Bishop F.C. Barnes Has Passed Away

Bishop F.C. Barnes who was best known for the song “Rough Side of the Mountain” which he recorded with Rev. Janice Brown has passed away. The song gained great notoriety as it was played on countless radio stations and crossed the racial divide to become a hit even on primarily southern gospel ( aka white gospel ) radio stations across the country. He remained active in Gospel Music and most recently worked with Darrell Luster on the single, “God Is God (He Don’t Change).

SoGospel.Com would like to express our sympathy to the Barnes Family. Gospel Music has lost a great voice.
