Vestal is an icon in gospel music. She is listened to today as much as ever. I listened to her from the early seventies up to date. She will always be the Queen of Gospel Music. I love listen to her DVD’s today. Thank you for showing me her and Howard’s graves. I loved to hear the Happy Gokdman’s. Thank you again.
Ive visited their grave back in August 2021, never will forget it!! There was a balloon on the ground about 15 ft from their grave that had the word 'Party' on it, probably floated there from a kid who had visited another grave nearby. Well, no coincidence because where else did she pass ...Celebration, FL. I went to read their grave song and immediately received a vibrating healing buzzing in my body. I went back home but stopped on the way in Florence, KY at a hotel there to sleep. In the morning in the shower there, I cried tears of joy receiving a healing after saying a prayer to bless their family. I felt the buzzing for a whole THREE MONTHS afterwards!! Never met them in person but wow, never had that experience at any other gravesite in my life. One of Vestal's nieces had told me how to find her grave after I met her on that same trip. I heard cicadas, too but also the anointing right through that sacred soil there, I can just imagine when heaven comes how I will feel!! Ty Yahuah 🙏🫂💜
I have a little story about her that my Dad told me. My Dad was a big fan of the Gaithers and of Vestal. When George Jones had his near fatal accident in the late 1990's someone asked him if there was anything they could do for him. At that point the doctors didn't expect George to survive. George told them he wanted to see Vestal. George had never even met Vestal before. They told him they would try thinking that possibly she wouldn't even come to the hospital. Vestal did come and she prayed with George. George of course survived and for the remainder of his life he credited his praying with Vestal for saving his life.
@@MARLONdaman My friend, you really spoke the truth. I had the privilege of meeting Vestal & Howard back in the early 90's. They were both fine people and served the Lord in both the spoken word and by song. God surely blessed them all the days of their lives.
I was blessed to sing with Auntie Vestal back in the day in my late teens early 20's. I adore her while she lived and to this day after her passing. I miss her so much.
Good speed my sister. Vestal led me to the Lord backstage at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium 58 years ago and I still serve Him. She was a true and wonderful Lady.
My great grandma was a fan of Vestal most of her life. One of her funeral wishes was that 2 songs that Vestal was known for be sang at her funeral and we did. God Walks the Dark Hills was her all time #1 favorite. And although Dottie Rambo wrote the song, my grandma wanted The Holy Hills of Heaven Call me. Vestal, The Goodman family, The Speers and many other southern gospel legends made me a die hard southern gospel fan and it is my favorite genre of music. And the Goodman family are my favorites!! Great video!!
I got to see Miss Vestal a year before she passed away. She didn't need a microphone...and she brought down the house. I saw Vestal in Toronto Ontario. I was blessed to see her. 🙏✝️🕊 RIP Vestal and Howard.
Loved the Happy Goodman Family since I was young as I too was Blessed to have been brought up in The CHURCH OF GOD BY MY LOVING CHRISTIAN MOM SINCE I WAS 2WEEKS OLD AND BEING IN REVIVAL SERVICES UNTIL AFTER MIDNIGHT OR GOING TO OLD TENT MEETINGS IT WAS WONDEFUL, YET I THINK ALL OF US YOUNG PEOPLE DID NOT LIKE ALL THAT REALLY HOT TEMPERSTURES, BUT AS WE GOT OLDER WE LOVED THOSE WONDERFUL SERVICES!OVED VESTAL BEAUTIFUL SONGS AS SHE WAS TRULY A WONDERFUL CHRISTIAN LADY WITH ONE SUPER STRONG AND POWERFUL VOICE! STILL LOVE TO LISTEN TO THEM SING AND I LOVED THAT SONG ALSO" I DON'T REGRET A MILE I'VE TRAVELED FOR THE LORD❤WHAT A WONDERFUL FRIEND IS OUR LOVING SAVIOUR!WE WILL GET TO HEAR THEM ONCE AGAIN WHEN THE LORD COMES FOR US❤IT WILL BE SHOUTING TIME IN HEAVEN❤❤😊
I was privileged to stay with Howard and Vestal in their home, and more times with Rusty. They were wonderful people and Christians, and my all-time favorite mixed Gospel group.
I knew the woman who made her handkerchiefs. Her last name was Brown, we knew her as sister Brown. Sister Brown was a friend of my family and when my grandmother passed away. She made the same kind of handkerchiefs for many of us. Each one had different designs of lace sewn on them. They were beautiful. I still have mine today.
I have only just found out about them, my mom got me onto them. I just Vestal's voice, i wished i had found them sooner, but i still play their songs quite often, i have even got her on now, they were fantastic, may she rest in eternal peace along with the rest of the group.
My son at two years was diagnosed with a brain rumor. My sister in law and brother were at a Gaither concert. She told Vestal about him Vestal anointed and prayed over the handkerchief she had used that night. He is 29 and still has it.
