Delois Barrett Campbell (1926-2011)

A post to mark the passing, earlier this week, of gospel singer Delois Barrett Campbell. She performed with here sisters, Rodessa and Billie, for over 50 years as the Barrett Sisters. Roger Ebert has a post with more information about them.

The Barrett Sisters appeared in the film Say Amen, Somebody. I recently posted Roger Ebert's review of that film on my other blog.

"Pass Me Not Gentle Savior" - This video is from some years back.



"The Storm is Passing Over" - No video with this, but I am including it because this is my favorite Barrett Sisters Song.



Delois was confined to a wheel chair for the last years of her life, but, as these next two videos prove, that did not stop her from singing.

"New Home Over In Glory"



"Till We Meet Again"
