VIDEO ONE: (Dottie Rambo)
Born back in 1934, and raised near a creek in Kentucky, Dottie
loved to dangle her feet in the water and sing. There on the
banks of the stream, when Dottie was just eight years old,
something unusual happened. Dottie penned the first song and
the course of gospel music was changed forever
She's written over 2,500 tunes for a variety of genres and
styles including pop, country, and uplifting paise music. But
what Dottie Rambo is most famous for are what she calls
her 'valley songs' - tunes that describe in vivid detail the
pain that life can bring and the healing God gives to the
broken people who trust him.
VIDEO TWO: (The Lefevre's)
Gospel music has certainly seen it's share of powerhouse
singing groups but nothing compares to the homegrown harmonies
of the LeFevre family. Behind all the accolades and acclaim,
the LeFevres were a family that loved each other. Still, they
weren't without their problems - most of which were caused by
the pressures of a career in music that began in the 1920's and
lasted nearly six decades. Along the way they earned numerous
Grammy nominations and Dove Awrds. And in the exclusively male
world of Southern Gospel Music, Eva Mae LeFevre broke through
barriers that earned her the title Southern Gospel's 'First
Lady'.
