There is so much song, laughter, love and genial warmth...that your TV set could very easily overheat.

Landis. Particularly featured are performances by her sons’ gospel quartet The Golden Echoes of such songs as "Troubles of the World," "Going Up to Meet Him," and "The Old Rugged Cross," and family and church performances of "Mighty Close to Heaven," "Come and Let's Go to that Land," and "There's Union up in Heaven."
