Gospel singer Dottie Rambo, 74, died early today when her tour bus ran off a highway and struck an embankment.
She was a frequent guest in the 1980s on shows like the PTL Club. I remember seeing her often.
Six other people were injured in the accident.
Of the many videos of Rambo on YouTube, I like this one where she sings with Vestal Goodman (1929-2003) best, although Rambo sings only at the end of it. It's called "The Holy Hills of Heaven Call Me." It seems appropriate:
Here is another video, which is good, of when she was part of the family group, The Rambos, with her ex-husband Buck, her daughter, and son-in-law. Judging from the hairstyles, this must be from the late 1970s:
Another update: Televangelist Jim Bakker has been having a tribute to Rambo on his show. She appeared on the old PTL Club many times and was almost a regular on the show. That's how I had heard of her.
Yet another update: Here is a recent episode of the Jim Bakker Show where Dottie Rambo appears. This was the April 22, 2008, broadcast.
