He sang to over 220 million people over his lifetime, worked with Billy Graham for over 50 years, and recorded over 500 vocal solos on more than 70 albums. And yet - we had no idea who the fuck he was until we looked him up. Go figure.
Crazy. He was completely healthy at a rally in Tulsa last month, and now he's dead of Covid. Hard to imagine.
