Gospel singer Dottie Rambo killed in crash
Joyce "Dottie" Rambo, an influential gospel singer and songwriter, died early Sunday when her tour bus ran off the highway and struck an embankment, according to the Associated Press (AP). She was 74.
Seven other people on the bus were injured in the wreck, which occurred about two miles east of Mount Vernon on Interstate 74, the Missouri Highway Patrol said. It was unclear whether the crash was related to the severe storms and tornadoes that hit the region on Saturday. According to her Web site, Rambo was on her way to a Mother's Day performance in Texas.
"She was a giant in the gospel music industry," Beckie Simmons, Rambo's agent, told the AP. "Dolly Parton recorded some of her songs."
Rambo was a member of the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Her song "We Shall Behold Him" won the Gospel Music Association Song of the Year in 1982.

I loved to her speak...the funny thing is was not until a few months ago I found that she wrote one a song that everybody sings...I found the title..but, I know that it was changed from the way she originally sang it (LOL ) !! Ya'll know the song I am talking about..because whenever someone gets up to do solo..this is song you hear the most..
She will be missed !!
I don't if this is the title of the song...but, one line is I won't complain..

So she wrote I won't complain? or did she write He looked beyond my faults, and saw my need.
Cause you know those are the most popular songs sung by soloists across the nation.

This is very very sad.... she went through so much some years back when she was sick. Her daughter look so much like her and sing like her. I remember the miracle birth of her granddaugther, her daughter ovarie was remove when she was a teenagers... Dottie pray and God open up her daughter's womb, and she gave birth to a girl and later a boy.... Her granddaughter should be almost grown now... She was a woman of Faith
I will keep her family in prayer.
