You know we loved Dottie very much. My dad talked a lot about her. They all grew up together atround Nebo Kentucky. She preached around Madisonville in the 60’s. They sang. I loved the song she sang” The good old have passed away, and I couldn’t call them back if tried.

Hello this Shelly Blanchard. I new Dottie way back in the 60″s when they went to Light House Pentecostal church at Madisonville,Kentucky. They first started singing 1962. We had one of their first records. Unfortnately it destroyed in a house fire in 2006. It was cracked and a little scatched but it played. She was an evanglist. She preached around Coiltown, Ky. I bought a few of her records in the 1970’s. We all loved her. I am was born in 1953. It was very sad to hear how she died. She will always be remembered by the Blanchard family

When I am happy, I usually start singing a Dottie Rambo song and I celebrate. When I am sad… I sing a Dottie Rambo song and I am comforted. When I am lonely… “If that isn’t love” will be heard coming from my prayer closet and I know that Jesus is right there with me. The great gift of song writing accomplished its purpose in Dottie’s music and we are ever so much more blessed because of it. From one song writer to another “Thank you.” Dottie will be missed.

I am 42 years old and still in awe of Dottie Rambo. In the 1960s the Rambos traveled to Texico, NM to a United Pentecostal Church. My parents fell in love with her voice. My mother is an alto so Dottie’s songs were in a perfect range. I remember driving the 2 hours to Amarillo, TX to listen to the Rambos. I would always want to go with my mother at intermission to talk to Dottie because at that time, she recognized my mother, Danita Sudderth. She always gave me a great big hug and made me feel like I was remembered from each concert. My sisters sang her songs and recorded a record. I have heard so many talk about Dottie as a great poet…but you know, she wrote these songs under devine inspiration. Just like David in the Bibble who wrote beautiful psalms, Dottie’s words were praise songs in the good times and in the bad. Oh won’t that be a hallelujah meeting when we get to the other side? Another great song. Through her songs, it felt like we knew Dottie so well. Reba, I am sorry that people were so cruel to you in your difficult times in the 1970s. My sister, Sharon took great pride in hitting the high notes like Reba. The lady is a child 8 track is still a favorite. ) It makes me sad that I didn’t take the time to write this down when Dottie could read this. She endured so many trialsl and tribulations for our listening pleasure. God bless the family you left behind. Donna Sudderth (Wallace)

JUST WANTED TO SAY WHAT A GREAT IMPACT DOTTIE RAMBO AND THE SINGING RAMBOS HAD ON 4 LITTLE GIRLS (SISTERS) WHO GREW UP SINGING HER MUSIC AND NOW TRAVEL AS THEIR OWN GOSPEL GROUP. OUR SISTER PATSY IS OFTEN COMPLIMENTED BY FOLKS WHO SAY SHE SOUNDS ALOT LIKE DOTTIE.

WHAT AN ACCOMPLISHMENT TO BE ABLE TO SERVE THE MASTER IN SUCH A WAY THAT YOU UNKNOWINGLY AFFECT SO MANY PEOPLE’S LIFE LIKE DOTTIE RAMBO DID. HER LOVE FOR CHRIST WAS SO EVIDENT IN HER MUSIC AND ALTHOUGH OUR HEARTS ARE BROKEN, WHAT A HAPPY DAY FOR DOTTIE, WHO NOW SITS AT THE FEET OF JESUS.

WE LOVED YOU SO MUCH.

SINCERELY,

DARLENE (MEGHAN), ELAINE, PATSY AND LINDA…

I had the opportunity to be in the presence of Dottie Rambo and Gerald Crabb at a songwriters seminar in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
about five years ago. Just a small group of aspiring writers in the fellowship hall of a little Methodist Church. What a joy that was. At one point, Dottie was reading a passage from one of her books, and was having trouble seeing the print. I was seated arm’s reach to her left, and she asked if she could borrow my reading glasses. I have those glasses today still, and what a treasured keepsake to me. I will miss Dottie here on earth, now that she’s “teaching angels how to sing” GODSPEED DOTTIE RAMBO….and your family and those injured in the crash that took your life.

Barry,
Elvis recorded “If That Isn’t Love”, and it’s on his 2-disc set “He Touched Me”. Should be available through your local Christian bookstore.
