Just a few lines for this wonderfull lady, who from heaven can read now!! Miss you Dottie!………………………………………….At the dawn of the morning, sun beams dance across the skies!The birds begin their singing, as the mountians reply!Sweet music from the heavens, bring peace beyond compare! Their brightly shinning faces,their voices solf and clear!….(Love you always Billy)

Dottie was very close to my heart. She was one of my favorite Gospet Singers. When I last seen her at the National Quartet Convention I wanted to take her picture. She said I could and why didn’t I get in it with her. I was so excited to have my picture taken with a great lady like her. I will miss her much. My prayers are with Reba and the family. God Bless.

my prayers go out to the family. I grew up listening to Dottie Rambo and I loved Tears Will Never Stain the Streets of That City!! I loved watching her with all her Homecoming Friends and now she is home with all the other homecoming heroes. Thank you Dottie for such wonderful music!

I heard Dottie and her family sing on the Trinity channel, the night before the
terrible wreck.
They were a gifted family sent from God.
I have some of her music books and I
will think of her each time I play them.

The song I have thought of with regard to these events is “I’m Gonna Leave Here Shoutin’ “. Part of the lyrics are:

I don’t want nobody weeping
When I draw my final breath;
I’ll fall asleep in the Cradle of Love, and never feel the sting of Death;
So send me a “Hallelujah!” when I finally reach my Goal,
‘Cause I’m gonna leave here shouting when my time comes to go!

I’m gonna leave here shoutin’ when I head for the Promised Land,
If I’m too feeble to praise the Lord, I’ll lift up my dying hand;
Angels (will) bear me over on wings white as snow;
Yes, I’m gonna leave here shoutin’ when my time comes to go!

She was the most prolific writer of our day. Her songs will live as long as the world turns.

For those concerned about the appeal for Dottie’s funeral expenses:

So many of you attend church each week, drop in your $5 or $20 and go out and eat a $20-$50 lunch in your “Sunday Best.”

I remember days on the road when we were given a “love offering” and were told with a knowing smile that sometimes it “is more love than offering.” People aren’t willing to put their money where their mouth is. That’s true in life….why would church be any different?

I remember well as late as the early 80’s getting a call from Glenn Payne asking if his Cathedrals could possibly stop by our church on their way through and sing for $500 and be able to sell records.

All this to say that no one should judge Dottie Rambo’s success on an assumption that by “this stage” she should be well off.

The “holy people” are very willing to leave holes in the pockets of true servants of the Lord and reward “show time” SGM by paying huge ticket prices and packing colliseums.

Dottie Rambo had a truly remarkable talent for creating the “hook” in a lyric. She was an “artist” in the truest sense of the word. What made her truly great was that her music was theologically sound. SGM has known no finer lyricist and earth’s loss is no doubt heaven’s gain. To Dottie’s family and close friend’s, we know that God has welcomed her into His arms.
