Great God Almighty, I cannot express my heart busting watching this again. Bugs Bunny then Jubliee before church!!! To bad today's society doesn't appreciate it.
I grew up listening to this show too. Totally loved it partially cause my granny loved it so much BUT no one understands what Jubilee music is anymore. It is distinct from southern gospel. I call it toe tappin gospel--with a happy piano.
How simple life used to be without all of today's distractions. It was easier to raise children to love the Lord. Listening to Gospel music was a constant pleasure. I miss those days!
You couldn't hardly get me up for school...but on Sunday mornings I'd be in front of the TV with the volume cranked up listening to the Jubilee... these videos sure bring back memories.
Such good memories from my childhood. I'd watch Davey and Goliath and the Godpel Singing Jubilee. Still listen to Good ole Southern Gospel to this day. I,always watched with my grandparents. If these shows are available on DVD please let me know.
Grandpa and I used to watch this while Grandma fixed breakfast for us before Church. Grandpa used to sing the bass part with all of the quartets. Good memories. Thanks for posting. :)
When I was a little boy, I would get up Sunday morning before my parents, turn on the TV, and watch Gospel Singing Jubilee. I haven't seen it since then. And I am so happy you posted it. Thank you.
This brings back such wonderful memories of me when I was a little boy. Daddy always cooked breakfast for me, Mother and himself and we watched/listened to Gospel Jubilee. Bitter sweet memories. Precious memories how they linger.
This is the original Florida Boys that we would go see if they were performing in our area. We would go to their booth and talk with them. I thought they were friends of ours, Dad would always speak often of each one.
I use to hate this show ... I was a kid back then ... No more than 9 or 10 yrs. Old now as a man I sing these same songs with love and humble appreciations... Put it back on the air!
This brings back memories for me as a kid back in the 70s when Daddy always turned on Gospel Jubilee and we listened as we got ready for church on Sunday morning! Best times of my life. Thank you
Every Sunday & was so disappointed when the hour was up. I loved listening to those beautiful voices harmonizing as they praised Our Lord & savior Jesus!!!!
I have been watching & listening to the Florida Boys as long as I can remember. They have always presented great gospel music. I am 79 & I still enjoy good country gospel music & listen to every chance I have. Please reply
Oh thank you for posting this program. Mom, Dad and i would sit and watch this program every sunday. that is were i became the biggest fan of the Goodman.
I go back to the days of the Blue Ridge, Prophets, and others in the 60's. It was so cool to see the people I knew personally on national T.V. As a kid I once got to ride on the Blue Ridge Quartet's bus. My teenage daughter and I were just looking at all the records I have and have decided it's time to set up the turntable and hook it into the stereo system. This brings back so many memories. Thank you.
The Happy Goodman's touch from GOD Himself as HIS gift to them in music, song and voice is so clear and inspiring here in this song.....For all good and perfect gifts come from HIS Hand GOD Himself,,,yours in CHRIST, Downtown Rickey Brown, Jackson, Tennessee
Brings back some good memories. Whereas in most markets it aired on Sunday morning, the "Jubilee" actually aired on Sunday afternoons at 5 on KTVT (Ch 11) in Dallas back in the early '70s.
I loved listening to the Gospel Singing Jubilee , I would rush as fast as I could milking the cows so I could get back to the house to watch the show. If I had too many cows I would miss some of the show and they had to be milked by hand. All this before church and after breakfast.
5 or six years old...watching this on early Sunday mornings on a t.v. I had to "pull the knob" to turn on. I have always remembered that scene when The Florida Boys step up on the stage singing "Jubilee....Jubilee....you're invited to this happy jubilee..." I didn't watch the whole show back then....didn't care to. But...that opening has resonated with me for decades. It gave me...and still gives me...that good feeling of "wholesomeness." So very glad this program was a part of so many lives.
YOU AND ME BOTH. Only, I thought they were singing, "You're invited to this country, jubilee." It may just have been a mondegreen, but I know they would have approved of what I thought they were saying -- a sort of pious prayer for the nation.
I can echo Nalora down below. Some of my fondest memories of my Mom include some of the same. It brings back, really, a flood of good feelings to me when I heard that Theme Song and I really enjoyed the videos. What a seemingly nice, genuine person Mr. Beasley seems to be. He should know how many lives he touched by bringing this music into our homes for all those years. I can't thank him enough.
I am not sure when I was first introduced to this music. But my hubbie has it playing on the computer quite often. My grandparents were Southerners, and I remember listening to music there. I suspect that is where I first heard it.
Thanks for posting this. I was in high school when my brother found this program on our old black and white tv. I had listened to the Blackwoods and Statesmen and loved their music. It was a thrill to actually see JD, London and all the rest singing as a choir! Nearly missed church that day.
Well I remember this show we used to watch it when we got home from grannies. She had fried chicken, cabbage, cornbread, black eyed peas and potatoes. We used to go spit watermelon seeds in the backyard and my grandpa would laugh and slap his knee. He used to sing go tell it on the mountain.
This is one of the early groups when Jerry Trammel had just taken over as tenor replacing Coy Cook. The rest of the group is Les Beasley, lead; Glen Alred, baritone; Billy Todd, bass; and Derrell Stewart on piano.
I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED TO HAVE FOUND THIS!!! I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOR YEARS!!! I remember when I was little back in the early 1970s we used to have this on the TV while we were getting ready for church on Sunday mornings! Such a happy time in my life with Mommy and Daddy and my siblings! Thank you for posting this!!!
I always loved the piano player. He wore crazy patterned socks and liked to hike up his pants to show them while he played. He was a real cut up. Especially at gospel sings.
Loved it and waited for it every Sunday morning.... I listened while getting the children & myself ready for Sunday School or lying on couch or recliner after a surgery; the songs would always help lift me up and help me make it through another trial
I was in my sixties before I understood what Jubilee means. I always wondered what Jubilee means. I didn't want to look or sound dumb by asking anyone what it means. It took listening to Jonathan Cahn for me to know what Jubilee means.
Thank you so much for posting these. I remember sitting in my Sunday Best clothes waiting on the rest of my family to go to Church while the Gospel Singing Jubilee was on the televsions. (and afterwards, Davey and Goliath) Thanks very much.
I grew up listening to this on Sunday mornings while getting ready for church. :) I just wish that they would just show the old shows without commentary. Bill and Gloria can be a little ... dull. I'd rather just watch the whole show just like it came on the air. :) I doubt my opinion matters, but it's just true. LOL
Jim, was the "Jubilee" show filmed at the same location every week? I remember it in the 60's as a teenager. We watched it every Sunday. I believe it came on at 8am in our location.
The Happy Goodman gal Vestal rocked that mile high head of wig . :) I remember this show as a kid in Chicago in the late 60s. Yep, this was on one of our 6 channels in Chicago in the mid to late 60s that had this on on Sundays, LOL.
