Don Deal

Hear Don's Brand New Gospel Project "My Fathers Voice" just in time for Summer 2008!

                              A farm boy raised with six brothers at Honey Creek, IA.

                                               Music has always been my life.

I’m serious, in my very first memory I’M LISTENING TO MUSIC. Dad and Mom, moved us to California when I was about fourteen. We settled in a small LA suburb Bell Gardens, now my appetite for music was starting to cook. I found a job at a wonderful family owned music store. A small recording studio was in the back. All the local boys would come there to work on their music WHAT MEMORIES!

Smoky Rodgers discovered me, and took me to San Diego. I sang in his Ballroom and a TV show from Tijuana, Mexico. One night Johnny Cash was the guest artist and I found my self on the road with him, Carl Perkins, and all his brothers for two years. I had been recording for ERA records in Hollywood, and doing well singing Rock A Billy. I moved to Capital Records, and then M-G-M. I have worked with most of the singing artists, and musicians, I performed the record hops, TV shows Including American Band Stand. I also write some songs. GOD, has been great to me. I’m thankful to be a part of music as I have known it. I want to serve GOD. I have been praying for a Ministry. I am so thrilled for this opportunity, if this music will help one soul to know the wonderful Love from GOD that you and I know, How Precious, How Precious! I hope you like my music and be part of this Ministry

I Thank You, so very much!

Until next time,

A BIG Gospel Classics Welcome to "Gary and Carol Bibb"!

Gospel Classics Welcomes Recording Artist "Jimmy Eaves"!

Jimmy Eaves

Jimmy was born in Eaves City, Oklahoma, a small town that no longer exists. He lived in Eaves City and then in a small town called Poolville where his great-uncle, Jim Eaves, homesteaded land during the Oklahoma Land rush.
He got his first guitar ( a Gene Autry guitar) when he was about 7 years old. He was lucky to have and old gentleman neighbor teach him to play the basic chords on the guitar. Jim performed in several churches in the area, and would take his guitar to school to perform for his classmates and teachers. Hank Williams was his idol, but he loved all the "hillbilly" singers. He appeared on a TV show in Lawton, Oklahoma, called "The Southwest Jamboree" and also on a TV show called "The Dixie Boy Jordan Show" in Wichita Falls, Texas, at the age of 14. He enlisted in the Navy in January, 1955. The first half of his military tour was spent in Pensacola, Florida, and the second half was in Atsugi, Japan. Jim was discharged from the Navy in 1958. Things were not so good when he returned in 1958. He picked cotton and worked in the oilfields. He formed a small band, and they played "The Davis Barn Dance": in Davis, Oklahoma. The band played for 1/2 of the door money, and needless to say, it didn't last long. He moved to Fort Worth, Texas in 1960. He attended trade school at night and worked at a steel mill and an auto repair shop in the daytime. He performed on the "Cowtown Hoe Down" in Fort Worth, and in numerous clubs in Oklahoma and Texas.
When "Panther Hall" opened in the early 60's he performed on some of the live TV shows from there on TV channel 11 (KTVT) in Fort Worth.
Jimmy and his wife, Jenny, (whom he married in 1956) recorded their first 45 rpm record on the "panther" label in the early 60's. Their oldest son, Jimmy Lee, Jr., was about 3 years old when Jimmy decided to quit the music business. He became a Fort Worth firefighter in 1965. For about 20 years he did not perform although everyone knew Jim really missed performing during that time. His youngest son, David Lee, was born in 1969.
After the children were grown, he started his musical career again. He formed a band in the late 80's and called it, "Pure Country Band". He recorded his first cassette tape in 1990, which was a tribute to Hank Williams, Sr. called "Jimmy Eaves Sings the Hits of Hank Williams". This recording was made while Jim was performing in the Fort Worth Stockyards at a club called "The Longhorn Saloon" where he performed for over 6 years. Two more recordings were made called "Jim Eaves Sings Pure Country", (1997), and "Bringing Back Memories"(1999).
Jimmy and Frankie Miller (The Black Land Farmer) recorded a country gospel CD called "Frankie Miller and Jimmy Eaves Singing Gospel Music the Country Way" which was released in May, 2001, and is doing great. Jimmy says it is a pleasure working with such a talented person as Frankie Miller (The Blackland Farmer), and they tour together on most shows. They have performed with many country artists such as Johnny Bush, Darrell McCall, Willie Nelson, Claude Gray, Floyd Tillman, Tilmon Frank, and many more over the last few years. Jimmy and Frankie were guests on the "The Midnight Jamboree" at the Troubadour Theater in Nashville, Tennessee, with Darrell and Mona McCall, and also in the original "Ernest Tubb Record Shop" on Broadway in Nashville with host George Hamilton IV.
Frankie and Jimmy host a county show in the "Fort Worth Stockyards" in Fort Worth Texas. They have been doing this show for over 5 years, and they have special guests such as Johnny Bush, Darrell and Mona, Billy Walker, Bill Mack, and many more great folks. Sometimes it looks like a DJ convention. Thanks a lot to David McCormick, Jim Stenson, and J.J. Lockett, for all their support in keeping Country music "Country".

