One of his signature songs, “Forever and Ever, Amen,” earned both the CMA Awards for Single and Album of the Year when it debuted in 1987.
Despite suffering a debilitating stroke 12 years ago, Travis continues to create original music with the help of technology. At the Grand Ole Opry event, Clay Walker performed “Forever and Ever, Amen,” and it concluded with a heartfelt “amen” from Randy Travis himself.
