Iconic country singer Randy Travis was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on Oct. 16, 2016 and gave an awe-inspiring performance of "Amazing Grace." Just three years earlier, Travis had suffered a massive stroke and has overcome great obstacles to regain physical mobility. After years of therapy, Travis took the momentous occasion as an opportunity to share his voice once again.
