Rebecca Linda Smith and Dr. Robert Frank Smith Mourn the loss of "The
Queen of Gospel Music", Dottie Rambo.
5-11-2008: MOUNT VERNON, Mo. — Gospel singer-songwriter Joyce
"Dottie" Rambo died early Sunday when the bus she was in ran off a
road in southwest Missouri and struck an embankment.
Rambo, 74, of Nashville, Tenn., died in the crash about two miles east of
Mount Vernon on Interstate 44, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said. Seven
other people in the bus were injured, and were hospitalized in Springfield with
moderate to severe injuries, the patrol said.
It was unclear if the accident, which occurred about 2 a.m., was
weather-related, the patrol said. Severe storms and tornadoes hit the region
about 6 p.m. Saturday, killing 14 people. Sustained winds and storms swept
through the area later in the night, according to the National Weather Service.
"She was a giant in the gospel music industry," said Beckie
Simmons, Rambo's agent. "Dolly Parton recorded some of her songs."
She was on her way to a Mother's Day performance in North Richland Hills,
Texas, according to her Web site.
Rambo was inducted to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and the
Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007.
Rambo has had more than 2,500 published songs, including gospel classics such
as "He Looked Beyond My Fault and Saw My Need" and the 1982 Gospel
Music Association Song of the Year, "We Shall Behold Him."
Dottie and Rebecca Linda recorded two Duet's together "Prisoner of
Love" on the Jesus' Grace CD and "He Knows Just When To Give The
Song" on the Hope CD. Both songs are also on the Classic Timeless CD.
News: on March 22nd, M.A.D.D. sponsored an Awareness/Fundraising
walk/run to help the victims of drunk drivers at Fort Bliss, Texas.
Rebecca Linda Smith and Dave Caley performed and handed out awards on
the 22 of March and on the 21st they met with wounded soldiers who were recovering and
donated AMERICAN HEROES CD's, and some of Dave Caley's, LIVE
THIS LIFE CD. Rebecca Linda and Dave were very honored to be a part of this
great and worth while event.

Rebecca Linda Smith-Renewed from El Paso, Texas received a very nice surprise in the mail recently. It
was a letter from the U.S. Dept. of the Interior Park Service in
reference to her music she sent to the Flight 93 National Memorial. Rebecca
sent an MP3 of her song “We Will Remember,” written by Dr. Robert Frank
Smith, and they responded that they would like to have a hard copy. She then sent them a press kit with the CD of the same song as well as the full CD entitled,
American Heroes. The
letter thanked Rebecca for sending the material and that it had been
placed in the archives for the Flight 93 National Memorial where
researchers, staff and the general public can have access to it. It
then went on to say, “We appreciate your contribution and wish you the
best of luck in the way that you have chosen to honor our American
Heroes.” This is exactly what this CD is all about showing appreciation and honor to our American Heroes.
