Lulu Roman (born Bertha Louise Hable on May 6, 1946, in Dallas, Texas) is a comedian and singer. She is probably best known as a regular on the comedy-music television series Hee Haw.

Roman was born with a thyroid dysfunction in a home for unwed mothers and quickly placed in an orphanage. It was there that her weight problem furthered her pain, preventing her adoption and making her the center of teasing by the other children. She felt that it was during this time that she learned to use her sense of humor as a defense. She attended W.W. Samuell High School in Dallas, graduating in 1964.^[1]

During her stint on Hee Haw, she went through a bout of drug addiction which led to two arrests and caused her to be booted from the show in 1971. About this time, the unmarried Roman discovered that she was pregnant.

During this time, Roman's search for happiness and acceptance, which had almost led her to her personal destruction, instead, led to her Christian conversion. Following her second incarceration, she reconnected with a friend from the orphanage who invited her to the Beverly Hills Baptist Church in Oak Cliff, Texas, where she found help from the church's pastor.^[1] Positive changes in her life eventually resulted in a full pardon from the Governor of Texas and reinstatement on Hee Haw, where she would stay until the show ended production in the mid 1990s.

She also has a career as a singer of Southern Gospel music, and has recorded several albums, although she never trained as a singer.^[1] In 1999 Lulu Roman was inducted into the Country Gospel Music Hall of Fame with fellow artists Andy Griffith, Barbara Mandrell, David L. Cook, Gary S. Paxton, Loretta Lynn, Jimmy Snow and Jody Miller.^[2]

Thanks to lap band surgery Roman lost over 200 pounds since her Hee Haw days. She continues to perform music and stand-up comedy and also enjoys working with Compassion International, a child-developement organization.^[3] Her latest project "Seven Times" hit the number two spot on Cash Box in 2010. In April 2010, she signed with BGA Entertainment. A new album of musical standards titled At Last is expected to be released in Spring 2012.^[4]

Dottie Rambo (March 2, 1934 – May 11, 2008) was an American gospel singer and songwriter. She was a Grammy and multiple Dove Award-winning artist. Rambo, along with husband Buck and daughter Reba, formed the award-winning southern Gospel group, The Rambos. She penned more than twenty-five hundred songs, including her most notable "He Looked Beyond My Fault and Saw My Need," "We Shall Behold Him," and "I Go To the Rock".

In 2000, Rambo was awarded the ASCAP Lifetime Achievement Award. Her music is known for its poetic lyrics and cross genre reaching melodies often dealing with themes such as heaven, Christian sacrifice, hurts, and the born-again Christian experience.^[1]

Early life[link]

She was born Joyce Reba Luttrell in Madisonville, Kentucky in 1934 to Jerald Vernon “Chick” and Elizabeth Luttrell. According to personal accounts, she grew up in poverty and developed an early affinity for country music. She learned to play guitar while listening at night to the Grand Ole Opry on WSM radio in Nashville. At eight years of age, she started writing songs while sitting on a creek bank near her Morganfield, Kentucky home.^[2] She had the support of her mother and father, and by age ten she was singing and playing country music cover tunes on a local radio program.

At twelve years old, she became a born-again Christian and made a commitment to write and sing Christian music. The decision turned out to be pivotal in more than one way; it did not sit well with her father who gave her an ultimatum – give up Christian music or leave. She left home and went on the road, with her first engagement being at a church in Indianapolis, Indiana. She formed a trio called “The Gospel Echoes” and traveled throughout the midwestern and southern United States.^[3] "The Gospel Echoes" would consist of several members over the years including "Pat Green" and "Little Joe Hatfield".

In 1950, at age sixteen, she met Buck Rambo at a revival meeting she was holding with evangelist Jimmie Russell. They married shortly thereafter and began traveling and singing together after years of her traveling alone and living with pastors' families.

Music career[link]

Finally they created a group "The Gospel Echoes" and later with their daughter, Reba as "The Singing Rambos" and "The Rambos". Through an introduction by another gospel group, the Happy Goodman Family, Rambo sang for the then-governor of Louisiana, Jimmie Davis, who was also a popular country and gospel music recording artist. Davis signed her to a writing contract with his publishing company, Jimmie Davis Music (BMI).

She received a signing bonus of around $3,000, the most she had ever earned to that time.^[4] Though Jimmie Davis appears as a co-writer on Rambo's compositions during this time period she publicly stated he did not write any music or lyrics to her compositions but required a writer's share upon the publishing agreement. Jimmie Davis Music is now owned by Peer Music.

Throughout the 1960s her star began to rise mostly as a songwriter but also as a soloist and as the leader of “The Singing Rambos” she traveled internationally, including a 1967 trip to Vietnam to perform for American troops.^[5] While in Vietnam Rambo ministered in field hospitals The Kittyhawk, and Ticonderoga. While in Vietnam the group was billed as the "Swinging Rambos" as the Government feared that a Christian singing group's safety could be at risk. US soldiers presented Dottie with a Viet Cong flag and other personal mementos from the war.

Her songwriting break and Davis’ company’s promotion of Dottie’s songs resulted in a Warner Bros. Records recording contract for her and The Gospel Echoes. After earning as little as $50 a week for years, often working day jobs to make ends meet, Rambo’s fortunes began to improve. Their records were selling and her songs were being noticed within the industry, with other gospel groups beginning to record them.^[6] In 1968 she won a Grammy Award for Best Soul Gospel Performance for her album It’s The Soul Of Me.^[7] Poor record sales for the Gospel Echoes caused the Warner Bros. label to release the group.. Warner Bros. saw something special in Dottie as a solo artist and asked her to sign on with a recording contract for R&B music. Dottie signed instead with the Benson Records.

