Yep, Danny did the Opry and himself proud! Great job Danny!
i had a bet with my friend that he will be the top winner in ai but i lost. nonetheless, i think that he will have a hit with this song. go gokey!
He is one of the new guys in Country, but I'm not surprised he was invited because he has such an excellent voice!
He did it and he did it very well. He should be feeling happy and excited to be climbing that ladder to success as fast as he is!! Couldn't happen to a more deserving, hard-working guy!
Had a chance to see Danny Gokey in both shows that night at the Opry. He was a bit nervous but sounded great. The Opry hosts and crowd gave him a warm welcome. Nice start as a new country artist.
