An exhilarating existence

Arthelene Rippy's background of being a minister's daughter as well as her present status as a minister's wife, gives to her a wealth of experience in the realm of Gospel songs.  On this album,  Arthelene shares with you her own exhilarating existence in Christian living in the exciting theme song of "It's a new life!"  Her conception of God shines through in the challenging cry of "How Big is God?"  Suddenly, you are taken into His presence by such old favorites as "In the Garden".

A woman under constant influence

Since childhood, Arthelene Rippy has been under the constant influence of the Gospel. 
Dr. B. Owen Oslin,Pastor, Evangel Temple, Fort Smith

 ★ 

Arthelene Rippy's father was Rev. R.A. McClure. She divorced Don Rippy in November 1975.   Rev. Don Rippy was found dead in his apartment in St. Petersburg, Florida in September 1977.

Arthelene Rippy has been with CTN (Christian Television Network) since it began in 1978. Tragic events in her life left her to raise her family alone, but God used this tragedy for His glory through "Solo Act,"  Arthelene's first CTN program that inspired millions of other struggling single mothers. In 1995 Arthelene shifted gears to address the needs of the entire family with her nationwide program, "Homekeeper's"

Miss Lois Powell's "Woo-Ee-Baby", an unissued acetate recorded in Little Rock, was issued by Cees Klop on "41 Years Collector Records - 40 Was Not Enough"  (CLCD 4550).  You can listed to this song at YouTube HERE.  She sounds a little like Wanda Jackson.

A Lois Powell, "Western gal singer" was signed to the short-living Enterprise Records in 1946.  Same "gal"?

Finally, I found two songs penned by Lois Powell in the BMI database both published by Bolivar Music Co. : 

     1.     Honkey Tonk Town,

     2.     Juke Box Blues      

Searching the names of the three musicians listed on the label leads to nowhere.

The Davis Brothers on Rebel

The Davis Brothers

Rebel 730

16395 - How I Can Tell Her

16395 - Ain't Gonna Work Tomorrow
(Ira & Charlie Louvin)

Bluegrass, 1966.

Label owned by Shelby Smith, out of Batesville, Arkanas.

The brothers came from the Memphis area and featured acoustic guitar and mandolin on their shows. Elder brother Bill would later record for Bill Glore, a stalwart producer of the Memphis scene. (source : Dave Travis, Stomper Time STCD 16)

Bill Gentry on Universal Artist

Bill Gentry

Universal Artist 1001

18909 - Baby What'ya Say
18910 – If You Want My Love

1967 country bopper issued on "Rock Jump Rock" (Collector CLCD 4456) in 1999. According to the information found at the back cover, the song was published by UARPSCO, publisher associated with the Texarkana, Arkansas Universal Artists -note the plural- label.

Perhaps the label's owner discarded the singular when he had the opportunity to record a second artist - event that he didn't expect at first ?

Kenny Owens on Reka

Kenny Owens

Reka 401

13317 - Wrong Line
13318 - Come Back Baby

Kenny Owens had records on Lou Krefetz's Poplar Records as Kenny Owen (58), on Ollie McLaughlin's Ruth label as Kenny Owens, on the Chance label out of Fayetteville, Arkansas as by Ken Owens And The Del-Rays and on his own Ork (Kenny Owens initials spelled backwards) label as Kenny Owens.

Kenny had a large following in the Jonesboro area. He had a TV variety show on KAIT Jonesboro in the late 60's. He recorded with Larry Donn (of "Honey Bun" fame -Vaden Records) an album issued on his own Ork label.

Larry Donn :

In 1969, Kenny Owens came to me with the idea that he and I should be partners. He was good at booking jobs, and I had a good band, so we joined forces. In '70, we went to Wayne Raney's studio in Concord, Arkansas, and recorded an album for road sales ('Kenny Owens & The Travellers With Mid-American Music' - Ork LP 1003). Kenny did one side and I did five songs on the other side.

The Reka label was owned by Meteor recording artist Jimmy Lamberth. See Reka Records where you can listen to the Kenny Owens' Reka sides.
