Jim Nabors Dead At 87

He was also an accomplished singer with 28 albums, five gold and one platinum album to his credit. His deep baritone voice graced the opening ceremonies of the Indianapolis 500 for several years when he sang “Back Home Again in Indiana.” Nabors was an Alabama native whose Southern twang was evident in his Gomer Pyle sayings, such as “gawwwleee.” Nabors died early this morning in Honolulu, where he was living with his partner of 38 years Stan Cadwallader