Jimmy and his wife, Jenny, recorded a new CD titled "Listening To The Bluebird Sing" Released in Nov. 2003, containing 1. I Heard The Bluebird Sing, 2. Next Sunday Is My Birthday, 3. One Quarter At A Time, 4. Somewhere Between, 5. Whoever Said Life Was Easy, 6. Soldiers Last Letter, 7. Beer On The Bar, 8. Things Will Have To Change, 9. Ole Hank, 10. What's In Our Heart, 11.

Gladys Jones introduces her New CD "Somebody's Watching You" !

Gladys Jones

Gladys is accompanied by Johnny Ray on "Peace In The Valley".

**Gladys also has a new single, soon to be released on Ready Records called "Deliverance"**

 From Gladys: I began my ministry in 1991. After much encouragement, I was soon singing in concerts and churches all over the east coast. By the grace of God, I had an experience that moved me. I remember the first time someone came to the alter while I was singing. I knew it wasn't anything I had done. It was by the drawing of the Holy Spirit of God. I feel the anointing of the Holy Spirit lead me to my calling. When I see the people of the street, if not for the grace of God, I know there goes me. I'm a member of His Laboring Few Biker Ministries. They do a mighty work for Jesus..... Gladys

Gospel Classics is pleased to welcome "Sharron Kay King" to our site!

Sharron Kay King

ELKHART , Ind. - One Day at a Time , Sharron Kay King's debut album for Butler Music Group, is currently the featured CD on CDBaby.com. CDBaby.com is an online music store that specializes in independent artists. The site is the largest online independent music store on the web and sells every genre of music. 

CDBaby.com had this to say about the album: "Rarely is country gospel this sweet, this feeling, this moving beyond belief. With the elegance, emotion and charm of Emmylou Harris, Sharron Kay King's ringing vocals lead these wonderful country songs with pure heart and soul. Fleshed out with rich guitar, fiddle, sweet mandolin and an easy going beat, One Step at a Time flows with such ease, it echoes the effortless flow of streams coming to life in the Spring. Classic while remaining fresh and original, this album will be spreading smiles and good feelings for all who stop to be touched by it." 

"I can't believe that such a great site like CDBaby.com would choose to feature my CD," responded Sharron. "This is great news, and hopefully, others who would not normally pick up a CD by a girl like me will give my music a chance. This is a wonderful opportunity to spread the Gospel!" 

THINGS GOD HAS DONE WITH MY LIFE 
I started writing songs soon after I gave my life to the Lord. Much to my surprise, people actually liked them. Only then did I realize that God was working through me to help other people. 

I was not fully aware of the direction God was leading me but I knew His hand was upon me. I finally subjected myself to His perfect will after years of singing at revivals, fairs, homecomings, nursing homes and even to prison inmates. He revealed to me that I must share my testimony along with the songs He was giving me. It was then that I realized I had been robbing God of the glory He so greatly deserved. I understood my testimony could encourage others who were struggling in this life to be happy. 

