The Rambos - Build My Mansion Next Door to Jesus

Dottie, Reba and Buck Rambo compose the gospel trio, The Rambos. Dottie penned most of the songs the group sang. They were very popular in the 1960's, 1970's and 1980's. Many hymnals today include songs written by Dottie. The trio were pacesetters in gospel harmony, inverting harmony as necessity when the melody got too high for the lead singer. This way of singing had not usually been done before The Rambos. Today it is done all the time. Build My Mansion Next Door to Jesus was one of the Rambos most well-known songs.

Jesus spoke of manny mansions in heaven in the gospels. He told us to give up material things here on earth that would take time away from the Word ( Jesus ).

I have always loved Dottie, even from the time I was just a little boy, about 9 years old, and the first time I ever heard her singing. :-) I actually met her in person once before too. She placed her hand on my right shoulder and smiled, and told my Mama, that God's hand was on my life. She's up there, making heaven's bells ring, I'm certain of it! :-)

I've never understood the obsession with "mansions" in Southern gospel music. Maybe the poverty of rural communities led them to assume that heaven is just dripping with gold and mansions, diamond encrusted harps,etc. Especially considering it seems completely at odds with the central theme of Jesus in the Bible of GIVING UP material desires.

Anything Dottie has done is classic.

Because of the very strong resemblence of Dottie in Reba, Dottie is not gone until Reba is gone...Their genes are very strong.
