The Happy Goodmans - Im Living in Canaan Now

Relimes let me 'splain that...
The Happy Goodmans were as Holy
Ghost Pentecostal as you could get, and
in those days the "Holiness Churches",
(as they were called then) didn't allow
their women to wear makeup, jewelry,
dresses with short sleeves and didn't let
them CUT THEIR HAIR!
So women like Vestal who had a lot of
hair could only keep "piling it up" 'cause
it would have touched the floor if she
"let it down".
Anyway this is how I remember these
folks back in the day! Bless You

@4freespeech Holiness churches are not a thing of the past. They are still alive and thriving today. I attend one. Women shouldn't cut their hair because in the bible a woman's hair is her crown and glory. No make-up is because that would be considered vanity, and the bible teaches not to be vain. No jewelry is because we should not adorn ourselves with costly array. And the long sleeve is just modesty. Just thought I would elaborate on what you said.

What the hell kind of hairdue is that with the lady, who does she think she is Marge Simpson?

this was also a VERY long time ago...

love em

Since the beginning of time, there hasn't been a group of anointed singers to perfect the art of conveying the salvation story than this group of gifted singers.."The Happy Goodman Family"

You should hear the Hinsons sing this, it is really anointing...not taking anything away from the Goodmans.

I did! The Hinson's are also on the top of my all-time favorite southern gospel groups! They indeed sing this song very well, I love it when Chris Hawkins reaches those high notes--she is the best!! Thanks for the reply brother!

Vestel looks like she's wearing an Aztec temple on her head. lol....ah, the sixties.

my granny still wears one(its about 3 feet high off her head) lol
