Fortune found his big break when he was discovered by and began to tour with the Statler Brothers.

Fortune also wrote the Top 10 hit “Forever” and co-wrote the top-10 hit “More Than a Name on the Wall”. The group was later inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame and the Country Music Association Hall of Fame.

    The pastor's wife at our church has a beautiful voice. Memorial Day she opened the service with this song. The whole congregation turned to mush. No one was consolable, our pastor said I believe the lord has touched us already today. He then dismissed service. His poor wife kept apologizing to everyone. Said she had no idea it would break the church down so bad. This song has the ability to place you in the heart of a lifelong grieving mother, so powerful. Thank you Mr. Fortune

    This is the set of lyrics that I most treasure although I love your new ones with Brothers of the Heart. As you know, Jimmy, it's almost a year since my Vietnam veteran husband passed away. And his mother always said that he started playing with toy soldiers when he was two or three years old. She got to pin his Second Lieutenant bars on his shoulder when he was commissioned by Harry Truman at his college graduation ROTC ceremony.

    I love this song. I'm thankful for all our Veterans. Those who have passed away and those who are here still today. I hope their families know each Veterans is special. Each Veteran is exactly the words on this song.
