Biography

Roberson was born July 17, 1955, in Ripley, Mississippi.

He read the Bible growing up but did not surrender his life to Christ until 1983.

One year later, he was diagnosed with a cancerous growth on his throat.

With no promise that he would be able to talk anymore, Roberson underwent thyroid surgery and was able to sing again within three weeks.

Shortly after, Roberson devoted himself to full-time ministry.

After serving as minister of a Baptist church in his home town for two years, Roberson organized Carroll Roberson Ministries with a board of directors and went into full-time evangelism with his office stationed in his hometown of Ripley.

Through revivals, crusades, and concerts, Roberson keeps a two-year schedule around the country.[1]

Ministry

Music career

Roberson is well known for his singing and has written over 300 songs and recorded over 40 albums.

He has had national success with songs like "Wilt Thou Be Made Whole", which stayed at #1 on the Singing News charts in 1995 for two months, as well as 15 top-ten songs throughout the late 1990s.

Roberson has had over 50 songs in the gospel music charts since 1988.

Roberson has also received numerous nominations and awards for his singing, including the Top Soloist award from Voice Magazine and Hearts Aflame Soloist of the year in 1998.[2]

Television ministry

Roberson has a weekly 30-minute television program called This Is Carroll Roberson, which is seen in millions of homes throughout the world on The Church Channel.

The television program features straightforward Bible preaching and gospel music accompanied by his wife Donna and is filmed in various outdoor venues in the United States.[3]

Holy Land tours

Roberson has been hosting tours to Israel since 1993.

He has also filmed several teaching DVDs in Israel. Visiting the homeland of Jesus has touched Roberson very deeply, and he regularly researches the scriptures from the Hebraic perspective.

Much of his time is devoted to Jewish studies on Jesus as the Messiah.

His trips to Israel have motivated him to focus on the life and ministry of Jesus the Messiah in the gospel accounts.

Carroll believes the missing link in most religious circles is studying the scriptures from their original intent.

His work entitled, Matthew, the Hebrew Gospel, is considered by many to be one of the best commentaries on the book of Matthew. [4]

Jim Reeves~ "Take My Hand Precious Lord"


"Take My Hand, Precious Lord" (aka "Precious Lord, Take My Hand") is a gospel song.

The lyrics were written by Rev. Thomas A. Dorsey (1899–1993), and the melody by George Nelson Allen (1812–1877).

Origin

 The melody is credited to Dorsey, drawn from an 1844 hymn entitled "Maitland" by American composer George N. Allen (1812–1877).[1]

Dorsey said that he used it as inspiration.[2] The "Maitland" music was for the text "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone," and first appeared in The Oberlin Social and Sabbath School Hymn Book.[3] 

Dorsey wrote "Precious Lord" in response to his inconsolable bereavement at the death of his wife, Nettie Harper, in childbirth, and his infant son in August 1932.[4]

(Mr. Dorsey can be seen telling this story in the 1981 gospel music documentary Say Amen, Somebody.)

The earliest known recording was made on February 16, 1937, by the Heavenly Gospel Singers (Bluebird B6846).[5] "Take My Hand, Precious Lord" is published in more than 40 languages.[6]



"Precious Lord, Take My Hand"
Single by Mahalia Jackson
from the album 'Bless This House'
Released 1956
Recorded Tuesday, March 27, 1956
Genre Gospel
Label Columbia
Writer(s) Thomas A. Dorsey

 

Notable performances

It was Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s favorite song, and he often invited gospel singer Mahalia Jackson to sing it at civil rights rallies to inspire the crowds; at his request she sang it at his funeral in April 1968.

King's last words were, just before being shot, to play it at a mass he was attending the night of his assassination.

 Opera singer Leontyne Price sang it at the state funeral of President Lyndon Baines Johnson in January 1973,[7] and Aretha Franklin sang it at Mahalia Jackson's funeral in 1972.

