On becoming a Legend

Posted in: Commentary — Daniel J. Mount @ 9:34 pm

With most of the leading Southern Gospel bloggers discussing the same topic (here, here, and here), I thought it might not be a bad idea for at least one of us to give you something else to think about.

A recent commenter at the Averyfineline blog said: “Most of the people on the [Homecoming] videos right now are in the process of becoming legends, so it’s not as special [as seeing the legends].”

What makes someone a legend?

Years on the road? Character? Musical ability? Or perhaps a combination of all three?

And, beyond Bill and Gloria Gaither, whose songs will probably be sung until Jesus returns, does Southern Gospel have any other bona fide legends still alive?
