I'm watching a DVD by The Happy Goodman Family "Live In Texas" (Sam, Howard, Vestal and Rusty) from a concert they did in Arlington, TX in 1969. This was about the time I first discovered The Happy Goodman Family and gospel music. I've tried to explain to people the excitement The Goodmans brought to the stage. It was electrifying. There's never been a group like them, before or since. They were unique. Rusty described their style by saying "they were like pigs let loose in the living room."
The entire DVD is a treasure to me. It's a trip back in time. I'm sitting on the front row and these four voices are changing my life and my future. The Goodmans and The Rambos rocked my world.

Lots of memories of when they came to our town. I used to play their albums over and over. They are still truly a blessing even though they have made their journey!
The late Rusty Goodman has a long list of soul changin songs he has written and performed. He is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation and beyond. The number of souls in Heaven has increased due to this richly talented singer songwriter !!
Bro. Mark I am so glad to see you posting some of my favorite groups of my youth. I also enjoy all of you stuff serious as well as serious keep up the good work
Vestals voice listening here, and in more recent years....just got better and better with age. Amazing! No one can touch her. I grew up going to the "all night singings" in Jackson, MS at the City Auditorium and would take nothing for my parents passing down that heritage to me. Even my hubby loves it now as much as I do and he never grew up hearing this. God bless.
There'll never be another Vestal but I heard a group recently called The Diplomats that has a lady that is a close runner. She has some kind of voice! God still brings some on the scene to carry on, bless HIS NAME!
