This is the first time I've looked at comments like this on mom, dad, and I singing. Thanks to those who loved us and to those who didn't, I guess it's good I've developed tough skin! Whether you like The Rambos or not...NOBODY wrote them like Mama! Wow! This is the first time I’ve looked at comments like this on mom, dad, and I singing.

However, if not ...here goes... Dottie Rambo is without question, in my opinion, one of the most prolific writers of ALL TIME. Some say "the best female since Fannie Crosby." Forget it ... Fanny Crosby never wrote a more powerful lyric than those of Dottie Rambo and I understand that she wrote none of her melodies. Dottie was gifted with a special anointing from God. She didn't write music, everything was by ear. But the lyrics and the melodies were her's. So, she is not any less a writer than Fanny Crosby. And as far as the gender goes ...what would make someone even classify anyone's talent in writing by it? She's just the best. Now, the set of this video is a TBN set and this is from the 80's when Dottie did a show on TBN called "DOTTIE RAMBO MAGAZINE." This particular episode just was to highlight her family. She had other guests and inteviewed them, as well as singing and such. I never saw the show, but I have a lot of video footage from it. This arrangement of the song STINKS! Dony was doing the arranging then and he is just NOT the proper one to arrange ANYTHING RAMBO! It was not the right style for Dottie's song nor for the Rambos to sing. During that period, I didn't like the sound very much. I am such a die-hard Dottie fan, I still bought it, but didn't listen to very much of it. The Rambos best sound to me was in the 70's. After the really old stuff and before the hideous arranging of her music by Dony. Then in her last days, it was wonderful just having her back! I would sit and listen for as long as she wanted to talk or sing. I didn't mind that years of being sick had weakened her body and voice ... it was still DOTTIE RAMBO and she was still bigger than life to me and to those who went to see her! She was a wonderful woman, an anointed and prolific writer, and a good singer when doing it her way and not someone else's way. All my favorite songs through the years were always the ones that featured Dottie. She WAS the reason I ever started being a Rambo fan and I remained her fan until the end!

I have no clue what you are trying to say. And for the love of God folks, can one of you come up with a response that goes beyond “I know you are but what am I?” Denise, I have followed the GVB from the beginning and I have been a fan of Guy’s from the start. That’s why I’m interested. Your answer was lame. For all of you enjoying you fantasy of me running a TMZ of SG, the problem is, I don’t know anything. All I know is about the Guy situation, and strangely enough, there are always a few that come running out in a tizzy to tell me that I am nuts and that I should let it go. There is an old saying, when you throw a rock into a pack of dogs, the one that yelps loudest got hit. Sure would like to know why you are yelping Denise. Wade, you’re so screwed up you can’t remember what you wrote. And which is it? You know the details surrounding Guy, or you don’t? You claimed to know everything. Wade wrote: “Y’all leave Dottie alone for having a special relationship with a bass singer. That has been going on since cave man days. Women love the vibrations of a DEEP voice.” Wade, I would respond, but you post was illegible. I have no clue what you are trying to say.

Reba was, at that time, establishing her solo career. On the next album, however, Reba was back. The album was called "Crossin' Over." The title was meant to highlight the direction the Rambos were taking towards a more contemporary sound. Patty rejoined the Rambos for their "Rambo Reunion" album.

That has been going on since cave man days. Women love the vibrations of a DEEP voice. It works for many of us!! The most fun thing from watching this video is watching some of the connected videos on youtube. WHO is PATTY Carpenter??? She was with the Rambo's on some of the RAMBO REUNION Videos!!! I am not old enough to remember much of The Rambos on the stage at Brutha Mulls Singings. So Patty must have been a RAMBO of sme kind at some point right??? Come on Q-Man I know you will know!! She sure was fun to look at. I am Surprised CVH did not mention her when we talked about SGM Hotties!! But she might have been to tall for him!! :-))) Anothr funny thing was to look at the videos over the years and to note how much younger Reba & Dony look now! I wonder who did there work??? I sure would like to hear/watch Destiny sing more. I love a Goth Girl!! Y’all leave Dottie alone for having a special relationship with a bass singer. That has been going on since cave man days.
