Lighthouse ~ Rusty Goodman (1974)

[@patriot-troubadour]

I'm 65 years old. Been listening to and singing Gospel Music all my life. I've never heard anyone sing The Lighthouse better than Rusty and his family.

[@patriot-troubadour]

I like to think that Southern Gospel music will be the music that will be playing on the streets of Glory.

[@mimistans7715]

Me too! Used to see them at the Louisville Memorial Auditorium. I was a teenager and would go to watch them with my parents.

[@johnbarrix]

The lighthouse is a wonderful song. I’m glad our Lord is our lighthouse.

I was raised up in a bootleggers home , the only church I seen was the one next to the field we played football in. My cousins invited me to go to church with them when I was about 11 years old. The Sunday school teacher was one of the hateful teachers in my school that looked down on my who family. She embarrassed me by asking me question from the bible, I knew nothing about the bible I never went back to church after that day. But on Sunday mornings I would watch the Gospel Jubilee and listen to the Happy Goodman Family , and the Singing Cookes of whom I went to school with two of the Cooke brothers . I enjoyed Rusty Goodman's voice and still do today .

[@wanjikonjoroge2959]

Thanks to Rust n his whole family for choosing to God with their talent personally l have come close to God through their songs may God bless you

[@doubled1598]

Love the steel guitar! That was the gospel music I loved and grew up on! They sang for the praises to God and not to be just heard! Man, I long to be able to hear that kind of heart string music again! I pray that God gives me the strength to live the life for him! So, I can be with him and hear this beautiful music with all my friends and loved ones! Thank you Jesus!

[@larrycourtney5638]

Rusty had such a great voice and knew how to use it to glorify the LORD. Thank you brother Rusty, thank the Lord we have these videos to hear this great voice even though he's gone to be with the LORD.

[@georgebaileysgal]

Boy, that Rusty could sing....I've heard many many people sing this Ronny Hinson song over the dacades, but it wasn't until I heard Rusty sing this version, that i really appreciated it. What a treasure. Thank you for posting this gem.

[@libbyhuckaby4264]

This Song has been a blessing to me so many times I can't count them- but then I think of all the millions of people who are touched by it still, now that is God's anointing !

[@coachga2]

This song is an awesome classic! Rusty Goodman had a wonderfully powerful voice. Together with Vestal’s uniquely great voice, no wonder this is an all-time gospel favorite.

[@darleneboone7064]

Sam loved his brother you can see it when he brings him out to sing he has a smile and looks at with so love for his brother and the same look they had Johnny cook. Johnny was A number one.

[@victortodd1264]

What wonderful voices, the Lord is my light and my salvation

[@RyanLake185]

this was one of my favorite songs when I was little. my grandpa used to sing it to me. i haven't heard it in a long time though!

[@AFINKSTER]

Rest in Peace Rusty. We'll be looking for you guys when we reach that Golden Shore.

[@managerrobak2814]

What a talent that God gave us in this family. A lifetime bounty of Blessings! Thank you Jesus. Long live the Goodmans !

[@LenHummelChannel]

43 YEARS AGO!!! and no one has ever sang this great song better than this family ! beautifully, perfectly sung. from the heart.

[@yokichalla4997]

Only Kenny Hinson, my late cousin and brother to the author of this song Ronnie Hinson, can sing it better than even the great Rusty Goodman..

[@selkcebr]

@@yokichalla4997 Maybe he’s not aware of the Hinsons, so forgive his ignorant comment.

[@jawanauselton9197]

@@yokichalla4997 in my opinion the Goodman's still did it better.

[@jaydollar3538]

No n could come close to Kenny, even though I’d say Rusty was second to ever sing it.

[@The911sierra]

used to watch them on tv Sunday mornings getting ready for church... this song is a staple of our faith, if not for the LIGHTHOUSE, where would we be?????????????? Thank you, Jesus...

[@davidpatterson1498]

One of the best ever Thank GOD for Rusty

[@brendaburns1725]

I love Rusty Goodman music and wish there was more of it available. Also love Tanya, his daughter and the Goodman Revival music. Thanks for keeping his music alive. God bless.

God knows I miss these people....

[@mimistans7715]

I loved to watch them sing in concert at the Louisville Memorial Auditorium many many years ago.

[@MimicoBungalow]

you know, listening to the song, it occurs to me that Rusty Goodman had a real "country and western" voice, and he could've gone into secular music, and made it big, but he decided to work for the good Lord. What a blessing!

[@sharonblack8169]

Love it!!💞💞

[@judycolson6047]

nobody like those singing Goodmans! ...so glad I grew up listening to them, always will

[@truepeace3]

This song is my testimony and I’m sure it’s that of many others. And no one sings it better than Rusty Goodman. There was always such a sincerity about him that touched me. I just know he’s singing in heaven now.

[@jeanetteoglesby629]

True peace, Have you heard The Hinson Family sing this song? Ronnie Hinson is the author, his brother Kenny (RIP) sang this song so beautifully many times before he died of kidney cancer in July, 1995!!!!

[@truepeace3]

Feeling the Holy Spirit every time watch and hear them sing this song.

[@nanikdasani4547]

There’s A Lighthouse On The Hillside, That Overlooks Life’s See. And When I’m Tossed It Sends Out A Light, That I Might Clearly See. And The Light That Shines In Darkness Now, Will Safely Lead Me Over. If It Wasn’t For The Lighthouse My Ship Would Sail No More. And I Thank God For The Lighthouse. I Owe My Life To Him. For Jesus Is The Lighthouse, And From The Rocks Of Sin. He Has Shown His Light Around Me, That I Might Clearly See. If It Wasn’t For The Lighthouse, Where Would This Ship Be? Everybody That Lives Around Us, Says To Tear That Old Lighthouse Down. The Big Ships Don’t Sail This Way Anymore, Ain’t No Use In It Hanging Round. Then My Mind Goes Back To That Stormy Night, When Just In Time I Saw, The Light From That Old Lighthouse That Stands Up There On The Hill.

[@sharonblack8169]

This could not be any better!!

Maravilha...!

[@ivaleeweather]

No better singers and no better song writer than Rusty and yes he was taken too soon. Wish the Lord would have left him with us longer.

[@virginiamathews1211]

Can someone tell me what caused the deaths of Rusty & Sam. I loved the Goodmans. I have been sitting listening to them today non-stop for the last 6 hours. As a fairly new widow, their music blesses my breaking heart. Though we had over 57 years together it is still a great loss. We were blessed many, many years ago when Vestil & Howard sang at our church. Praising the Lord and looking forward to going home one day.

[@mariezimmerman295]

Great Grandma Ginny Rusty died of cancer ! Sam I believe was his heart !

[@byronogden714]

brain tumor and age in Howard's case I belive

[@byronogden714]

sam I'm not sure

[@edmckimmy6159]

World..I hope you're listening🙏

[@doubled1598]

I’m not positive but I was at that concert I think was at that concert. I think that was in Jackson Ms. at the city auditorium. No big deal but the presents of the Lord was in that building that night. The Oak Ridge boys, Thasher Bros., and the Florida Boys were there also. Although the Hinsons wrote that song Rusty made it what it is. Great voice and also great steel guitar playing in it.

[@sherridugas260]

I don`t want to know where Id be without Jesus, that thought is wayyyy too scary.

Great job. But ill give this one to Kenny Hinson.

[@edwardscherry3004]

This was before Vestal started wearing lots of makeup and painted red lips and nails... she sure made up for it in her later years . She should have kept the wig beehive in her later years... it complimented her ... lots of people went to see the Goodman’s just to see Vestals hair and long gowns. TRUTH!
