"The Speer Family". They helped BUILD southern gospel music. Great musical artists, and even better people!!! Thank you, JESUS, for allowing us to enjoy them for quite a long season!
I love this family and all the blessings they brought to me and others. Wow! 77 years! For those of you left in the Speer family lineage, we appreciate the Speer Family Singers and you.
My wife and in our early years of marriage were very fortunate to get to see and hear the Speer family. We really enjoyed hearing mom and dad Speer singing and praising God. What a special time....
I was there that night...what an awesome outpouring of love to this family...the handshake and hug procession seemed to last forever..Brock was getting in bad shape at that time too, I got his autograph, he was pretty shaky in doing so, but meeting and talking to this family is a sweet memory...I even got to set near Rosa Nell during a shape note singing there that year..
My 5th Great Grandfather was James Speer from Washington County, Virginia. Never got to meet any, but, this family has meant a lot too many of us, and I grew up listening to them as a teen. Thank you, for your music and how you honored Our Lord...Amen.
Listening to this tonight after hearing of Faye Speers death today. She's on to be with husband, Brock and Mom & Dad Speers. This is a great remembrance of their career in gospel music. Thanks for the post.
they sang together so well even at their advanced ages. so sad this gospel music family are at home with Jesus except Ben. he still sings with gaither homecoming. rest in peace Brock, Mary tom, rose, and Faye. you are truly missed.
Rosa is still alive and I'm sorry about the prior post it was a typographical error. please forgive me. would love to meet Ben and rose before they pass. god bless you. Keith Muncy
+herecalico Nope because at the end, you can see Glen Payne near Mark Lowrey. '97 or '98 would be right because Glen was in the hospital during the '99 NQC

So very missed. Listened to them as a child and adult. Gospel Music lost legends of Southern Gospel here.

BEAUTIFUL PICTURE OF GOD THE SPEER FAMILY PAINTED WITH THEIR MUSIC 🎵🎶 AND THEIR LIVES THAT THEY LIVED BEFORE GOD AND THE WORLD 🌍!

I've been listening to them since about 1956 . They have always blessed me . Great . Thank you for sharing this.
WOOOOW!!!! I didn't think Faye Speer EVER sang by herself. I've neve heard her (I didn't even think she COULD sing alone)
The look Rosa gave Ben when he called her and Mary old
Thank Youu Speers ❤
👏
I always liked the Speer family. They are great singers for the Lord. It is what u do for the Lord that will last.
I love to hear the speer family sing

+FabbyGabby3 And also his sister , Mary Tom that passed away a year or two ago.
BACK TOGETHER AGAIN IN HEAVEN!
Brought tears to my eyes.
Dad Speer served with my great grandfather in WWI I have a photograph of them both in a Barack
Mary Tom sounded so much like Mom Speer in her later years.Bro Ben had some fun teasing his two sisters
The 11 people that gave this thumbs down need to be remembered in prayer!
they sang together so well even at their advanced ages. so sad this gospel music family are at home with Jesus except Ben. he still sings with gaither homecoming. rest in peace Brock, Mary tom, rose, and Faye. you are truly missed.
When did Rose pass away?
+Missy Wiley rose is still living I'm sorry for the misinformation. god bless you. Keith Muncy
Rosa is dead now too...
100 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!!!💗
I always loved Rosie's alto thought she sounded the most like their mother of the girls.she still does.
Keith Muncy rosa nell already passed away six weeks after her brother ben speer passed away
I knew that but she had not passed yet at the time I made the post. God bless and thanks for the comment.

Can’t wait to see them one day.
Wonderful, still looking for performance track of While Ages Roll
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE REWARDS AND AWARDS THE ORIGINAL SPEER FAMILY HAVE RECEIVED WHEN THEY WENT BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD?
IT SEEMS THAT I AM LATE TO EVERYTHING! I WAS LATE TO SEE THE SPEER FAMILY AND ALL OF THESE OTHER GROUPS, AND, I AM SORRY FOR THAT!
Dean Adkins has 2 or 3 clips from the 1998 convention. I wish they had released all the NQC videos!
Branden Blackwell Well this particular video is from the DVD called "NQC Live, The Louisville Years" released after the end of 2013.
Brock would die less than a year later. The other three all lived at least another 15 years. It's a shame they didn't keep singing.
I believe Rosa Nell is still living, as well as Ben. Mary Tom, and Brock, and Faye have passed away.
herecalico all five of them are now dead
IS THERE ANY WAY TO SEE THE ENTIRE SPEER FAMILY RETIREMENT CEREMONY AND CONCERT ON RUclips?
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
❤️❤️❤️
When they were in Clinton Il at a school. I Escorted the sisters to the bus!! I was there that night
Where did you get the 1998 NQC footage? I thought they only released 1999.
Branden Blackwell i think that year is wrong maybe, it may be later than that.
Branden Blackwell Brock Speer was gone by NQC 1999. He died March 1999 if I am not mistaken.
+herecalico Nope because at the end, you can see Glen Payne near Mark Lowrey. '97 or '98 would be right because Glen was in the hospital during the '99 NQC
If the was a the nqc I was there that night!
Is Mosie Lister Hovie Listers brother or son?
They are no releation.
herecalico
relation.
The video says this was in 2000?
+Terrill White disregard that, Brock died in 1999.
The first family ? No
Yes
