Here's some more info.......
MOUNT VERNON, Mo. — Gospel singer-songwriter Joyce "Dottie" Rambo died early Sunday when the bus she was in ran off a road in southwest Missouri and struck an embankment.
Rambo, 74, of Nashville, Tenn., died in the crash about two miles east of Mount Vernon on Interstate 44, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said. Seven other people in the bus were injured, and were hospitalized in Springfield with moderate to severe injuries, the patrol said.
It was unclear if the accident, which occurred about 2 a.m., was weather-related, the patrol said. Severe storms and tornadoes hit the region about 6 p.m. Saturday, killing 14 people. Sustained winds and storms swept through the area later in the night, according to the National Weather Service.
"She was a giant in the gospel music industry," said Beckie Simmons, Rambo's agent. "Dolly Parton recorded some of her songs."
She was on her way to a Mother's Day performance in Texas, according to her Web site.
Rambo was inducted to the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame in 2006 and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2007.
Rambo has had more than 2,500 published songs, including gospel classics such as "He Looked Beyond My Fault and Saw My Need" and the 1982 Gospel Music Association Song of the Year, "We Shall Behold Him."

Very sad news indeed. Mount Vernon is 18 miles north-northwest of where I am currently living in Republic and we had wind like crazy that kept me up all night.
One of my friends in the choir this morning at church, before we got ready to sing, told us all that a gospel singer had died when her bus was blown over. Had no idea it was Dottie. This is sad.

The Singing Rambos... classic southern gospel, unparalled in sound and performance, all riding on the wings of Dottie's songs. Absolutely unique. That can only be said about, oh, maybe 2% of gospel groups.
How tragic. Her songs never fail to touch me deep inside. I believe she was a channel that God used to give us music to heal and touch hearts. We have lost something great, but we have her 2500 songs as a legacy.
Our gospel group did "I've Never Been this Homesick Before" Saturday night at a concert. She is finally seeing and experiencing all the things she has written about. What an awesome thought.
