Bio:
Vern Gosdin(born August 5, 1934 in Woodland, Alabama) is an American country music singer. Nicknamed "The Voice," he scored hits in the 1970's and 1980's, including "Chiseled in Stone," (1988) "Set 'em Up Joe," (1988) "I'm Still Crazy," "That Just About Does It," "If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong (Do It Right)," "Today My World Slipped Away," "Slow Burning Memory," "This Ain't My First Rodeo," "Way Down Deep" and "I Can Tell By The Way You Dance."

As the sixth child in a family of nine, Vern Gosdin began singing in a church in Woodland, Al. where his mother played piano.

In 1961 he moved to California where he joined the West Coast Country music movement, first as a member of the Golden State Boys, then the Hillmen before forming The Gosdin Brothers with brother Rex. The duo hit the charts in the late 60's with "Hangin' On" on the Bakersfield International label, then with "Till The End" on Capitol Records.

He moved to Atlanta during the 70's, retired from performing and operated a glass company, but before the end of the decade he was back in the studio recording with Emmylou Harris and Janie Frickie.

He signed with Compleat Records in the early 80's, and in 1984 released "There Is A Season", picked by the Los Angeles Times as "Best Country Album" of that year.

After Compleat Records went bankrupt, Gosdin signed with Columbia in 1987. He had success right off the bat with "Do You Believe me Now" and "Chiseled in Stone". The latter was voted the 1989 CMA Song of the Year.
