I love this song. and i love vestal and the happy goodmans! there will never be another family like them! i cant wait to get to Heaven and hear them sing again! i'm not as talented as they are, but i do sing their songs. check out my vids and leave feedback if you want. Thanks! I love the Happy Goodmans! God blessed the Earth when He put the Goodmans on it to sing! and also thanks hoover for posting your vids! i love them! i appreciate you! thanks hoover!
this is a great song but never could be sung as great as the goodmans.. they are the best,, and the happy goodmans.. i know they are pretty much the same group..ing them... thank you for putting them on here..God Bless you and the goodmans..
The splendid group, "The Happy Goodmans'" were at there very best in 1974! Their legacy in the Southern Gospel Music Industry will endure for eons of time! Miss them all !!
There will never be another Vestal Goodman, her lasting legacy will endure for all of eternity! Jesus has indeed welcomed her into the fabulous Glory of his vast Kingdom, the Splendor of Heaven is all your Vestal...enjoy..your work here is done!
I hope you won't be waiting for the ones who decide to adorn themselves with the belongings of the world. They will be the lost ones. I know where they started and I have seen where they have ended. Not Good!
God bless you for putting this up. I am sitting here tearing up because my family and I went to see the Goodmans back in the late 70's. It was so wonderful, my Mom and Dad loved the Goodmans, we always their albums going. My mom met Vestal at the concert. My mom passed away this Dec. and I hope she and Vestal are singing together, as my mother always wanted. this brings so many memories. Praise the Lord, and may he bless you.
well one thing,she said she was certain she'd be here when he returns,guess she kind of missed on that one..but thats ok,we all know she will be in heaven for sure anyway
i listen to this song and other vestel songs to hear her sing this song puts a chill down me spine you can feel god all over this I LOVE IT VESTEL YOU ARE GREATLY MISSED
I am a devoted follower of Jesus Christ. Johnny Cook was one of my most favorite singers in the 70's and early 80's. I even named my only son after him. We became friends with him and his lovely wife. Unfortunatly we lost Johnny and my son Johnny about 10 years ago. Gospel music lost one of the best there was. God bless you Hoover for putting all of these videos on here. Where can I find the ones of Johnny Cook?
There will never, ever be another family that can sing like the Happy Goodman Family. This video is a great reminder to me of a by-gone era in gospel music. Music today is too polished and "rehearsed". Thanks for the great video. Blessings to all who hear.
If only I could tell you all what Vestal Goodman meant to me....and still does! She was my hero if I ever had one. And I've got the hanky to prove it! Thanks for this clip. It brings back so many memories.
Thank you hoover4000 you always suprise me with the greatest treasures. this one is gold and will be enjoyed over and over.Thank you and God Bless you.Larry in Jacksonville
i used to be in the funeral business and pentacostal women would wear their hair in whats they call the "rats". they would roll their into something like a halo very close to their head. after the funeral some would take it out and they would have hair clear down their back.
when my grandmother passed, they took her hair down and it was almost as long as she was tall. The church she was in gave pins to those who have not missed a sunday, and she had 38. I miss her when I watch these videos, I remember as a little boy she would listen to the Goodmans on Sunday before church
Always makes me feel joyous watching (and listening to hear precious voice)the pleasure Vestal received and just shined EVERYTIME she sang. LOVE HER ENJOYMENT WRITTEN ALL OVER her beautiful face.
The Goodman's proclaimed the gospel in their singing and in their lives. Their music ministry led me to Christ. I can't wait to hear them again in heaven. I miss them so much.
Correction to what I wrote: Vestal and Howard pastored a church in Madisonville, Kentucky (not Indiana). Praise be to God that Bill Gaither helped them be rediscovered by a whole new generation of southern gospel lovers.
this group is always a blessing to my soul. they take you so near to the reality of who God is and what His rewards will be. I really want to meet them when I get to heaven, especially Vestal.
I always loved The Happy Goodmans along with the Hinsons. They were and always be my 2 favorite southern gospel singing groups. This music is what I grew up listening to as a child and still love to hear it instead of this stuff we have in our churches today. This music is the best!!!
It really hurts to know all of these dear ones are gone, but we know they are singing in heaven, God Bless them. Someday we can hear them again on another shore.Berni

Vestal was born in Fyfe, Alabama, and lived much of her life in Alabama, Madisonville, Indiana, and in Nashville
Her biography "Vestal" is very inspiring. This woman's musical testimony brought me to Christ.