God has opened many doors for me. I have shared my ministry with folks throughout 14 states. I have also been blessed to share the stage with some of Gospel Music's finest. I have been part of opening acts for such artists as Jeff & Sheri Easter, Karen Peck & New River, The Perry Sisters, The Kingsmen, The McGruders, and my dear friends The Dunaways. Tammy Dunaway produced my 2nd album, All Is Well. I am looking forward to my new album, One Step At A Time. Produced by Les Butler of Family Music Group and Butler Music Group. My new album should be available August 2004. 

Let us go to the House of the Lord together! It is an honor for me to tell what Jesus has done for me. He tells us in His words, "If we be ashamed of Him, He would be ashamed of us." I don't ever want to be found ashamed of Him or His amazing grace. I pray that all who hear my testimony will be encouraged and all who hear my music will be touched. 

"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony;" Rev. 12:11 

Beliefs: 
We believe God is in control of all things all of the time. If we concentrate on the misfortune in our lives it could easily weaken or even destroy our faith. We all suffer misfortune. Upon reading about the life of Jesus Christ; who am I to complain about such things? For He willingly left His throne in Glory to live as a carpenters son. He was beaten and mocked; spit upon and ridiculed for doing good and bringing truth to mankind. Jesus suffered for all my sin, He died to set me free. But, He arose the third day that I could live with Him forever! WHAT AN AWESOME GOD WE SERVE!!!! WHAT LOVE! WHAT AMAZING GRACE!!! 

My desire is for God to be glorified in all that I do. 

ABOUT SHARRON
In one single moment, God can change the heart and life of a person. The greatest of sinners is never too far out of the reach of God's long arm of love. Sharron Kay King is a testament to the awesome Grace of God and His redeeming power. "I was saved in 1987 - completely set free and delivered from over 13 years of a drug and alcohol addiction," recalled Sharron. At the young age of 14, Sharron's life began to spiral into a habit of drugs and alcohol. At the age of 27, Sharron's mother disowned her - a time when her life was at her worst. 
"I was so heavily involved in drugs and drinking that she absolutely turned her back on me," said Sharron. "That was when God began to work in my heart. My mother always prayed for me, and many nights I'm sure I kept her up all night." "I was born again, July 25, 1987," remarked Sharron. "After being delivered from drugs and alcohol, you can bet I had lots to sing and shout about! When God miraculously saved me, I had such a desire to do something for him. I began to sing in the church choir." Sharron attempted to play the guitar soon after that, but she became discouraged at her lack of skill on the instrument. Then one day, nearly two years later, Sharron heard a still small voice telling her to pick it back up. "While walking past the closet where I stored my guitar, I heard a small voice say, 'Pick it up.' I turned to see that no one was there and again heard the words 'pick it up.' So, I picked up that old guitar and sat on the side of the bed and much to my surprise, began to play music," Sharron recalled. 
"I tried several times to walk away from playing music and singing in front of people, because I didn't think I was good enough to be a professional," mentioned Sharron. "All that changed when I realized I was called to be a carrier of the Good News of Jesus Christ." "I know now that people are encouraged by my testimony," mentioned Sharron. "I want my life to reflect the love and mercy that Jesus has for me. I want to see people who think there is no hope find what they have been searching for!" "I love singing about Lord! I can express myself better in a song than I ever could speaking to any one. My songs are my message and testimony." Sharron said. "I don't know what God has in store for me in the future. What ever God bids me do, I hope that He will find me willing and obedient to follow the path He has laid before me." Sharron's closing comment, "Although my Mother turned her back on me at the worst time of my life, I understand now that was the best thing she could have possibly done. We don't realize how precious something is in our life until we've lost it. My Mother and I now are the best of friends. I'm so thankful she used tough love. I'm sorry for the grief and hardship I put her through, but I am ever so grateful for the outcome!"
