Frank Rizzo so sorry to hear about the passing of your grandfather Ben. however you know where he is and I always say you can't loose something when you know where it is and how to find it. Goodnight and may God bear your grief and sorrow as he promised in his holy word during this very trying time for you and the entire Speer family. sincerely. Keith Muncy
Hey Timothy.... Your granddad was Ben Speer? Well, I am supposed to be some sort of kin folk myself through marriage. LOL One of the Speers married a Morrison sister. The Speers sang regular at our community. Home folks.
It is. Dad Speer was a legend in gospel music with his singing schools and song writing Heavens Jubullee is his most famous song. They are originally from Double Springs, in Winston County Alabama. I, as an Alabamaian am very proud to say.
I have listened to this dozens and D O Z E N S of times over the years (always marvelled at the pianist) but today Aug 20, '18, 'Jubilee' struck me and I feel kinda dumb never to have 'felt it' before. The year of JUBILEE was when all of Israel returned to their ancestral properties!! Heavens Jubillee will be when - we - RETURN to out home, our ancestral land, where we belong. (gonna go listen again)
You are most welcome. I love them are much as you do.. I am going to a Red-Back Hymnal singing at the Gardendale First Baptist Church in Gardendale, AL this Sat. April 27, I can't wait. There were over 1300 at last years singing. Ben Speer is expected to be there this year. Come if you can.
You are blessed to be related to this wonderful family. We in Alabama like to brag that they are from Doube Springs ,AL You can also see my Dad on CZcams, He was Edwin of the Milo Twins. Thanks for viewing and thanks for posting.
The last that I heard was that they felt strongly that would be there. That is no in stone. Never the less you would enjoy the singing greatly. I would love to get to meet you there.
I have been wondering, did everyone on the original Speer Family play the piano? I know ate least one of the girlsdid and I have seen Ben play. Did Mom, Dad and Brock also play?
It definitely is Ginger Smith. You hear Brock mention her name in his introduction. Rosa Nell did play for the Speer Family in the early days, but not in this video.

@@gowenrv3762 I totally get you! My cousin's wife is Rosa Nell Speer's granddaughter.
Your great-uncle was a fabolous bass singer too. My regards
WOW! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BLESSING!
Truly lived what they sang. Makes my heart happy to hear them.

Perfect. This is just a happy, joyous delight! If we had one tenth of this today we would be ten times better than we are!
Clapping on 2 and 4! 🎉
I never knew Dad Speer wrote this song. Explains why I love it so much lol
I too loved the Speer Family. Ginger Smith was such a blessing.

Ben was incredibly young in this one. Wow
A wonderful song. He wrote a lot of great ones

"Love This"
Great Alto part.

Pick up your Banner Hymns and turn to Heaven's Jubilee ...
I wonder if that is Rose playing the piano...it's eerie to hear for the following Speers sound so much like them!!! Amazing!
So glad you like it. Me too!! Thanks for viewing and commenting.

I agree totally. I usually do.

Speer. Family. Playlist
Of all the videos that I have uploaded, this one has been viewed more than all the rest.
"Singing in the Holy Ghost..."
I have been wondering, did everyone on the original Speer Family play the piano? I know ate least one of the girlsdid and I have seen Ben play. Did Mom, Dad and Brock also play?
Mom Speer did play piano. Brock played guitar on many records and dad Speer played mandolin and fiddle
@@keithmuncy2165 and once Rosa Nell left, Mary Tom played the piano for a while
Is that Brock's parents he's singing with here?
Fans of Bill Nye yes it is momma Lena and Dad George Thomas or G.T. Speer singing with their sons Ben and Brock. the original Speer family singers.

Brock looks almost identical to my grandfather
Your grandfather must be a handsome man.
He was, back when he was in his early 60s
Who is the pianist for this song?
Ginger Smith
Think its Rosa Speer, she was family and played piano. Now she's part of the Gaither's
It definitely is Ginger Smith. You hear Brock mention her name in his introduction. Rosa Nell did play for the Speer Family in the early days, but not in this video.
Oh ok, had to watch it again to catch it
