Карьера
[ редактировать ]Семья Шпеер
[ редактировать ]Downing began singing with the Speers when she was 18 and stayed with them for five years, during which she participated in more than 1,000 performances[2] and was especially known for her treatments of "I Must Tell Jesus" and "On the Sunny Banks".[1] In 1968, she left the group[2] to marry Paul Shirley Downing Jr.,[1] who had been a bass singer with The Dixie Echoes gospel group but had become a corporate sales trainer.[2]
The Downings
[edit]Later in 1968, her husband suggested forming their own group, and in the spring of 1969, The Downings debuted with a performance at Bruce High School.[2] In the summer of 1969, The Downings (described in the trade publication Billboard as "an unusually young gospel group") toured with Jimmie Davis and The Chuck Wagon Gang.[3] Eighteen of the group's recordings reached top-20 gospel songs ranking before the group disbanded in 1978. In 1970, Downing won the second Dove Award for Female Vocalist of the Year.[1]
Later ministries
[edit]Following the end of the singing group, Paul and Ann Downing focused on other ministries.[1] In 1991, while the couple was in Kentucky for an engagement, he had a heart attack, and he died about two months later. She became a solo artist after her husband's death, when she completed the tour that the couple had begun. She also continued working on plans that the couple had started for creation of the Middle Tennessee Women's Retreat. She was host of the first retreat in May 1992.[2] She became a regular performer on Gaither Homecoming videos and has appeared on the Family Channel, TBN, and TNN television networks.[4] In May 1999 Downing landed a spot #8 spot on the Singing News Radio Airplay Chart with her song "Climbing Jacobs Ladder" from her 1999 album Oceans of Grace. It was the #25 song on the Singing New Charts for 1999.
In 2020, Downing had a full schedule that mixed speaking engagements (including events for women's groups and senior adult groups) and church concerts not only in the United States and Canada, but also in some European countries.[5] Topics on which she speaks to groups include dealing with loss of a spouse, trauma in a family, fading success, and financial ruin.[6] She also is the author of a book, Skidmarks on the Road of Life.[5] Downing released her latest album Step By Step in 2021, it features a collection of songs most of which were co-written by Downing.
In 1998, Downing was inducted into the Gospel Music Association Hall Of Fame as part of the Speer Family. In 2018, Downing was inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Association Hall of Fame.[7]
