“Come Morning” was a number one hit on the Southern Gospel Charts back in 1980. The song was written by Dee Gaskin, but it was the Rex Nelon Singers who took the song to the top of the charts. Once the song hit number one it stayed there for three months.
My church friend Sharon and I loved to sing the song and were always excited when the choir director called out the number.
The church was still singing the song by the time Chatter and Chitter came a long. Here’s a video they did of “Come Morning” a few weeks ago.
I hope you enjoyed the song!

I use to watch Kelly and Rex Nelon every time they came on TV. They could sing real good, Rex was a bass singer, mostly. Unlike Pap singing High Tenor the way Chatter does, that girl adds Flavor to Chitter’s singing. …Ken

March 15, 2020 at 11:20 amI have never heard this song, but I really enjoyed it. A good way to begin my Sunday, as our church is closed because of the Corona virus. Such talented young women!

March 15, 2020 at 10:47 amThat’s my definition of music! I hope the Girls will always include some of it in their repertoire and I have a feeling they will. It’s in their blood.

March 15, 2020 at 8:54 amWe sing that one to. I think it is in our ‘traveling’ songbook we use when we go to other churches.
Great sound girls! I’m glad you all sing hymns also. I’m sure you have probably been told at least once you could be more popular if you didn’t, especially the ‘oldies’. But it is better to be transformed than conformed.
Tipper, I like the sunlight on the moss picture. I know what you were trying to do (something very difficult). And I suspect you didn’t quite succeed to your satisfaction. But it tells me you pay attention to ‘the little things’ that are bright spots whenever and wherever noticed. I think of Jan Karon’s book “Patches of Godlight”.