Rambo worked with Billy Graham, Oral Roberts, Benny Hinn, Kathryn Kuhlman, John Hagee, Jim Bakker, Tammy Faye Bakker-Messner, Paul and Jan Crouch, Paula White, Reinhard Bonnke, Pat Robertson, T.D. Jakes and others.

Her Down By The Creekbank is one of the most successful Christian children's records in history, earning platinum record status.^[2] In addition to her solo and trio recordings, Rambo appeared on other artist's recordings including Jimmie Davis, Barbara Mandrell, Dickie Betts, The Dunaways, David Robertson, and Walt Mills.

Discography[link]

Composer[link]

Rambo reportedly composed upwards of 2,500 songs.^[8] ASCAP and BMI show only several hundred registered titles attributed to Rambo in its online database.^[9] Rambo's best-known songs include "We Shall Behold Him", "Holy Spirit Thou Art Welcome (In This Place)", "I Go To The Rock", “Sheltered In The Arms Of God”, “I Will Glory In The Cross”, “He Looked Beyond My Fault”, “Tears Will Never Stain The Streets Of That City”, “For What Earthly Reason”, “If That Isn’t Love”, "To Much To Gain To Lose" and many more. She also wrote country music songs recorded by Jimmie Davis, Charlie Louvin, Rhonda Vincent, and Hank Snow, among others.

Rambo's songs have been recorded by a virtual "who's who" in the music world with her biggest songwriting cut being Whitney Houston's version of "I Go To The Rock" that appeared on the motion picture soundtrack for The Preacher's Wife. The recording garnered Rambo and Houston the 1998 GMA Dove Award for Traditional Gospel Song of the Year.

In addition, other secular artists have recorded Dottie Rambo compositions including Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Wanda Jackson, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Dottie West, Barbara Mandrell, Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Bill Monroe, Rhonda Vincent, Hank Snow, Carol Channing, Mel Tillis, Porter Wagoner, Crystal Gayle, Larry Gatlin, Connie Smith, Jeannie C. Riley, The Oak Ridge Boys, Barbara Fairchild.

Numerous Christian/Gospel artists have recorded her songs, such as: Aaron Jeoffrey, Vanessa Bell Armstrong, The Barrett Sisters, The Blackwood Brothers, The Booth Brothers, Commissioned, The Crabb Family, Andrae Crouch, Danniebelle Hall, Jimmie Davis, DC Talk, Jeff and Sheri Easter, The Florida Boys, The Happy Goodmans, Steve Green, Nancy Harmon, Larnelle Harris, The Hemphills, Jake Hess, The Hoppers, The Isaacs, Bobby Jones, Ron Kenoly, Doyle Lawson, Mark Lowry, Walt Mills, Janet Paschal, Sandi Patty, Karen Peck, The Speer Family, Albertina Walker, Karen Wheaton.

Television appearances[link]

Throughout her career, beginning with the 1960s "Gospel Singing Jubilee", Rambo appeared on numerous television programs on virtually every Christian network as well as the TNN, PAX, and GMT Women's Entertainment channels. She had her own series, "Dottie Rambo Magazine" in the 1980s on TBN which was the No. 1 rated program on the network for six years and has rerun on and off since.^[5]

Dottie Rambo has performed on six of the Gaither Homecoming video series (see her discography). Her last appearance was Nashville Homecoming (2009), in which she performed "I Just Came To Talk With You Lord."

Dottie Rambo has been the subject of many biographic television specials: TBN's Portrait Of Grace, INSP's Inspirational Groundbreakers, BBC's White Gospel, GMC's Faith and Fame (her last interview aired on television).

Later years[link]

In 1987, Rambo suffered a ruptured disk which led to paralysis in her left leg. She underwent a series of surgeries that eventually reinstated limited mobility. In 1992, Dottie and Buck separated; then divorced in 1994.^{[citation needed]}

Although partially disabled, Rambo made major television appearances including the 700 Club, and as a regular guest performer on TBN. In 1994, TBN produced a Tribute Concert special that featured two hours of performances by Ricky Skaggs, Ricky Van Shelton, Vickie Winans, Jeannie C. Riley, Lulu Roman, and many others. In the late 1990s, Dottie again performed in concerts, evangelistic meetings and churches across the United States.^{[citation needed]}

In 2002 Rambo reentered the studio to record her first solo album in eighteen years. The result was the award-winning hit ‘’Stand By The River’’.^[2] The title track a duet with Dolly Parton would go to the number one spot of the Christian Country Radio Chart as did it's follow up, "I'm Gonna Leave Here Shoutin". In 2004 a major live concert DVD/cd project "We Shall Behold Him: A Tribute to Dottie Rambo" was released. The concert was hosted by Barbara Mandrell and included performances by Dolly Parton, Crystal Gayle, Larry Gatlin, The Isaacs, Jessy Dixon, Vestal Goodman, The Speers, The Crabb Family, Albertina Walker and others.^{[citation needed]}

In 2007, she performed nationwide and appeared in concert at country singer Dolly Parton’s Tennessee theme park, Dollywood.

In November 2007, Rambo completed another studio album with the working title of "Sheltered". This album was released posthumously in September 2009 on Daywind Records. The project features 12 tracks including duets with Porter Wagoner, Mel Tillis, The Whites and Lulu Roman. Upon completing this project, Rambo started another project that was to feature new compositions and music for a 2009 release. A tribute CD due to be released in 2011^{[dated info]} will feature artists from various genres of music is also being produced by her longtime manager, Larry Ferguson and former assistant Chris Barnes. In 2007, the Annalee Dolls company released a limited edition collector's "Dottie Rambo Anniversary Doll".^{[citation needed]}
