Wendy Bagwell - "Ol' Ralph Bennett's Volkswagen" - From the Wendy Bagwell & the Sunliters video "And That's a Fact with My Hand Up!" - 1986

[@judo1088]

My father and I had a 130 mi paper route back in the early '70s. We would start delivering over 500 papers at close to 2:00 Sunday morning listening to the radio we both couldn't wait to hear one of a Wendy bagwell's stories.

[@Oldman808]

I remember hearing him on the radio in the 1960s.

[@bigt2746]

One of the best stories ever told.

[@stephanieleport5163]

I listened to these albums with my grandma when I was a kid. Thank you KZbin ❤️

[@richardbrowning9953]

The funniest man in gospel music.. R.I.P wendy Bagwell 😂

[@ronaldshank7589]

Ol' Ralph Bennett shouldn't have been so stubborn! That car dealer could a showed Ol' Ralph where everything was, as Ralph would've been the better for it. He'd of at least known then, where Reverse was, and where the Heater was. He got schooled by his own wife on that one! This reminds me, though, that if we'd just learn to drop our own selfish, foolish pride, and ask God for his help in our lives, then he'd definitely help us out. All too often, though, we're like Ralph. We think that we just know it all! That's when God just steps aside, and lets us learn our lessons the hard way! This is a great story to draw that comparison from. I love it!

One of the funniest, most charming, well-timed, multi-talented people who ever graced a stage. The real deal. We lost a Lot when we lost him. RIP, Wendy.

Wendy and The Sunlighters played our church home coming when I was a kid. We had lunch and they sat at our table. He was funnier off stage than he was on. The world became a colder place when he left it. I bet he's telling one of these stories in heaven right now.

[@ronaldshank7589]

Unfortunately, from what I hear, it was a Brain Aneurysm that killed him. He'll always be remembered as one of the funniest people ever, though... especially telling this story, and that Ol' Rattlesnake story!

[@elisabethholyday3351]

Dear Lord! I can finally put a face to the name. Many years ago I use to listen to a radio station called WDCX BUFFALO. The host of the Saturday Evening Gospel programme was Doug Riley. Each song he played he always gave the artist name, since then I have managed to put a lot of faces to the names through The Gather Gospel Hour. Now I can add WENDY'S. It has taken me nearly 26 years but now when I play my old cassette tapes of all those years ago I can have the pleasure of a face to the songs I have treasured all these years. Glad to meet you Wendy! r

[@jerryjr3850]

elisabeth holyday I love the gaither gospel singing

[@kathryntaylor2170]

Well he sure could tell clean funny jokes. We sure need some laughs in this day time. Praise the Lord!

[@ronaldshank7589]

An' that's a fact, with our hands up!😁😁😁!

[@RonParish]

How many times I've listened to this can't be determined. I've never seen it before, though. Very happy to see this video.

[@bakogoofball]

Classic story! My grandpa had one of those VWs and I was amazed at how different they were. Wendy could tell a story as well as anyone. Only Mark Lowry is in that class today.

[@matthewhunt2250]

Mark Lowery doesn't even come close

[@Sidetrackification]

You saw him raise his hand in the air! That surely means that this is True!

[@delphiataylor9691]

💛💛💛what a wonderful man I seen him as a teenager and it inspired me in gospel music!!! I have wrote three top 40 gospel songs in the gospel singing news. Thanks Wendy David Taylor

[@BrianRay-mi1dr]

[@stevekirkpatrick145]

Anything that Wendy Bagwell did was funny especially the snake 🐍worshipping church ⛪story 🤣😂

[@DeadKoby]

My Dad had to explain the VW's to me.. . as they were before my time. But once you know how different they were, you can enjoy the story.

[@EliseCrosslin-zr7ne]

😂❤😊

[@emmachamness1748]

There was a lady in my home town that had the same experience with reverse

[@miker8379]

When he told that one, I had to get up off the floor.

Wendell "Wendy" Bagwell died on June 13, 1996 of a brain aneurysm.

[@jasonhood2453]

If it has to be explained, you wouldn't get it anyway. :-)

[@RockinGuy1994]

I'm the same way.

[@deborahmartin1268]

Lol...too funny

[@toonful]

his wife found the heater.

[@ronaldshank7589]

She was smarter than ol' Ralph was! WHEEEEE!!!!

[@shirleymckeithen9960]

Soo funny

[@mavelenedixon6204]

It doesn’t matter what I think, but it does matter what God knows. He is all knowing & each human is going to answer to Him! That includes Joni, her new husband & “Pete” , also those professionals who twisted Bible truths to suit their situation.. God’s truth will always prevail. 🙏

[@felicity4711]

What does “That little old heater will run you out of there, won’t it?” mean?

[@ronaldshank7589]

It means she pushed that little ol' red button, the heat came on, and apparently that heat worked. Too good!!!

[@nickroberts6984]

His wife found reverse AND the heater that they couldn't find...

[@amosrichardson4524]

Rattlesnake story

[@shanyjoe88]

I’ll never understand how my father listened to this guys records over & over laughing every time. Literally nothing about this is remotely funny & it never was.

[@livingintongues]

Seriously?
