People know LuLu as the most requested female cast member of the long running hit television series, "Hee Haw". Many know her as the accomplished and celebrated songwriter, and as the singer who has been successfully making records for over 25 years.

Few know that LuLu was born with a thyroid dysfunction in a home for unwed mothers and quickly dropped off in an orphanage. It was there that her weight problem furthered her pain, preventing her adoption and making her the center of teasing by the other children. It was also during this time that LuLu learned to use her sense of humor as a defense.

That sense of humor later evolved into a highly successful career as an actress and comedienne with a lead role on "Hee Haw". Success and wealth, however, proved poisonous to the actress who began her career in her early twenties. Drug addiction led LuLu on a downward spiral that nearly destroyed her life and her career in 1971.

LuLu's search for happiness and acceptance, which had almost led her to her personal destruction, instead, led her to God. It was her new found faith in God that led her to begin using a talent that had been lying dormant for many years: her voice.

In 1999, LuLu was inducted into the Country Gospel Music Hall of Fame. In 2002 LuLu's 16th album, a collection of hits and favorites called "LuLu INSPIRED" was nominated for a Dove Award. In 2006, LuLu recorded the song "Orphan Girl" which is the title song of an "Americana" type of recording project which features Gospel, Country and Rhythm & Blues. This almost biographical song has become her signature song and is enjoyed in concerts all over the United States.

Her newest project entitled "Seven Times" has been over three years in the making. "I am very proud of this project," says LuLu. "It features songs by a wonderful songwriter named Michael Wells. It also has a special song written by Dottie Rambo. She had never gotten the chance to record it before her passing and she asked me to share it with the world."

What a lovely story about a lovely woman. You go, girl!!!!

[Viking2002]

WOW. I swear I thought I'd read her obit a few years back. Looks like she's living her best days right here in the present. Good for her.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

Yes, LuLu - looking good. Good luck in your career.

Loved HeeHaw and that cute little blond. And then there were the three Mandel sisters - They say “good things come in threes” - yes, two brunetts and a blond.

I believe that “cute little blond” you refer to is none other than Misty Rowe.

Seven Times gets a lot of airplay on our local gospel station. I had no idea this was the woman from Hee Haw!
