From  playing stadiums, coliseums and getting high with some of the biggest  rock stars in the world to being strung out on heroin and cocaine and  trapped in a seemingly hopeless pit of depression and loneliness, its  all here, the good, bad and the ugly. I did finally find what I was  looking for, but it wasn\u0092t in drugs, money or fame. I found God.\u0094<\/p>\n<p> Le Fevre was just 17 years old and in the Army when he wrote his first  song, &#8220;Without Him.&#8221; He was performing that song on stage at a Gospel  convention in Memphis, when unbeknownst to him, Elvis Presley was there.  Shortly thereafter, Presley recorded the song for his Grammy-winning,  multi-platinum album, &#8220;How Great Thou Art,&#8221; making Le Fevre a wealthy  and famous teenager, nearly overnight. Le Fevre embarked on a rock and  roll journey that he documents in \u0093Live Forever\u0094 with more than 100  photos, many which have never been seen before. <\/p>\n<p> Mylon Le Fevre was born into the pioneering Southern Gospel family, The  Le Fevre&#8217;s, and he spent some time as a member of the famed Stamps  Quartet (1966\u00961968). He released a series of solo projects (1964-2003)  for Columbia Records, Skylite Records, Atlantic Records and Star Song  Records, and has recorded and performed with Eric Clapton, Elton John,  Billy Joel, Duane Allman, Berry Oakley, Little Richard, Steve Winwood,  Mick Fleetwood and The Who, among others. In 2005, Le Fevre was inducted  into the Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame, and in 2007, he was  inducted into the Georgia Music Hall of Fame. <\/p>\n<p> Sources:<br \/>www.mylon.org<br \/> www.heritagebuilders.com<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heritage Builders is proud to announce the release of Mylon Le Fevre\u0092s autobiography, &#8220;Live Forever.&#8221;&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3447","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3447\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
