As pianoman had mentioned Larry Dalton played Dottie Rambo songs on the Grand Piano before the funeral started. It was a full house at Christ Church and I was lucky to get a seat in the balcony as I arrived just before the funeral started.

Notables at the funeral or involved in it that I did see were;

Barbara Mandrell
Andre Crouch
The Crabb Family
2 of The Oak Ridge Boys
Russ Taff
Bill & Gloria Gaither
Dino
Sandi Patti
The Choir of The Artists (200 member choir of Gospel Music artists)

ORDER OF SERVICE:

Holy Spirit Thou Art Welcome - Landy & Joy Gardner and Ncole Binion

Opening Remarks - Dony McGuire

Time of Prayer (for the hospitalized survivors of the bus crash that killed Dottie, etc) - Rev. Charles Green.

I Will Lift You There - Destiny Rambo McGuire & Dionne Dismuke (Granddaughers)

The Oibtuary - Bishop Jim Swilley

Behold The Lamb

Setting The Stage - Remarks by Barbara Mandrell

The Choir of The Artists - Directed by Bill & Gloria Gaither;

Sheltered In The Arms of God

Remind Me Dear Lord

If That Isn't Love

He Looked Beyond My Faults and Saw My Need

I Go To The Rock - There were black male and female soloists on this. I think the guy was Jesse Dixon and I don't know who the woman was. They tore it up. Three encores.


Mamma's Teaching Angels How To Sing

Words of Honor - Remarks by Pastor L.H. Hardwick Jr.

A Video Tribute - Dottie singing a little and being interviewed.

We've Weathered Storms Before

A Special Word About Mothers - poem / story read by Michael Langston

Stand By The River - Christian Ferguson (little bitty boy singing)

Special Messages - Carlton Pearson reading a few greetings to the family. One by Lily Tomlin, One by T.D. Jakes, and then President Bush and Laura's condolences to Reba and Dony. The President sent Reba the US flag that was hanging over the White House on Mothers Day, the day Dottie died.

The Choir of The Artists;

I Will Glory In The Cross

I've Never Been This Homesick Before

I Call Him Lord

Lamb of Glory

Too Much To Gain To Lose

There Has To Be A Song - Remarks by Gloria Gaither

The Holy Hills of Heaven

The Final Word - Remarks by Bishop David Huskins

We Shall Behold Him - Sandi Patti
CC, I am thinking that as it was a Gaither type choir, it probably was indeed JD, and the female soloist may have been: if younger than JD, Linda Randle...older, maybe Lillie Knauls...just guessing.

Wish I could have been there...

You will never win anyone to any positon with your attitude.

I find your comments offensive....

I think you should be banned immediately.

I am one who has never been offended at anytime in the past 2 years being on this forum and the one before.

I think you are probably right. I couldn't really see the woman well enough to gauge her age.

I had not seen Jesse Dixon for many years (he featured the World of Pentecost Choir on an album back in the 8o's) but I am pretty certain it was him.

My day started out crazy and it looked like or awhile I would not be able to go but I did and I am really glad. It brought back so many memories of my childhood and teen years and was also such a blessing to hear those great songs sung by some of the best singers in the world.

Her songs had a depth to the words that you don't see that much today.

Well, Linda Randle is kinda short, or appears that way, and her voice is rather deep (lower in range than Lillie Knauls), and LK always wears a hat...

CC1,
WHO ARE YOU???

I figured that funeral would be jam packed with the who's who in Gospel music, and you got in????

Seriously though, thanks for sharing about the funeral.

LOL!!! I was one of "nobodies" there. I think there was a good representation of those of us who are not musicaly talented ourselves but were blessed by Dottie's music over the years.

I love Lily Tomlin.
