Jim Nabors - Peace In The Valley '1974

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.
