Okay, I give up. who is he?

Nope, never heard of him or that show although he does look a little like a young Roy Castle.

Didn't even know he was a fudge packer go figure :1orglaugh

he was gay. he was funny in more than one way :winkwink: he didn't come out till very later in life. they killed people in his time.

Only gomer pyle which i know is from movie full metal jacket lol

god i remember that crap :(

Well Golly

True. He looks happy here good he came clean and lived a full life

I watched him growing up. He was the mechanic on the Andy Griffin show and the goofball marine and Gomer Pyle USMC. His name was Jim Nabors and he had a surprisingly nice voice and recorded several songs.

He was a real crooner! I used to watch his reruns every summer, only thing that was on, Andy Griffith was good stuff.

You beat me to it. :thumbsup

i thought goober(his cousin goober pyle) was the mechanic. he died in 2012 :( damn i feel sad. thank god i took up drinking today

I had no idea that Jim Neighbors was gay. That must have been a huge deal for him back then - very taboo.

I honestly forgot all about this. When I heard he died I went to IMDb - Movies, TV and Celebrities - IMDb to look up what other work he had done, and came across this show. I remember the intro, but don't remember the show. It sure looks awful, but for kids it looks like fun.

34 Years of singing at the Indianapolis 500. Pretty unique voice. Here is his last visit there:

Shazam..RIP Jim

I used to watch him as Gomer Pyle and the first time I heard him sing, it blew me away. That deep voice coming from such a goofy guy. RIP.
