Vern Gosdin
First things first, Vern Gosdin began his career by singing gospel music. While he briefly retired in the mid 70’s to run a glass making business, but he came back with a record breaking single “Hangin’ On” in 1976. Even though he suffered a stroke, Vern carried on singing, recording hits that Brad Paisley and Lorrie Morgan covered. Sadly, he passed away at age 74 after a second stroke.
