While hosting the CMA Awards over 30 years ago, Randy Travis reunited with fellow country icons Tammy Wynette and George Jones. The talented group took the stage along with cowboy legend Roy Rogers and Vern Gosdin to perform selections from Randy’s new album Heroes and Friends.
The audience cheered as each musical guest joined Travis on stage, with particular excitement for George Jones, who was a surprise guest that evening.

The song “Heroes & Friends” was co-written by Randy Travis and Don Schlitz and released as the second and final single from Travis’ album of duets, Heroes & Friends. Interestingly, it was his only song on the album that was not a duet.
