DON'S GOLDEN GOSPEL FAVORITES AND "Playlist" favorites. Many people have never heard the older gospel artists and many others just miss them like I do. Wherever you are in your love for Southern Gospel - my goal here is to bring you some of the best from the "golden era" of southern gospel music. Thanks for viewing and joining -there's much more in the pipeline!
About Me:
Gospel music fan and collector, musician, singer, pastor, evangelist, YouTube friend and resource.
Have had the privilege to have known Jake Hess, Hovie Lister,
Rosie Rozell; J.D. and Donnie Sumner, Ed Enoch, Bill Baize; Goodman's Rusty and Sam; was a very good friend of Johnny Cook; worked with Joel Kelsey and the Song Masters back in the early 1970's; have met and talked with just about everybody else in gospel music at one time or another. Have heard and seen the "who's who" - everyone of any note in gospel music over the years. Person who left the most lasting impression on me was Danny Gaither.
Made a trip one day with Jake Hess in his Coupe DeVille he had affectionately named "Big Red!" He said one day that "I could sing," and that's the only opinion that has ever really mattered.
