Lacking the means to pay for expensive medical 

testing, Robert Jordan has invested great effort in 

finding another way to address his wife's sleep 

apnea, a condition Jordan feared would take her life 

and leave their 4-year-old son, Robert Jordan III, 

motherless.

Robert Jordan has long worked toward a community 

fundraising event, and the plans have all come 

together for Sunday. A soul food restaurant, Flavorz, 

at 801 Providence Blvd., is hosting a yard sale 

starting 11:30 a.m. Sunday followed by Jordan's 

own Old Skool Dinner Show.

Jordan said the sale features paintings, figurines, 

candleholders and other decor items donated by a 

local business. With each purchase, people will 

receive a ticket for door prize drawings.

At 2 p.m., the Old Skool Dinner Show begins inside 

Flavorz.

"It's going to feature my homemade chicken wing 

recipe, but Flavorz will have things from their menu 

as well," Jordan said. "During dinner I will sing 

songs from the Motown era, like 'My Girl,' 'Dock of 

the Bay,' 'Just My Imagination' and 'Me and Mrs. 

Jones.'"

Chicken wings, with Jordan's signature bold and 

zesty sauce, will be sold for 50 cents each or $5 per 

dozen, and copies of Jordan's CD will be sold for 

$3. Money raised will go toward medical expenses 

for Jennifer Jordan. Robert Jordan said Nashville 

Sleep Solutions recently donated the testing services 

that confirmed the gravity of his wife's illness.

"They said her case of sleep apnea was so severe it 

was a miracle she didn't have a heart attack in her 

sleep," he said. "Any and all support would be 

greatly appreciated."
