My Take
Jim Nabors is one of those careers I find quietly moving. Discovered in a Santa Monica nightclub by Andy Griffith, he turned the guileless Gomer Pyle into an American icon, then floored everyone by opening his mouth and revealing a magnificent singing voice. That gap between bumbling comic persona and rich baritone is the heart of his charm. Even a Razzie feels like proof of how beloved he stayed. An Alabama boy with two gifts, comedy and song, he left us in 2017, and I respect him as a genuine, warm-hearted entertainer.
