Standing 6’5″ and affectionately known throughout country music as “The Tall Texan,” Claude Gray made an indelible mark on country music history in 1960 by recording Willie Nelson’s breakthrough composition “Family Bible”, helping establish Nelson as a legendary songwriter and Gray as a major country hitmaker.
