He also was a member of the Oak Ridge Boys. He appeared at Elvis Week in August 2025 when The Imperials were inducted as Graceland Legends.

Gordon also wrote the song 'Bringing It Back' which Elvis recorded on March 12, 1975, at RCA's Studio C in Hollywood for his 'Today' album when Gordon was for a short-time a member of Elvis' backing vocalists 'Voice'. Gordon played the clavinet on this recording. 

Terry Blackwood stated: "I just heard the sad news that my singing buddy, Greg Gordon, passed away peacefully in his sleep. He sang in the Imperials from 1971 to 1972. He was an amazing singer and wrote many songs, as well. RIP Greg."

Happy Birthday
