I remember when this documentary came on the old tNN and I begged my grandfather who bought it for me immediately. I’ve wanted to see this again for years, although it misses a lot. It mentions the Happy Goodman family in like a single sentence. But it was really cool at the time and I have looked for this for years and years.
I was raised on Southern Gospel Music, even before I was born. My mom never took music lessons, but, sat down at the piano one day and learned she had a natural talent from God., and growing up my mom was always the piano player at church .This video didn't mention the influence of Southern Gospel music and the role it played in the genesis of Rock N Roll. Every early Rock N Roller was raised in church, mostly Pentecostal. Elvis was raised in the Assembly of God church along w/Jerry Lee Lewis. I was very young when I knew this, as I thought it was cool that I was raised in the same church as Elvis was. Elvis wanted to become a Gospel singer. I've seen most of these groups at all Night- Sing- Alongs. Sadly contemporary music is the norm in most churches today. I just can't take that. I refuse to go to church until the song service is over. This music will never die.
THIS MUSIC 🎵🎶 HAD ME HOOKED ON 1997, AFTER A FALL, AND, MY RECOVERY! THANK YOU SO MUCH! I WAS 24 YEARS OLD WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS MUSIC 🎵🎶! I'M LIKE, "WHAT TOOK ME SO LONG TO DISCOVER THIS MUSIC 🎵🎶?"
Thank you for this history lesson. I am 82 and have heard just about every one of them in concert. There are two great groups that I feel should have been included, The Happy Goodmans, and The Rambos.
Don't forget Ira F. Stanphill who wrote over 500 very meaningful songs. I happened to have the deep honor of listening to he and his lovely wife when they came to our church many times to try out new songs.
I think the documentary is supposed to be leaning towards families that originated gospel music. Although "newer groups" like the Goodman's and Hinson contributed to the popularity later on, they weren't really founding groups, nor was Bill Gaither. Goodman's, Gaithers, Hinsons, Rambos were all among my favorites also because they were more of what I grew up on but not really founders. They were among the most popular and really brought it to the forefront. I listened to all of them non stop and like millions of others, we sang lots of their songs. I can remember in the South going to old tent revivals and big preachers and groups like that showing up. Those were the good times for gospel.
My parents loved the Chuck Wagon Gang! Don't know where or how they knew about them. The Chuck Wagon Gang came to Pampa, Texas in the Panhandle in the late 1950s and sang,it was free. I was maybe 12 or 13yo,and loved Ronnie,had a crush on him!! Of course he was probably 10yr older than me, but was single!! They were from Ft Worth. Of course my parents listened to the other Carter's,Mother Mabelle and AP Carter on the Grand Ol Opry. I think I heard they were related,elder Carter of the Chuck Wagon and AP Carter. It's been awhile since I read up on them, Hope I haven't gotten information wrong!!
The Happy Goodmans Family couldn’t be compared by any other group when they had Johnny Cook singing with them in their group as far as I’m concerned he had the most beautiful voice that ever graced the stage I’m sure he’s very missed by millions by many of fans
I first heard music 🎶 I mean old gospel in the early fifties I grew up with it in 1956 my dad started a gospel group and named the group the fbi quartet which stood for full blood indian quartet iv been singing gospel music since the sixties I've been writing gospelsongs since the seventies j wrote my first gospel song in 1977 I named it I'm a millionaire I have written over 200 songs 🎵 I encourage young people to get into singing gospelsongs but give their life to God please I am on the radio myself and play the guitar 🎸 our little group sing at assisted living homes to the elderly but we put God first and let the holyghost lead us
I've been a fan of Southern Gospel for 60 years! I am bothered by the fact that the emphasis throughout the Documentary has been the MUSIC AND ITS GROWTH rather than the FACT of the GOSPEL and ITS MESSAGE OF JESUS CHRIST. Jesus was NOT even mentioned in ANY of the comments throughout and HE is supposed to be the WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE MUSIC! However, to the credit of Bill and Gloria Gaither, they HAVE BROUGHT THAT EMPHASIS OF JESUS AND THE GOSPEL to the forefront in ALL that they do!
They talked about passing down from one generation to the next this beautiful uplifting Godly music. It's sad because these days it's godlessness, godless music, corruption, perversion, lies & everything evil that's being handed down. 😔
Bill and Gloria have carried Southern Gospel music for the past 30 years with videos and concerts. Who is going to step up and fill the void when they stop?
The first part of this documentary was very interesting talking about the beginning of southern gospel music, but to ignore groups like The Imperials and the Gaither Vocal Band and their undeniable influence on the genre is unforgivable. What Bill Gaither did with his Homecoming projects saved southern gospel and assured its survival for future generations
@@davepugh8815It did mention "the showmanship"of the singers!! Entertainers. So it kinda seems like popular celebrities of other singers,in a way. There have been so many now and some changed names,and married different individuals of groups I can't keep them straight,who was in what group!!
Seems the Hinson’s are always excluded from these type things. Only one time on Gaither after Kenny’s diagnosis. If it was about quartets it should’ve been called that. Some great groups that have contributed to southern gospel music are absent from this “documentary”. The McKameys for instance. Huge southern gospel songs for years. Still enjoyed it just a limited in my opinion.
No the true Holy See is Peter, Richard RICKYBEAU YUENGLING. And I, Carolyn Mi-cha-el-a Ghavam-Yuengling, am the Church. There are no more Popes in the Kingdom of zheaven. All who call themselves Pope or heavenly Father are cutoff for ever. All who pray for them are cutoff also. All ministers who fail to publicly pray for Richard Yuengling, Holy Father, and Carolyn Mi-cha-el-a Ghavam-Yuengling', Guardian, are cutoff this day at 07:00 PM ET, if they have not acknowledged publicly their allegiance to us this day. Activate now. So it is written, so let it be done. Done. Exodus 20:3. 05:33 PM
I remember every Sunday morning before church we listened to the Jubilee!
The finest music ever. Just can't beat 4 part harmony with praises to God.

