PHIL JONES<\/strong>, correspondent: In the 1950s, Bill Gaither used to turn on his radio and listen to all the gospel music stars. He was a farm boy with a field of dreams.<\/p>\n

BILL GAITHER<\/strong>: I kept dreaming of the day that maybe, just maybe, I could write a song that would catch the attention of somebody or sing a song that would catch the attention of somebody. Am I blessed guy? I mean, I\u2019m blessed. What can I say?<\/p>\n

\"\"JONES<\/strong>: In 1963, his dream came true. He wrote a hit. Elvis Presley recorded it and won a Grammy, but the lyrics belonged to Bill Gaither.<\/p>\n

Bill Gaither singing at piano: \u201cHe touched me, oh, he touched me\u201d —\u00a0Jimmy Durante sang this and he\u2019d go \u201cHe touched me” — “and all the joy that floods my soul…\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: Since then, Bill and his wife, Gloria, former English and French teachers, have written more than 700 gospel songs. Many of them are in today\u2019s church hymnals.<\/p>\n

ROBERT SILVERS<\/strong> (Former Religion Editor, Saturday Evening Post): What would the Christian world, the gospel music world, have been like if we hadn\u2019t had Bill and Gloria Gaither? And I just felt like it would leave a lot of empty pages in those song books.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: The Gaithers have won six Grammys and more than two dozen Dove Awards for outstanding Christian music, plus they\u2019ve sold more than 20 million videos, and they still are packing the house all over the world\u2026<\/p>\n

Gaither DVD:\u00a0 \u201c\u2026our Homecoming celebration in New York\u2019s Carnegie Hall was a unique\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: \u2026performing homecoming events with their friends, stars of gospel music past and present. When they were named gospel song writers of the century in 2000, it was said the Gaithers are to Christian music what the Beatles were to pop music. They were among the first to introduce contemporary religious music.<\/p>\n

BILL GAITHER<\/strong>: In fact, we had a pretty well-known college that banned their kids in \u201968 from coming to see the Bill Gaither Trio because they said it\u2019s worldly music.<\/p>\n

Concert Singing: \u201c\u2026swing down chariot, stop and let me ride, swing down chariot, stop and let me ride. Rock me, Lord\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: Where would you say that you fit into the evangelical world?<\/p>\n

\"\"BILL GAITHER<\/strong>: I\u2019m not sure we really do. I think we\u2019ve been mavericks from the beginning.<\/p>\n

Concert Singing: \u201c\u2026stop and let me ride, swing down chariot, stop\u00a0and let me ride\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

BILL GAITHER<\/strong>:\u00a0Are we contemporary? Are we traditional? Are we country? Are we progressive? Labels are so dangerous. I\u2019m a follower of Christ. I believe in the message. I believe in redemption, and if I didn\u2019t, Gloria and I would stop today and go to the mountains and retire and rock on a rocking chair.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: Bill and Gloria Gaither have earned enough fame and money to live any place they choose. They have chosen to stay right here in Alexandria, Indiana, population about 6,000. It was picked by the federal government during World War II\u00a0to use in\u00a0the propaganda theme throughout Europe depicting small town USA.<\/p>\n

GLORIA GAITHER<\/strong>: An awful lot of our lyrics and a lot of our philosophy comes\u00a0out of\u00a0being rooted in a small town with real people and real life.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: There was a time back in the mid-\u201980s that Bill Gaither felt his trio had peaked, but he wasn\u2019t ready to hang it up. He wanted one more shot to make a gospel hit. So he reached out.<\/p>\n

BILL GAITHER<\/strong>:\u00a0You know, and I called a bunch of the old timers and I said, ah, we\u2019re gonna come in and have fun. We\u2019re gonna have the radio days.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: And they came to join Bill and his Gaither Vocal Band\u2014big stars from all over the country. Little did they know that this reunion with the Gaithers would turn into a concert series around the world called Homecoming. The themes\u2014patriotism and religion.<\/p>\n

\"\"Gaither DVD: I invite you to travel with us as we return to the origins of our faith\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: What the people see on stage reflects the spiritual tone set off stage. Before each night\u2019s show there is a private prayer with the singers.<\/p>\n

GLORIA GAITHER<\/strong>: Lord, we love you, and we are always in awe when people come. We pray that we can be the channel that you can use to speak to somebody who is hurting or discouraged or just plain tired.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: Among Bill Gaither\u2019s fans are some who tell him they are not religious.<\/p>\n

BILL GAITHER<\/strong>: I think it\u2019s the music. I think it\u2019s a positive message. I think it\u2019s community.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s them seeing people care about other people.<\/p>\n

VERNA FISHER<\/strong>: I\u2019m here because I love the spirit of worship. I love to watch how they\u2014they\u2019re not there to perform. They\u2019re there to honor God.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: For the old timers, hanging out with Bill and Gloria has kept them from fading into oblivion. For some of the younger folks, Bill Gaither has catapulted their careers. Ask the Booth Brothers.<\/p>\n

RONNIE BOOTH<\/strong>: I mean, it just rapidly got bigger for us, bigger in that we were reaching audiences that we would have never\u00a0reached before, all because of his platform.<\/p>\n

MICHAEL BOOTH<\/strong>: Let\u2019s encourage each other, let\u2019s love each other,\u00a0support each other, and that is a summed-up way of the Bible expressing how the family of God is supposed to work, and so it\u2019s a little picture of the way\u00a0the family is supposed to work is\u00a0how this Gaither thing expresses itself\u00a0night after\u00a0night, on stage and off.<\/p>\n

\"\"LYNDA RANDLE<\/strong>: What I love that Bill says it’s not–we do a little entertaining because it\u2019s fun and people love to laugh, but then there\u2019s the ministry aspect of it.<\/p>\n

Gaither DVD: \u2026from the Wesleyan Campground in Fairmount, Indiana, Bill Gaither and friends welcome you to Down by the Tabernacle\u2026 <\/em><\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: Gloria and Bill still live in the house they bought back when they got married.<\/p>\n

GLORIA GAITHER<\/strong>: We had a marriage interview one time for a magazine, and they said do you ever fight?\u00a0To which we said, oh, you could sell tickets.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: Their business world has changed dramatically in the past few years. They have built the Gaither Music Company located along the highway\u00a0leading through the middle of their home town.\u00a0They travel like rock stars\u2014huge touring buses, sometimes a private jet.<\/p>\n

Gloria Gaither with visitors: We\u2019re so glad to have you,\u00a0and if any of your want to do a\u00a0studio tour… <\/em><\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: And they\u2019ve added a gift store-restaurant-reception facility for tourists and fans.<\/p>\n

ROBERT SILVERS<\/strong>: I\u2019d say if there\u2019s ever been a legend in gospel music, it has to be the Gaithers.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: Are you a minister or a musician?<\/p>\n

BILL GAITHER<\/strong>: Yes. Yes. Next question? \u00a0My old mentor-buddy used to say that Jesus must have been a pretty good entertainer to hold the attention of 5,000 people on a hillside at the Sea of Galilee without a microphone.<\/p>\n

JONES<\/strong>: In these times when the music world is in constant change, it is a near miracle that Bill, now 73, and Gloria Gaither\u00a0are still doing what they started doing decades ago. To paraphrase those early Bill Gaither lyrics, the Gaithers have been \u201ctouched.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill Gaither singing: \u201cHe touched me. Oh, he touched me, and all the joy that floods my soul\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

For Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly, I\u2019m Phil Jones in Alexandria, Indiana.<\/p>\n
