Jim Nabors - The Way of Love '1972

Tracks list

       While better known as an actor thanks to his immortal role as
television's bumbling Gomer Pyle, Jim Nabors also enjoyed a successful career as
an easy listening balladeer. Born June 12, 1930, in Sylacauga, Alabama, he
graduated from the University of Alabama with a degree in business
administration, but later found himself working in TV as an apprentice editor;
at much the same time, he also pursued a career as a cabaret singer. In 1963,
Nabors was hired to guest star on an episode of the popular Andy Griffith Show;
although his role as the hayseed Gomer was originally intended as a one-shot,
the character proved such a hit with audiences that he went on to become a
featured player for the next two seasons. In 1965, Nabors even received his own
spinoff series, Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C., in which Gomer appeared as a hapless Marine
Corps private. During a 1964 guest appearance on The Danny Kaye Show, Nabors
first displayed his vocal prowess; his baritone subsequently graced dozens of
albums, including a number of gospel and country efforts. He also had an
opportunity to sing on his Gomer Pyle show; during the program's fourth season,
in an episode entitled "The Show Must Go On" which aired on November 3, 1967,
Nabors sang "The Impossible Dream" from Man of La Mancha, and the song
subsequently became a popular part of his repertoire as a performer. From 1969
to 1972 Nabors hosted his own variety program, The Jim Nabors Show, and also
regularly performed in concert. Jim Nabors died at his home in Honolulu, Hawaii
on November 30, 2017; he was 87 years old. ~ Jason Ankeny
