Early years edit

Musical career edit

Oldham was a musical performer for more than 60 years, with 64 albums to his credit, often traveling and performing with his wife Laura Lee.[5] The couple produced a CD and wrote three books together.

Early years edit

Oldham traveled with Fred Waring and Waring's Pennsylvanians in 1951 and sang as a member of that group's Glory Voices Quartet.[3]

Radio edit

Beginning in 1950, Oldham was a soloist on the Christian Brotherhood Hour, after having served as soloist for several years on the broadcast of Cadle Tabernacle in Indianapolis, Indiana.[3]

Television edit

Oldham was a regular performer on The Old Time Gospel Hour with Jerry Falwell, The PTL Club with Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker during the 1970s and 80s, and traveled with the Bill Gaither Trio and the Slaughters during the 1960s. In 1975, he sang with the Speer Family for Christian concerts.[6] He was also a performer on several of Bill Gaither's Gaither Homecoming videos.

Influence edit

The trials that Oldham faced in his life were the basis for "a number of songs ... including Something Worth Living For and Thanks to Calvary (We Don't Live Here Anymore).[2]

Oldham's album, Something Worth Living For, was named the best gospel album of 1968 by the National Evangelical Film Foundation.[3]

In the mid-1970s, Oldham was granted an honorary doctor of divinity degree from the California Graduate School of Theology.[7] In 2006, he was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.[8]

He was the recipient of two GMA Dove Awards and an Angel Award.[6]

In 2007, Liberty University named a campus recital hall at the Fine Arts Building, the "Oldham Recital Hall, in his honor and established the Liberty University Oldham Concert Hall Scholarship Fund at the Center for Worship.[5]
