Song: "Lady"

[ listen ]

This 1976 solo LP by Reba Rambo (formerly of The Rambos) has a lot to say about rainbows. The album's first cut, "The Land of Ooh's and Ah's" even makes a (somewhat cumbersome) attempt to meld the plot of "The Wizard of Oz" with Christian ideology. The song lyrics are included below. I've also posted Reba's dramatically breathy and eerily beautiful "Lady," which examines Jesus' life from his mother's perspective. You can read about Reba Rambo and find her discography here, go here to read about Reba's support of the Gay Christian Movement (heart-warming, though hardly surprising given her recurring references to rainbows and "The Wizard of Oz"), and click on "Our Pastors" here to find out what Reba and husband Dony are up to nowadays. I left my mp3 music files at home, so will post links tomorrow. Meanwhile, here's a video clip of Reba Rambo performing "The Land of Ooh's and Ah's":
