Tribute to Dottie Rambo
Posted on May 12th, 2008 in Music by Fred McKinnon
Hey Everyone,
For those who haven’t heard, I must pay tribute to a wonderful gospel songwriter and singer, Dottie Rambo. As a professional musician, writer, and arranger, I’ve seen Dottie’s name on more manuscripts than I could count. I suppose of all her songs, “Behold the Lamb” may be one of the most well-known to me. Other giant songs that Dottie penned include “Holy Spirit, Thou Art Welcome”, “He Looked Beyond My Fault”, and “I Go To The Rock”.
She was killed tragically as her tour bus crashed into an embankment in Missouri.
Dottie was certainly a legend in Christian music, and her songs have been recorded by many greats, including Dolly Parton.
Pray for the other people on her bus, most of whom were injured and are in the hospital.

I realize that with the mixed demographic of this blog, many of my readers won’t even know who Dottie was, but do you recognize her songs?

Absolutely a ‘great’ in Christian Music. I got the news last night. On her way to a gig. She touched alot of folks for alot of years.
A dear friend of mine texted me yesterday about 6 or so I guess, I could hardly believe it. Her songs will carry her message on!
Had not heard the news, but knew of her and her songs very well. She definitely made an impact with her songs and life. What a tragedy!
I am not familiar with her music, but it’s hard when a fellow worship leader passes on. However, she is with Jesus now, which is comforting.
She was a legend in Christian Music. I grew up with here wonderful talented songs, A loss for us on earth, but a gift to heaven!!
I had not heard this. Yes, I know her (37 yo here)! Behold the Lamb was used almost weekly at the church I attended when young. Sad loss, great lady. Another beautiful voice in heaven.
Hey Vanessa,
welcome to the 37 yo club!