Aretha Franklin also recorded a live version of the song for her album Amazing Grace (1972) as a medley with "You've Got a Friend".

It was sung by Nina Simone at the Westbury Music Fair on April 7, 1968, three days after the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King.

That evening was dedicated to him and recorded on the album 'Nuff Said!

We Thank Thee (1962)

Gentleman Jim Reeves sings a classic country gospel song. Written by Thomas A. Dorsey.

LYRICS:

When my way groweth drear precious Lord linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry hear my call hold my hand last I fall
Take my hand precious Lord lead me home

Precious Lord take my hand lead me on let me stand
I am tired I am weak I am worn
Through the storm through the night lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord lead me home

[ organ ]

When my work is all done and my race here is run
Let me see by the light Thou has shone
That there city's so bright where the land is the light
Take my hand precious Lord lead me home

Precious Lord take my hand lead me on let me stand
I am tired I am weak I am worn
Through the storm through the night lead me on to the light
Take my hand precious Lord lead me home


James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August 20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an American country and popular music singer-songwriter. 

With records charting from the 1950s to the 1980s, he became well known as a practitioner of the Nashville sound (a mixture of older country-style music with elements of popular music).

 Known as "Gentleman Jim", his songs continued to chart for years after his death. 

Reeves died at age 40 in the crash of a private airplane. 

He is a member of both the Country Music and Texas Country Music Halls of Fame.


 Biography

Early life and education

Reeves was born in Galloway, Texas, a small rural community near Carthage.

Winning an athletic scholarship to the University of Texas, he enrolled to study speech and drama, but quit after only six weeks to work in the shipyards in Houston.

Soon he resumed baseball, playing in the semi-professional leagues before contracting with the St. Louis Cardinals "farm" team during 1944 as a right-handed pitcher.

He played for the minor leagues for three years before severing his sciatic nerve while pitching, which ended his athletic career


Early career

Reeves began to work as a radio announcer, and sang live between songs.

During the late 1940s, he was contracted with a couple of small Texas-based recording companies, but without success.

Influenced by such Western swing-music artists as Jimmie Rodgers and Moon Mullican, as well as popular singers Bing Crosby, Eddy Arnold and Frank Sinatra, it was not long before he was a member of Moon Mullican's band, and made some early Mullican-style recordings like "Each Beat of my Heart" and "My Heart's Like a Welcome Mat" from the late 1940s to the early 1950s.

He eventually obtained a job as an announcer for KWKH-AM in Shreveport, Louisiana, home of the popular radio program Louisiana Hayride.

According to former Hayride master of ceremonies Frank Page, one day singer Sleepy LaBeef was late for a performance for the Hayride, and Reeves was asked to substitute.

(Other accounts—-including Reeves himself, in an interview on the RCA album Yours Sincerely—-name Hank Williams as the absentee.)


Early 1960s and international fame

Reeves scored his greatest success with the Joe Allison composition "He'll Have to Go", a great success on both the popular and country music charts, which earned him a platinum record.

Released during late 1959, it scored number one on Billboard magazine's Hot Country Songs chart on February 8, 1960, which it scored for 14 weeks consecutive.

 Country music historian Bill Malone noted that while it was in many ways a conventional country song, its arrangement and the vocal chorus "put this recording in the country pop vein".

In addition, Malone lauded Reeves' vocal styling—lowered to "its natural resonant level" to project the "caressing style that became famous"—as why "many people refer to him as the singer with the velvet touch."[2]

In 1963, he released his well proclaimed "Twelve Songs of Christmas" album, which had the well known songs "Chirstmas" and "An Old Christmas Card".

During 1975, RCA producer Chet Atkins told an interviewer, "Jim wanted to be a tenor but I wanted him to be a baritone...

After he changed his voice to that smooth deeper sound, he was immensely popular."[3]

Reeves' international popularity during the 1960s, however, at times surpassed his popularity in the United States, helping to give country music a worldwide market for the first time.
