Claude Gray

Claude Gray was a country music singer and songwriter best known for his smooth baritone voice and a string of hits throughout the 1960s and beyond. Born on January 26, 1932, in Henderson, Texas, he earned the nickname "The Tall Texan" due to his 6'5" stature. He rose to fame with early hits like "Family Bible," which he co-wrote and originally performed before it was famously recorded by Willie Nelson, and "I'll Just Have a Cup of Coffee (Then I'll Go)," which became one of his signature songs.

Gray's style blended traditional country with a polished Nashville sound, earning him a solid fan base and chart success during the golden era of country music. Over the course of his career, he recorded several albums and remained active as a performer for decades. While he never achieved the superstar status of some of his contemporaries, Claude Gray remained a respected and beloved figure in classic country music circles.
