Rudy Gatlin

Following the Gospel Concert at Will Rogers Auditorium in 1997 when Larry Gatlin was inducted into the Hall of Fame, the TGMM&HF Board knew that there would come a time when it would be appropriate to induct the rest of the Gatlin family. That time came in 2003 at the first annual Calvin Wills Memorial Concert in Arlington. Steve, Rudy and LaDonna were added to the list of honored Texans. Rudy, the youngest brother, was not only a featured artist at that event, but has continued his support of the TGMM&HF by joining the board of directors. The parents who started it all, Curly and Billie Gatlin also live in Dallas, and Rudy certainly represents the family well. His energy and enthusiasm for the arts and all things TEXAS is a great asset to the organization.