Years ago I wrote a letter to Vestal Goodman. To my surprise she replied to me with her own personal stationery. What a beautiful letter she wrote. Thanks to my Dad for turning me onto the Happy Goodmans. I will never forget me and my dad sitting around playing our records.
When I was a teenage back in the 60's I would get up early on Sunday mornings to watch The Happy Goodmans, Floriida Boys and the Dixie Echoes. Such awesome gospel music.
Thanks so much for doing this one! My sweet Granny who passed away on April 4th loved The Happy Goodmans. Her favorite song was “I Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now.” I fully believe they’re up there singing it together now. ❤
Sis Vestal forever loved,so too is Dottie Rambo and all the other Southern Gospel greats. Sleep peacefully beautiful souls, until then. I grew up on Southern Gospel music. I love them all.
Truly one of the most iconic groups in gospel music - Her handkerchief wasn't a prop.. or a security blanket. She kept it in case she needed to wipe tears.
My late Grandmother's favorite Gospel Group everyday at noon our local radio station played gospel music she called in for the Happy Goodman song almost every day.
I bought my first Happy Goodman vinyl album titled, "This Happy House" sometime in the early 1970's. What a group and what a voice Vestal had. Thanks for covering this on your travels. It's greatly appreciated!
Another interesting video from this channel. I am going to look their music up and listen. Love wha was written on their gravestone. Thanks for taking us along. Have a great week and God bless!
I grew up listening to the Happy Goodman's. They performed in our church in Evansville IN a few times and I went to MadisonvilIe KY to their church in the 70s to hear them. I loved listening to them all, but Rusty (Charles) was my favorite. I sang his songs all through my Bible College tours. If you haven't read Vestals book, get it and read it. It gives a complete history of the family telling both good and the struggles they encountered which were many. The book is titled simply "Vestal".
I saw them with the Gaither’s in Chattanooga as walking out I said I could die now I had seen my hero and mentor. Several other young ladies my age were just as thrilled as we all walked the sidewalk singing “Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now” RIP my beloved Sister I will meet you in heaven on day.
Powerful story of our Howard and Vestal Goodman. Better known as The Happy Goodman Family. Thet had a specual annointing upon their lives to sing the way they did. Even though they are no longer with us their music lives on. Vestal's voice was always so rich. When she sings those good old favourites like ROCK OF AGES, THE HOLY HILLS, GOD WALKS THE DARK HILLS, TIL THE STORM and many more two numerous to mention. This couple will never be forgiven. I've sung most of of these as solo pieces apt my church and other events. What a blessing! Their music has touched my life tremendrously. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.❤
I’m so sorry I spelled vestals name wrong..I sure didn’t mean to…she was always very special to me an Howard to..looking forward to seeing them again one day..
Vestal brings tears when she sings. I KNOW SHES IN HEAVEN with JESUS. What expression she had. So real & sincere. Whoever reads this, please pray for me. WALLY JONES Thank you.
Wolfe and I love us some Vestal. She could move mountains with her voice 😊. I’ll bet heaven sounds amazing with all those great southern gospel singers.
My Mom and Dad talked about Vestal and Howard quite a few times. I really do not remember any of her songs but my Uncle Walter always sung gospel music and would talk of Vestal some. God Bless and be safe in the heat this week. Hugs.
Thank you for this, I have the Goodmans on my list of places to visit also. I have an email from Vestal she sent me after I read her book and I had sent her an email telling her how much I loved her book! The Goodmans are a part of my childhood, singing their songs in church. Loved this video!
I grew up listening to the Happy Goodmans ! My dad would have the radio on every Sunday morning for Jubilee ! Southern gospel is in my soul ! God had blessed our family with lots of musical talent and my dad , traveled when I was young ! My brother and sister and law went on to become a group who traveled as well , but many of our children now are in music ministry for the Lord , and all of our children have writing skills and play at least one instrument, or more ! So thankful for my Christian heritage and the music that impacted my life ! Please keep doing this !! ❤
Vestal one night at steak and shake paid for the meal for 7 police officers of the Chattanooga Police Department. Only one person knew who she was,, after that I was a fan, although I dont like the southern gospel. I was one of the seven police officer.
I only discovered your channel today. This was so wonderful and you did an excellent job. May God richly reward and bless you all the days of your life. Thank you for this.
Thank you for sharing. May God bless you. Vestal is my favourite singer and my wife is just about to give birth to a baby girl who I'm going to name Vestal. From Kenya 🇰🇪

