In a heartfelt message delivered just moments ago from his Nashville home, Jimmy Fortune, the treasured tenor voice of The Statler Brothers, reached out to the people of Texas with a message wrapped in sincerity, prayer, and quiet compassion.
With a tremble in his voice and visible sorrow in his eyes, Jimmy offered words not just as a country music icon, but as a man whose heart is deeply moved by the suffering of others.
“My heart aches for every family facing loss,” he said softly. “Texas, you are in my constant thoughts and prayers.”
Known for songs that speak directly to the soul, Jimmy has always had a way of turning emotion into music. But today, he chose something simpler: raw honesty.
He acknowledged the devastation that has swept across Texas — homes washed away, lives lost, and families torn by the unforgiving force of nature. And while he couldn’t be there in person, his message made it clear: his heart is right there, standing with those in pain.
“I’ve toured through Texas more times than I can count,” he said. “I’ve met the people. I’ve seen their strength, their kindness. And I know that even now—especially now—that spirit is still there.”
He also offered a quiet prayer during the message, asking for healing, peace, and the strength for Texans to carry one another through the days ahead.
“You’re not alone,” he added. “And you never will be—not while there’s still music, faith, and love in this world.”
In a time of heartbreak, Jimmy Fortune’s voice once again became what it has always been to his fans: a source of light, comfort, and unwavering presence.