I heard this new music referred to as “7-11” music. 7 words repeated 11 times. I do not like it!
The greatest music about the greatest message!
Love Southern Gospel Music so much the music and message and the artists .love this music really much .
The only thing short is Bill Gaithers contribution to southern gospel music.
Oh for sure!

This is great- Thanks for posting !
I was surprised how little attention was given to the Happy Goodman Family given their impact on the genre.
I thought the same, and Naomi & The Segos didn’t even get mentioned, and they were the first southern gospel group to sell a million records.
@@bwdw929before The Blackwood Brothers Quartet?

I can’t believe they left out Dottie Rambo and Bill Gaither!😊

I'm in Cape Town, South Africa. I've been searching for a documentary with a rich history of gospel music. Thank you so much. Blessings to you.
The Lewis Family was one of my favorites- Little Roy was just here at our county fair.

Liked all those
I always thought it was about Jesus Christ and the anointing of the Holy Spirit is what separates southern gospel from everything else
Nope…it’s about the money.
Surprised and disappointed the hinsions were not a part of this
They talked about passing down from one generation to the next this beautiful uplifting Godly music. It's sad because these days it's godlessness, godless music, corruption, perversion, lies & everything evil that's being handed down. 😔
Jesus will Open Doors for you.
Where are the Gaithers?
Bill and Gloria Gaither?
Bill and Gloria have carried Southern Gospel music for the past 30 years with videos and concerts. Who is going to step up and fill the void when they stop?
Bill Bailey has done a nice job in the SE US, but I don’t see anyone yet coming behind the Gaithers on a national and international scale.

I love Southern Gospel Music. I am not a fan of the new Contemporary Christian Music.
What ever happen to Roger Clark Stamps 1945-1953

Where is the Oakridge boys!?
They mentioned them. They mentioned that the Oakridge Boys always sang gospel until the 1970's when they went into secular music.
Amazing that a documentary on the history of gospel music could focus exclusively on white singers and composers.
Catchy songs that's how they draw you in...but their Lies
