Dottie Rambo, who wrote hundreds of Gospel songs that went on to become classics among professional Gospel groups and church choirs, has died from injuries sustained in an accident.

The singer's tour bus was involved in a crash on a highway, killing Rambo and seriously injuring the members of her band. One band member was in critical condition late Tuesday and was on life support.

Rambo made her debut as a performer in the early 60s with her family group called 'The Singing Rambos.' But it was her compositions that made her famous. Her songs received wide air play and publicaton, such as 'The Holy Hills of Heaven Call Me,' 'Sheltered in the Arms of God,' 'He Looked Beyond My Fault and Saw My Need,' 'Remind Me, Dear Lord,' 'We Shall Behold Him,' 'Behold the Lamb,' and many more.

In later years Ms. Rambo appeared with Bill Gaither on his Homecoming videos and tours.

Funeral arrangements for Ms. Rambo are incomplete at this time.

Schedule? What schedule!! LOL.

My days and nights are set by the ebb and flow of news and current events...and making a living.

If it weren't for making a living, the ebb and flow of news and current events would be a lot more fun!
