His reputation as a premiere vocalist has led to performances with internationally known singers Patti Labelle, Jennifer Holiday, James Taylor, Aerosmith, Rod Stewart, Cissy Houston, Keith Lockhart, Tramaine & Edward Hawkins and Natalie Cole. His talents have also garnered numerous awards including 1st place in the 2000 Encore Silver Note Sing Off as well as 1st place in the 1996 Searching for the Stars competition.

Feedback
- I asked Gordon to perform at a memorial service. Everyone present was in awe of the soulfulness and spirituality of his performance. His voice has incredible power, and his interpretation of the music brought tears to my eyes. In addition, he spent a considerable amount of time in advance of the event working with me to make sure the result would meet my expectations. He was fantastic, and I could have asked for nothing more. -- Nancy K, Cambridge, MA, 9/26/2009
- Gordon is outstanding. He sang at our wedding and blew everyone away. His voice is powerful, his presence warm, and extremely professional. It was easy to plan and communicate with him, and he kept in touch and his voice/music blessed our amazing day. -- Colleen O, Albany, NY, 7/18/2009
