Children, I'm sorry, but he was one of a kind. A superlative minstrel and churchmen was our beloved Uncle Ralph. We here in Baltimore will never forget the many visits he made to Cornerstone and St. Martins. When he came to town, we would have impromtu concerts. You talk about a time...ah...my goodness!!!
Uncle Ralph passed away in the late 90s. I attended the memorial service and o what a time was had. Many of the compositions he wrote, were sung. One that stands out is JOYBELLS. For those who dont know, First Church of Deliverance is not to be under estimated in the gospel arena. Many church choirs and musicians have learned from their multi talented musical department. First Church has set the tone and standard for gospel music many years ago, in and out of Chicago.
Sing!!! It's so good to see Ralph Goodpasteur! Those of us who are too young to remember, or those of us who aren't from Chicago, have heard so much about him. God Bless his memory, his spirit, and the legacy that he left behind!
May God forever bless the spirit of, "Uncle Ralph," one of Chicago's greatest Musicians...
