What songs released 1979 or prior is your favorites and what artist's version is your fave?

for me. I think

The Lighthouse by Hinsons
Redemption Draweth Nigh by London Parris and The Apostles
O Happy Day, Turn Your Radio On, Learning To Lean by Blackwood Brothers
Reverend Everett Beverley and Sister Anna Laura by Kingsmen

just a few of mine from the golden era

I love any of the songs by Dottie Rambo and the Happy Goodman Family.

I think Seaton agrees with me that the songs of old are awesome songs.

I also think that list he listed could be mine as well.

A great song is a great song no matter which era it was recorded. My list could've really been a lot longer. You throw in the '80s, '90s and today yet and I would end up with a book by the time I was listing all my favorite songs...

agreed as well. but is interesting to see just what songs people love from old days. songs of today (((80's till now for me. ))) would really same songs for a lot. actually mine would probly be surprising because of the gap in years when I wasn't a follower of Christ.

I don't think they would allow me to make a complete list. Space wouldn't allow such an answer. I agree that this would be the golden era of Gospel Music as it was called then. We have over a hundred LP's plus a number of cassettes. Among the groups would be the Inspirations, the Weatherford Quartet, The Florida Boys, the Kingsmen, and others. My prize is the 1959 release of "In The Garden" by the Weatherford Quartet. This one has Earl and Lily Weatherford, Glen Payne, Armond Morales, and Henry Slaughter. There has probably never been a better quartet assembled, or so said James Blackwood and Glen Payne. Now if I could just find a copy of "Just As Long As Eternity Rolls," Mark V release.....

I cant make a list that would be short enought to fit on the page, but IMHO the "perfect" Southern Gospel song will always and forever be "Oh, What a Savior" by The Statesmen. That song pretty much encompasses everything our relationship with the Lord is about.

DJS....some of my favs of The Prophets from the golden age are:
WORRY WHO I,
SO HIGH SO LOW,
LOVE LIKE THE SUN,
SWEETER AS THE DAYS GO BY,
WHEN I MEET YOU OVER THERE,
WORKIN' ON A BUILDING
and
WAIT 'TIL YOU SEE ME IN MY BRAND NEW HOME
