Drop by and listen to "The King and I" at the top of the play list. Judy DeRamus with The Jordanaires a few years back recorded "The King And I". The song went #1 in the national charts. Judy was given a #1 party at the SESAC building on 16th Ave. Nashville, TN. There Judy and The Jordanaires were honored with several recognitions from the music industry and the Governor of Tennessee. Nashville Gospel
