WATCH: Randy Travis Stuns Hall of Fame Crowd by Singing 'Amazing Grace' 3 Years After Stroke.
Once, those three words were a given. But on Sunday night they were a miracle, considering the country legend has been virtually unable to speak since suffering a massive stroke three years ago.
And no, his singing voice no longer soars like the music on his beloved albums. But at the Nashville ceremony that ushered him into the Country Music Hall of Fame, he held the audience in his palm with one brief, ragged verse of “Amazing Grace.”
It was a heroic gift of gratitude, offered in response to the tender tribute that the country music community had just extended to him. The annual event, held in the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum’s 800-seat CMA Theater, also honored singer and multi-instrumentalist Charlie Daniels and producer Fred Foster.
Three of country’s giants were tapped to give voice to the long list of hits that Travis, 57, has accumulated in his decades-long career. First came Alan Jackson, who sang “On the Other Hand,” after telling of coming to Nashville in 1985 to try to carry on “real country music.”
“When I got here [Travis’] “1982” was smoking up the charts, and you opened the door for a lot of guys and girls … and made it easier for us,” Jackson said.
