The Pilgrim scored Gatlin his first hit, "Sweet Becky Walker", and the next year "Broken Lady" was #1 on the charts. All three brothers were inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1976. The 1977 album High Time introduced the #1 hit "I Just Wish You Were Someone I Love." In 1979, the brothers decided to become an official trio. Over the course of the next decade, a few of their Top 40 hits included "Denver," "She Used To Be Somebody's Baby," "I Don't Want To Cry," "Statues Without Hearts," "The Lady Takes The Cowboy Every Time," and "Talkin' To The Moon." In 1979, Larry won the ACM's Top Male Vocalist, the brothers' album Straight Ahead won Album of the Year, and "All The Gold In California" won Single of the Year. The Gatlin Brothers are currently traveling and performing in "The Gatlin Brothers Never Ending Reunion Tour" around the country.
