    The Jordanaires were the great backup group you hear on some of the biggest recordings from the 1950s and 1960s- Patsy Cline's breakway recording of Willie Nelson's 'Crazy', George Jones signature song 'He Stopped Loving Her Today' and several of Elvis Presley's recordings like 'Its Now Or Never' 'Don't Be Cruel' 'Are You Lonesome Tonight' among many others. Gordon Stoker was 88

    mouthy- The Jordanaires were just as famous for their Gospel Recordings as they were for their Rock & Roll and Country music.
