The man who sings now is good, but no one EVER can replace the late GREAT Jim Nabors. He is missed by many.

The race will never be the same without Jim Nabors.

Was still belting beautifully at 84. RIP Mr. Nabors

Nothing says AMERICA more than the Indy 500 and when Jim sang back home in Indiana, that was the icing on the cake. At 74 it still brings a tear to my eye. It's called TRADITION. Something the US has lost in a lot of ways.

Very sad news to hear that Jim Nabors passed today.  The Month of May will never be the same without Mr. Nabors.

i've driven 1700 miles to see this race. one way. and it was a year that Jim Neighbors was there and sung this Indiana song (wabash or some such song, , , , it's a tradition in Indy, a big one), the brady bunch lady was there too (both were there at the same TIME !!!) and James Garner drove the pace car, , , , boy was he good. Garner is the one on the popular show called the Rockford Files, you might have heard of it. Also, Roger Penske was there in the pits along with Bobby Rahal... sorry if i spelled any of these Indy 500 legends wrong. what a place that is, unbelievable. it's the size of a small town. trust me when i tell you that outside the race track on the night before the race is a happening all unto itself..i've never seen anything like it and I've been all over the world. people from all walks of life in all conditions imaginable. I got A.J. Foyts autograph and Jim Rathman's autograph on my hat that year too.

I'm not from Indiana but I get goosebumps every time I listen to this.

"How I long for my Indiana home" always sends chills down my spine.

There is absolutely nothing that makes me prouder to be an American than Jim Nabors singing this song. God bless America!

[GeographRick]

I remember as a child, the first time I heard him sing this, I was shocked. I couldn't believe that Gomer Pyle could sing like that!

[patrickjones]

No one but Hoosiers know how much this song means to us and hearing it touches the soul

[stephaniestarkey]

Had to watch this again this year. It's not the Indy 500 without Jim Nabors. ♥️

[brucedwyer]

He’s not resting he’s busy giving concerts in heaven one day I’ll be able to see him and hear him

[charlesstratton]

I'll never forget this, Jim's beautiful Baritone voice.
After all, I heard him sing this 36 times.
My Great Uncle, 'Wild' Bill Cummings WON the 1934 Indy Race!

Long Live The Indianapolis 500 Mile Race.

[bobke]

I tear up every Indy 500 when I hear this sung. ...Its not the same without Jim but the legacy lives . Lets have a safe race tomorrow.

[lorenratzlaff]

How could you not like a legend singing this beautiful song?

[michaelmilitello]

I was at that race! Every time I hear it at race day, I get chills, and it makes me proud to be a Hoosier❤

[nothanksguy]

born and raised in those fields he used to roam.

we will never forget you, jim!

Always brought tears to my eyes and I'm not even from Indiana.
