Aside from acting and writing, Leslie Jordan’s net worth likely took another boost with his debut gospel album. The Guardian notes he put out the album, “Company’s Comin’,” which featured duets from heavy hitters like Dolly Parton, and Eddie Vedder.
During an interview with Esquire, the interviewer asked Jordan about his potential for winning a Grammy Award. “Oh, my God. Oh! A Grammy?” he said. “I don’t know. I’ll say a funny thing. The song that I did with Dolly Parton went back and forth quite a bit. She is an artist and she is a musician and she takes it so serious. There was this one note that I couldn’t hit. She said, ‘I had a lot of my family come in and do some of the background vocals.’ And I thought, ‘I didn’t know that. Oh, my God.'”
