How Did The Rambos Get Started
When I was just a young man graduating high school, I met Dottie Luttrell. She was
a young gospel singer, about 15 years old, who came through our part of the country.
About a year later, we had our first date; about 8 months after that, we were married
in 1950. So, Dottie was already a gospel singer, and I just sort of chimed in with her.
It was in the little town of Dawson Springs, Kentucky. We eventually pulled an old
house trailer down from Kentucky to Nashville, Tennessee. As we left, my poor old
Mom stood in the front yard crying,saying, "You'll get down to Nashville, and you'll
go hungry and I don't know who'll take care of you down there.". It was a real
adventure of faith for us to go, because Nashville was a hundred miles from my home,
and back then, a hundred miles seemed like forever. In 1964, we signed a record contract
with the Benson Company. We were a little group called the Gospel Echoes. We changed
our name to The Singing Rambos when our daughter Reba joined the group. She was 13
years old when she cut her first album with us. In the recording studio, I realized we had
really found something that would be of great benefit to the gospel music world because
Reba had such an outstanding voice even as a 13 year old girl.
