The third inductee into the Southern Gospel song hall of fame comes from the pen of Nancy Harmon. Nancy Harmon’s songwriting talents began getting recognized in the Southern Gospel music industry in the early 1970′s. The LeFevres were one of the first groups to record Nancy Harmon’s compositions.
“I’ve Come Too Far” was first recorded by the LeFevres on their 1972 album The New Sounds Of The LeFevres. This was a bass singer feature highlighting the smooth bass singing of Rex Nelon on the first verse. After the LeFevres retired, the Rex Nelon Singers would go on to record the song on their 1978 Live album.
It was some 26 years later when the Hoppers would record it on their 2004 recording Generations. The Hoppers took the song to #1 and it has become a Connie Hopper featured classic. Every now and again I will go back and view this YouTube clip of Nancy Harmon singing her own composition, the third inductee into the Southern Gospel song hall of fame.
