Country's Family Reunion - Gospel - Episode 4

Thank you Larry Black for having the foresight to capture these superstars of yesteryear on tape. It is now possible for older generations to go back and revisit these singers once again, and to expose these awesome people to newer generations who can also see just how precious these people were and to enjoy their talents, otherwise many people might not have ever had an opportunity to have seen or heard them. The sad thing is that through the years we lose so many of these superstars of yesteryear. To give you an idea of how many, here is a list of the folks in this video who are no longer with us. Jim Ed Brown- 1 April 1934-11 June 2015 Bill Carlisle- 19 December 1908-17 March 2003 Martha Carson- 19 March 1921-16 December 2004 Skeeter Davis- 30 December 1931-19 September 2004 Jack Greene- 7 January 1930-14 March 2013 George Hamilton IV- 19 July 1937-17 September 2014 Freddie Hart- 21 December 1926-27 October 2018 Jan Howard- 13 March 1929-28 March 2020 Stonewall Jackson- 6 November 1932-4 December 2021 Hank Locklin- 15 February 1918-8 March 2009 Bobby Lord- 6 January 1934-16 February 2008 Charlie Louvin- 7 July 1927-26 January 2011 Jimmy C.

Just in this video alone we have lost a WHOPPING TWENTY ONE superstars from yesteryear, so again THANK YOU VERY MUCH Larry Black for doing these videos. Also one of the most awesome guitar players ever, Jimmy Capps passed away, his dates were 25 May 1939-2 June 2020. I found that interesting because my dad was also born in 1939 and died in 2020.

Praise God! Well, I cried through the whole thing, I believe, but what an uplift to hear people bare their souls and tell how they're now in the Gloryland Way!!! So am I, for many, many years. For you who may be just reaching out, I could honestly write a book about the answered prayer in my life, and so could all of my brothers and sisters in this reunion.

I have spent several days and nights listening to the original artist of Country Music. Speaking of King and Queen of country ; there will never be only one all of the original artist are true Queens and Kings of Country. May our Lord continue be with each one of you and Bless and keep you. thank you for allowing me to enjoy these days of true country❤😊

These folk have got that special country something. Especially that comeraderie and love respect for each other. Very very precious. 🙏🎶💖🎸💕

I love Country Gospel music. I know a lot of these songs . We grew up singing these songs.

It’s so wonderful that all these artists are saved by Jesus! Most of them are in heaven singing in glory but their testimonies live on for others to hear an see.

This is why these country singers were the best of the best in the country music field. They never forgot there there church backgrounds and Gospel roots.

The man who was delivered from alcohol has the very (best) testimony of them all! He seems to love Jesus. More than just singing a song about Jesus.❤

Praise God ❤ awesome love it I enjoy watching these old shows yes I am still listening to these old gospel songs till this day in 2023 the word of God will live on forever amen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Love country gospel. Most of these singers have gone home. So thankful i saw most of them in person, going back to Ryman for some.

I was brought up with southern gospel and hynms song. ny dad was a preacher and sang and played the guitar and sang, God gave me the gift of playing the piano was married in the Ryman 1981 Bro Roy Acuff 33 degree mason served as best man. I will soon be 81 and I think God for all the memories in the music field. God is good, Martha Butterfield Glawson.

Man this video took me back to my childhood days and the churches my dad pastored which formed my own faith in Jesus Christ. I wish I’d followed more closely, but I’ve never strayed far enough to not know God was there through it all.

Love George Hamilton telling this background of this beautiful hymn. Miss this wonderful man. ❤

I am 85 years old and was raised in these old songs how precious to hear

So beautiful to hear these wonderful folks sing these songs. Thank you for sharing 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Whether it's all gospel old country it will always be the best

Precious Memories was one of my mom’s favorites. She’s been gone now for over five years and I really miss her. She’s singing to Jesus I’m sure.

What a Blessing these videos have been. I grew up listening to these country music singers, and it's such a comfort to know that they have trusted Jesus as their Savior.