I grew up with the Happy Goodman Family on Sunday morning's Gospel Singing Jubilee, when her voice showcased the title song, and Howard's fleeting hands on the piano. (Thank you, Mizz Newkirk.)

She changed it to Vestel when she was in high school because a teacher insisted on pronouncing it incorrectly. She just left it that way until she had to get a passport. Then she changed it back to Vestal. She told about this in her book. You can get one of her books on e-bay for just a few dollars. You would probably enjoy reading it. I did.
Thanks for showing Vestal and Howard's grave, I am a fan of theirs, I have DVD'S , and Cassettes and the Big tapes I forgot what you call them, but I keep them all because I love them very much.thanks again. Be bless.
Hey Buddy, Your doing a great job. I sure do enjoy your post especially with Southern Gospel & Country Stars. Keep up the good work. Keith from down here in Georgia
Thanks for the video. A fun video suggestion would be to showcase the area their home is located. I believe their son Rick & Diane live in the house now.

Vestal did not save his life God did we praise the creation than we praise the creator 🙏🙏🙏

Hard to believe the Goodman's have been gone that long. No doubt one of the best in Southern Gospel music. Thanks for posting.
Love her so much and beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤
Good speed my sister. Vestal led me to the Lord backstage at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium 58 years ago and I still serve Him. She was a true and wonderful Lady.
This lady had an amazing voice! She is now singing in Glory,.
If you can't say anything nice... please don't say anything please.@@ellahogan779

One of the greatest voices in Southern Gospel music. She most certainly was the Queen of Gospel Music. Her sainted voice is most certainly missed.

She made the same kind of handkerchiefs for many of us. Each one had different designs of lace sewn on them. They were beautiful. I still have mine today.

Was this on the Gospel Singing Jubilee?
I listened to them every Saturday night on KPDQ in Portland Oregon on the radio for as many years as they were on.
@@blanton1624Yes it was!! I watched it every Sunday morning!!
@@blanton1624yes it was !
Thanks so much for doing this one! My sweet Granny who passed away on April 4th loved The Happy Goodmans. Her favorite song was “I Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey Now.” I fully believe they’re up there singing it together now. ❤
they are with the biggest angel band with sound so incredible it would cause a person to explode
Written by Rusty it is inscribed on his tombstone in Burnwell ,Dora Alabama.
Never ever be another Vestal. I loved Her. Loved Jake Hess, Glen Payne, Stephen Hill, Jessy Dixon, Dottie Rambo and so many more.
Jesse Dixon was a great singer indeed
Sis Vestal forever loved,so too is Dottie Rambo and all the other Southern Gospel greats.
Sleep peacefully beautiful souls, until then.
I grew up on Southern Gospel music. I love them all.
Enjoyed, Goodman’s were my favorite, met them a few times, have all their signatures, and my picture with them. Can’t wait to hear them in heaven
Truly one of the most iconic groups in gospel music - Her handkerchief wasn't a prop.. or a security blanket. She kept it in case she needed to wipe tears.
Thankyou. I loved to hear Vestal sing.
I grew up listening to and watching The Happy Goodman family with my Momma
Same here...GOOD TIMES GREAT MUSIC GREAT MEMORIES. I MISS MY MOM & THEM.
I love her songs she really blessed our hearts with her songs.Sleep on vestal and wait on that resurrection day when you shall see your creator.
I love Vestal . I still listen to her music till this day.rest well Queen
Thank you for showing me where vestal's grave is.
I adore her very much
My late Grandmother's favorite Gospel Group everyday at noon our local radio station played gospel music she called in for the Happy Goodman song almost every day.
I still play their songs at nights before falling asleep
My Dad and Mom was great fans of the Goodman family, would watch and listen every chance they had.
The Goodmans were unique and well loved for their gospel music..they were a blessing in their time
She held the hanky to dab perspiration. Thank you for this video. I'm a big fan of Vestal and the Happy Goodmans. ❤
What a wonderful place and a wonderful lady that we all will miss but can cherish that beautiful voice of hers and the family’s
I remember them back in the early 70s on the Sunday morning Gospel Jubilee TV show as a kid with The Florida Boys
My Family the Hinson’s was on Gospel Jubilee hour. Great Memories!
I bought my first Happy Goodman vinyl album titled, "This Happy House" sometime in the early 1970's. What a group and what a voice Vestal had. Thanks for covering this on your travels. It's greatly appreciated!

