This reminds me of my childhood in south Texas when I'd go and sit as close as I could to a black church at the end of our street and listen to their gospel music on Sundays and during funerals. I loved it because it moved something in the deepest part of my soul, but at that time during the mid to late 50s in the deep south I could neither attend their services nor would they accept me in their community (I tried) but it remains part of my soul and heart to this day. Thank you Southern Gospel Revival for this, I am so very grateful. It reconnected me to that young white boy who couldn't understand why the people in my neighborhood (and other whites I knew, including my own family) couldn't see the goodness of those who could sing such wonderful music as our neighbors were singing from their hearts, and how much they loved God and look beyond the of the color of their skin and know their goodness.

[@lucianwalcott3680]

Wow That really impressed me My mother as a Christian taught me that prejudging someone for the color of their skin was not only wrong but sin Praise GOD brother I hear and feel you! 😳🙂❤️💪

May his soul rest in peace. Sorry for your loss. You will be reunited.

[@lindaleegan5638]

I grew up close to Nashville, Tennessee USA in a rural area . My family attended a little church that played this kind of music every Sunday. It's a natural thing for all us hillbillies (I am college educated, by the way) to celebrate Jesus in our Southern way. I am proud of my Southern heritage.

[@clanrobertson7200]

Linda Leegan, This type of worship and interpreting the Bible for ourselves is why our relatives risked their lives to come to this country and to push past the continuing stranglehold of the British Monarchy Tyranny into the thickest wilderness in the Northern Hemisphere to be Free Men and Women. They fled England France where 2 million Huguenots were killed during the civil wars that led to 200,000 Huguenots being massacred during St Bartholomehew’s weekend that ended a period of peace. Lutherans and Quakers among others joined the Scott’s Irish beginning in BBC the late 1600 going as far west as Abington, Virginia forcing the British to follow with their need to tax. But the Frontiersman declared themselves Independent 4 years before the Declaration of Independence with the Sycamore Shoals Charter near Kingsport, Tennessee. They later saved the Revolution with their Historic trek over Mount Rogers, Virginia 350 miles to defeat the British at the Battle of Kings Mountain. They are now known as The Over Mountain Men and only 25 Patriots were killed in an up hill attack after riding for 48 hours in a tropical storm. The battle was over in 45 minutes with the British office Ferguson being killed along with estimates ranging from 300 to 600 of 1,500 Tori recruits, forcing Cornwallis back to Charleston from Charlotte giving Washington another year to recover from Valley Forge. The victory gave the Continental Congress donations and recruits again, and the next year, The Southern Revolutionary Army along with a contingency of frontier mountain men defeated Cornwallis at the Battle of Cow Pens (the battle at the end of the movie The Patriot) which forced Cornwallis into a harassed retreat to the peninsula of Yorktown, Virginia where Washington reluctantly agreed to come when the French Armada told him that they would not attack the British fleet in New York. By the time he and the French fleet arrived to bombard Cornwallis from the bay, Nathaniel Green’s Men were near digging trenches close enough to use their mortars which would have finished Cornwallis alone. All of this is due to Hillbillies as you call us, and we get little or no credit for our contributions to this country, but Theadore Roosevelt called the Southern Appalachian Mountains The Birth Place of Liberty (something along those lines). So don’t under sell yourself, your “Hillbilly” history and the importance of our religion to this Republic. It needs us again! The old professor Live free or die! Death to all tyrants! If you can not get behind these historic words, you are on the wrong side. No Shit. PS: My family on both sides were among the first 300 settlers in the Southern Appalachian Mountains, Gods gift to free men!
