Being named "Old-ham" is an unfortunately appropriate coincidence for this talented elderly Christian gentleman with a flair for incorporating earnest melodrama, spoken word, and robust vibrato into his religious musical performances. Still, Doug seems like an amiable fellow and I wouldn't mind spending Christmas with him, his lovely wife Laura Lee, and their three daughters—who range from "just like dad" to "just like mom" with one "mixed" daughter in between. The girls have been strategically placed in the family's holiday photo in case folks have trouble guessing which daughter goes where on the Oldham genetic spectrum. You can read about Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductee Doug Oldham on his website here, were you can also order more of his music on CDs, which his daughter Rebekah will send to you, if she can find the time.
