You don't have to like the style of music to appreciate the greatness of a musician (whether his instrument is his voice or a physical instrument). I am not a fan of bluegrass but dang, some of those pickers are out of this world.

I was 9 years old when I saw this episode of Gomer Pyle. Nobody was allowed to talk until he finished singing.

It seems strange to an old guy like me to be living in a world where so many people have never heard of Jim Nabors or Gomer Pyle. It takes a lot of the fun out of hearing this performance if you aren't familiar with the Gomer Pyle character from having seen the show.

Jim Nabors was classically trained. Beautiful voice. He sang the song Back Home Again inIndiana at the Indiana 500 Auto Race 32yrs straight. 1976-2014. When he sang gospel my heart always opens and I can feel his voice to the deepest where our Lord God dwells

CLASSIC MOMENT!! I REMEMBER IT WELL! PEOPLE WERE STUNNED! ONE OF THE GREATEST VERSIONS EVER! HIS VOICE WAS UNBELIEVABLE!! 👍👍👍

This girl's reaction is precious! She didn't expect what she experienced, but those of us who grew up knowing Jim Nabors knew his voice would bowl her over. Never underestimate the talent of anyone!

Dude was legit talented and from a different generation that most kids wouldn't understand today. Multi-talented for sure.

Sweetie, your reaction was Priceless. I never missed a program of Gomer Pyle. Beautiful voice and a super nice person.

Jim Nabors played the gas station attendant, Gomer Pyle, on the Andy Griffith Show 1962-1964. In 1964-1969 he had his own show Gomer Pyle U.S.M.C.,. Nabors recorded 28 albums and numerous singles.

The entire video starts with Gomer sitting on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial despondent over being so scared to go on stage that he lost his voice. A security guard talks to him and tells him how much fear Lincoln had to overcome in leading the nation during the Civil War. Gomer gets up and while reading the inscription gradually relaxes and gets his voice back. Your clip picks up as he comes back to the auditorium.

"To be willing to march into hell for a heavenly cause...."

Jim was an amazing actor and to watch your reaction melted my heart. What I just witnessed in that split screen was to never judge a book by its cover. God bless!

After years of hearing Gomer talk on Andy Griffith his sound singing was shocking when he was show cased on a episode.

Love him.My generation grew up watching Jim on Andy Griffith,then he left Mayberry and joined the Marines.Everyone loved him as Gomer Pyle.He was one of the great ones.

I remember seeing this episode of "Gomer Pyle" when I was a kid. I later bought at least two Jim Nabors albums because of it.

From the play 'Man of La Mancha', the story Don Quixote> Jim had that huge voice. Robert Goulet had a very popular version.

Jim Nabors had a beautiful voice, although you never would have known it based on the TV voice he always used...

He used to sing "Back Home Again in Indiana" at the Indy 500 many times. Beautiful, turned a pleasant, homey song into something truly pretty.

This was a scene from Gomer Pyle, USMC. The one where Gomer enters a Marine Corp singing contest. I think it is the best rendition of this song ever. He is one of my favorite singers. I can literally listen to him sing for hours at a time, something I can say about very few performers. I think he may have had the best voice of the 20th century. He never had the fame as a singer that some others had, but he had a wonderful career as a singer and actor. At one time, his TV show was #1 in the country. He actually had another TV show before The Andy Griffith and Gomer Pyle. It was The Jim Neighbors Show, a weekly variety show. I can remember the episode on Andy Griffith when they discover that Gomer has this talented voice and he sings in the church choir. The next day, the whole country was debating if Jim had actually sung the sing or if it had been dubbed. Talk about being surprised.

One of my favorite songs. He sung it beautifully.

Ah, Jim Nabors used to sing "Back Home Again in Indiana" every year at the Indianapolis 500. Always made me cry.

When I was a kid in the '70s in Atlanta, we had WTCG (Ted Turner's UHF station) which ran The Andy Griffith Show, Gomer Pyle USMC, and famously (for Roger Whittaker), ads for a compilation album of his you could order. Atlanta had everything to do with Roger breaking through to an American audience, as the wife of Atlanta's WSB Radio's program director had heard "The Last Farewell" (a masterpiece!) while in Canada, and urged him to put it on the air. It became a hit here, and Turner's people saw the opportunity to sell the ad space. Win-win. I've always loved Roger's singing and of course, whistling. An amazing person.

I miss listening to him sing Back Home In Indiana at the Indy 500.

I remember when this episode came out on TV. It was impressive to hear then, it's still impressive to hear now!😊🤩

As a kid, I loved watching Gomer Pyle USMC on TV, and before that when he was on the Andy Griffith Show. He had that well known high voice on TV, but when I saw this episode, I was floored to hear that singing voice. Talk about a hidden talent.

That was Jim's bit. The hillbilly act with the straight singing act. It worked great because you wouldn't expect a bumpkin to sound like that.

Jim Nabors was an incredibly talented man.

A Classic. This from an era when TV was more than entertainment. These shows all taught moral lessons, and how hard work was a good thing. Boy have we stepped down many steps as a society.

Pure music. No sound studio, nothing. He had a truly amazing voice.

Wow. What an incredible voice. I didn't expect that.

Man had some serious pipes on him.

Dear young lady, Thank you for from the bottom of my heart I remember listening to Jim Nabors on my parents real to real stereo even before there was 8 tracks thank you for the memories God Bless. Sincerely Richard

I was fortunate to have opened a few shows for Mr. Nabors back in the 80s and he was an amazingly wonderful man. He would arrive for rehearsal and warm up with the orchestra without needing a microphone. So happy you chose this selection. Keep up the great reactions.

Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!

Sweet child, this is the music we grew up to in the 50's 60's and some of the 70's. My parents played this and so much more inspiring music. The song was written I believe not long after WW2, its a tribute to courage, might and mental strength in taking on evil, not knowing if you would survive it. The verse ( to march into hell for a heavenly cause) reflects this.

Yep...you don't hear that strong classic smooth voice like back all those years ago...great actor,singer and person.!

'Back home again in Indiana And it seems that I can see The gleaming candlelight, still burning bright Through the sycamores for me The new-mowed hay sends all its fragrance Through the fields I used to roam When I dream about the moonlight on the Wabash How I long for my Indiana home'

JIm Nabors played a doofus as Gomer Pyle and he was really funny. But so many people never realized what an amazing singer he was........ Thanks for reminding me.....

Thanks! For the memories. Gomer Pyle was one of my favorite tv shows growing up it was a spinoff of the Andy Griffith show. Jim Nabours had many challenges in his life one being one of the first guy actors/entertainers on tv,then he gone through having to have a kidney or lung transplant in his later year. One class act.👏👏👏 R.I.P. Jim. Thanks again. 😁✌

Beautiful!!! I love a great singer and he was awesome.RIP Jim Nabors.

India do you know Steve Urkel from the 90's sitcom Family Matters? In his day Gomer Pile was kinda similar on his sitcom. Gomer was a lovable simpleton who got himself in funny situations with a more "normal" castmates. The clip you showed was created to showcase that the actor who played goofy Gomer could actually sing. Similarly, Family Matters had some shows where the actor playing Steve Urkel could show another side of himself for dramatic effect. There was one for instance where he was cool & sexy.

I remember this as a kid

I could see him singing a million times and never get tried of it. Thank you Mr Nabors for sharing your gift with us, And to the younger generation this is real singing just talent

Wow. Thanks. Forgot about this episode. RIP Jim. Unique vocal legend.
