Randy Travis, born Randy Bruce Traywick in 1959, is a renowned American country and gospel music singer-songwriter known for helping bring traditional country music back to prominence in the 1980s. He has won multiple Grammy Awards and other honors throughout his career. In 2013, he suffered a near- fatal stroke that caused aphasia, which significantly impaired his ability to speak and sing. Despite this, he has relearned to walk with some difficulty, and he has used AI technology to recreate his singing voice for new music releases as recently as 2024. His wife has noted that while his communication is limited, he still understands everything. He remains an iconic figure in country music with a legacy of hits such as "Forever and Ever, Amen" and "I Told You So".
