Not sure what to say?

Take your rest "Pops". You were a great play dad that brought so much joy to others through your music. Music that will live on forever. I will always remember your wise cracks and our many laughs. May God bless and keep your family in your absence.

The gospel world has lost a legend. I grew up on the Five Blind Boys' music and Clarence Fountain was a joy to see and hear. Thank you Lord for blessings.

I recall to mind how Gospel artist, Fred Hammond, sampled Clarence Fountain's voice from the Five Blind Boys of Alabama's song of the 1960's, "Our Revival Time" into his 1991 song, "I Came To Jesus As I Was." It was my first time hearing a Gospel tune sampled into another Gospel song. I still like both songs to this day. Thank God for the gift of Clarence and his anointed voice, and for giving us hope of eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

one of the best now rest in jesus name . amen

"And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away and be at rest."

Condolence to Mrs. Barbara Fountain and Family. You have a beautiful bank of memories that you can withdraw from at any time. Baton Rouge is honored to have had Bro. Fountain make this his home and have a little part of the History of this great legend. My family have been fans for over 60 years. We wish God's blessing on you and your family in your hour of bereavement.
