Randy Travis would have to be one of the best modern country singings to grace the stage.
might be, but way after Keith Whitley would... (to me, he was quite boring actually, sorry, luckily tastes differ - I am happy he is still alive and doing reasonably well.
RIP Randy Travis you will be missed
Randy Travis is awesome..God Bless
A REAL country singer!
I worked in the Albuquerque sunport airport as a skycap, he use to travel quite a bit.. at that time he was married to his 1st wife... we'd take care of them with highest care as they were traveling to or coming home. Very nice gentleman. He was always there for his family, in my eyes I would say his golden voice was one of the best male vocal singers of country music. Glad our radio stations dont cancel out great music from the past.
His voice is still so amazing
we will love randy for ever and ever amen,
His voice is still so beautiful
GOD BLESS RANDY TRAVIS. ✝️❤️🤠
Randy Travis is my guy. I love ya Randy. Your Music will always lift me up to be better in the moment I am hearing the song and tomorrow as I remember the words.
God bless you, Randy Travis.

Love randy travis he was a legend
Randy you got country music to return to its roots when it went astray. You let young singers know singing COUNTRY, true heart felt country, was just right and we all thank you for it. Love you Randy.
@@1171 I’m so very sorry that you lost your brother. My heart felt sympathies. He sounds like he was such a fun person to be with. My two brothers, my sister and I are very close. We are military brats who moved practically every year so we were best friends with little time in one place to make other friends. Losing anyone of them would be devastating. Your pain at your loss had to be excruciating. I hope you have found peace with his passing. God bless. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
God bless him 🙏 may God keep blessing him with the strength to get better...love you Randy ❤️🙏
I hope Mr. Travis realizes what a blessing God has given him thru allowing him to live and keep singing.
Stay with your normal you' d be surprised how normal you could get ...bless you.

I love his music he could make you feel everything.
I love you so much my legend randy travis u are my inspiration god bless u and your family please try to get better I'm so sorry for what you are going through you will always be in my prayers I always listen to your music and sing along

I absolutely love Randy Travis! I’ve had some addiction issues, my papaw had a stroke the same time he did and watching papaw recover as I watched Randy recover on the TV and online was such a life changing time in my life. Randy Travis has left a lasting impression on my life and I will never not play his songs.
Randy travis is country music my favourite when momma prays
Love Randy he had his problems fought to over come bless you
