Happy Goodmans Audience requests Final Stand 2001

[@nathanaellee8356]

I’m so glad my late father introduced me to these old Southern Gospel singers and groups as a youngster. I was privileged to be able to meet them in person and hear them sing live. I met Mrs Vestal Goodman in person in mid 2003 just a few months before she went to Heaven.

[@patrickkinzel3852]

My mother and step dad introduced me to these people and gaithers I am so thankful lifts my heart!!! My mom died and went to heaven 1 yr and 1/2 ago I miss her so much!!!

[@mercywambui3400]

Vestal and Howard . A couple that lived for the Lord and finished well. Till we meet again .Your memory lives on. You inspired us alot.

[@happyolddude]

what about John? He is marvellous.

[@MercyKangethe-fz7zo]

I never met them. I love their songs. They have blessed me with their singing even beyond the grave, for their songs have outlived them. I will meet them in heaven one day. Am sure of this. From Kenya with love 🇰🇪 ❤

[@_boringk6778]

I'm not religous by strict definition, but I can see how this uplifts those who are, and I am glad they are free to do so. This is beautiful, it's pure love, no matter who you are.

Maybe God is speaking to you through this ?

[@VeraDobis]

Please Lord, speak to this person! He's heard the Lord and rejected Him! All you need to do is accept that He died for you and you get eternal life! Please do that! Jesus loves you man! He came to be your sacrifice! I will do most happy if you could just Believe!

[@twodollarboy06]

She always had a wonderful voice I think she was and still is one of my favorite gospel singers

[@VeraDobis]

[@dustinheath1034]

She has such a beautiful voice, I always love when she sings lead melody but YALL LISTEN it just melts my soul and gives me chills when she breaks into an alto harmony

[@VeraDobis]

She helped weave my life! My mom put up with so much pain due to my father. All 6 of us were saved and before his death, so was my father!

[@michaelbrown5044]

I'm so thankful as a young person and living in Memphis, I had opportunities to go hear the Goodmans and many other great Southern gospel groups sing at Ellis Auditorium during the National Quartet Conventions. The Goodmans were especially anointed.

[@randybock82]

Wow! What a time.

[@chipfortune330]

I met the Happy Goodmans twice, had Rusty and them all sign my albums back in the late 70's, they were so nice, I have a few more stories I,ll keep for another time. My mom listened to The Gospel Jubilee, that's how I started into southern gospel music, I'm still happy after 59 yes.........

[@randybock82]

Great story. They were some group.

[@aaronwilliamsmusicofficial1027]

Hey Chip, how do I get my foot in the door to singing on the road!! Just looking for advice!!

[@VeraDobis]

Saw them once as I lived in Michigan and they're southern but my mother got me onto them when I was 16 years old! They were the best!

[@aloevera2268]

Beautiful looks, wonderful voice for her age...I love them both

[@VeraDobis]

No better gospel group of their time! Been a fan since I was a young teenager! I'm 76 yo..do the math!

[@toneehardy]

Goosebumps. So beautiful.

[@lenorataylor8663]

I am always blessed when I hear the Goodman's sing. I re called the very first time hearing Vestal sing God walks the dark hill, I was going through a very difficult time, my husband was incasisrated. I felt so as though lonely, depressed and forsaken. when I heard this song, it ministered to me. Ever since then, I've been ministering this song. Vestal Goodman really touched my life through her singing She was one of my mentors in the body of Christ. I know that one day we will all meet and sing around God's throne. y

[@josephhall2713]

Are Howard and vestel goodman alive

[@VeraDobis]

No! They went to sing in our Lords choir!!! Singing with my mother, sister and now a brother!

[@lyllithjohnson7660]

I enjoy them so much.They are so up lifting.

[@acts10truth]

I was 18 when I was filled with the precious Holy Ghost. A young mother of a three month old at home alone while my new husband worked, I found the radio. I knew nothing of gospel music. while strolling through stations looking for something that would come in clear, I heard " the lighthouse "well to my knees I went and the tongues flowed so easily. the praises so sweet. I fell in love with southern gospel and with the happy Goodmans

[@jmcc-lt3lk]

Beth Lowe wow. I wonder what languages did you speak?

[@beckyconrad4973]

Xxxy

[@guyinacoffeeshop2239]

No such things as tongues. It's made up stuff to fool the masses. You weren't speaking in tongues, you were having a mental breakdown. Lol

[@lisadavis3214]

The Lighthouse has THE most beautiful melodies, each instrument speaking its own praise, the lyrics sung so eloquently that they leave their hearts, travel to their vocals, out thru their mouths, then they fly to the soul on the wings of angels.

[@grannypat412]

Beautiful ❣️

[@laziebeatrice941]

I'm South African. Never known this couple but enjoy gospel in my cellfone When I came across Vestal I got a shock to hear such talent. Wish I had known her. Rest in peace. We shall meet soon

[@VeraDobis]

Good ear!!! She's a legend over here!

[@Mollylynn99]

This was my very favorite gospel group growing up. On the Happy Jubilee every Sunday morning as we got ready for church.

[@dooranderson938]

I listened to them as a kid love their singing her husband can play the piano really well.

[@VeraDobis]

This woman changed my life when I was 16 yo! I'm now 76 yo! My mother was a fan! I was saved ar 13 yo but Vestal became my way of life!