Loved this lady and her singing!❤
Vestal was my 2nd cousin. I've been wanting to visit her and Howard for a long time now but just haven't been able to. Thanks for sharing!
Her and Dottie Rambo were the best, wish you would cover more Gospel singers that sung on the Gaither videos
I’ve started on a few to hopefully visit before the end of the year. Thanks for the suggestions. That’s what helps drive the channel!
Awesome, thank you
Amen! Dottie and Vestal were the best!❤

Lots of people back then while praising God would wave a hanky. There is a flag flown high from the castle of my heart. That’s scriptural.
Wolfe and I love us some Vestal. She could move mountains with her voice 😊. I’ll bet heaven sounds amazing with all those great southern gospel singers.
Michele, thank you so much for watching!! You know it has to sound amazing up there. ❤

Thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing. May God bless you. Vestal is my favourite singer and my wife is just about to give birth to a baby girl who I'm going to name Vestal. From Kenya 🇰🇪
Congratulations!
Saw her in Atlanta GA. Loved her & them. ❤
Thank you for showing us where they are buried. Loved their singing.
Did anyone else notice the spelling differences on her 1971 'HALLELUJAH' album and her headstone?

OMG! I had to subscribe.
She changed it to Vestel when she was in high school because a teacher insisted on pronouncing it incorrectly. She just left it that way until she had to get a passport. Then she changed it back to Vestal. She told about this in her book. You can get one of her books on e-bay for just a few dollars. You would probably enjoy reading it. I did.
I saw Jake Hess in the background in one of the pictures! I'm really good friends with his son and daughter-in-law 😊
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent Video!
Thank u
@@BackRoads1 You're very welcome!
Thanks for showing Vestal and Howard's grave, I am a fan of theirs, I have DVD'S , and Cassettes and the
Big tapes I forgot what you call them, but I keep them all because I love them very much.thanks again. Be bless.
Great worshiper, love her home going home songs 🎵 ❤
Thank you for your sharing with all of us
Lordy how I miss Auntie Vestal. Such an amazing Godot woman thay exuded grace in every way.
It looks like this cemetary does not have above ground monuments on graves. It makes mowing easier. 😊
Hey Buddy, Your doing a great job. I sure do enjoy your post especially with Southern Gospel & Country Stars. Keep up the good work. Keith from down here in Georgia
Thanks for watching!
You Betcha ! ! !
Grew up watching her on Jubilee show
You gotta go to Woodlawn in Detroit...PLENTY of notable graves/markers/crypts to see!
Thank you for posting
God Bless you
Thanks for the video.
A fun video suggestion would be to showcase the area their home is located. I believe their son Rick & Diane live in the house now.
Serving God with her singing
If you could do a video on Betty Jean Robinson grave that would be great I'd definitely appreciate it.
Added to the list. She is close to Minnie pearl. Thanks for the suggestion!
Oh, I didn't know she had gone.I LOVED to hear her sing on TBN
