The Barrett Sisters are doing very well. I spoke to both Ms. Delois and Ms. Billie this week. Friday, June 4th they along with 24 other living gospel legends of Chicago where honored at a spectacular celebration. Please keep all three sisters in your prayers, they are in their 80's now. Still pressing, and still loving the Lord with their heart, mind and soul. They are such and inspiration and joy to know.

How is Delois Barrett Campbell and her sisters?
She is alive and well and eighty two years old...some health issues but generally in good health.Tidbits: The Barrett Sistersby EJ on Sept. 30, 2009 from Gospelpundit.com. Growing up in the 1930's, the sisters saw the passing of four of their siblings to tuberculosis, but their lives were spared from the illness.While in high school, Delois (the eldest sister) began singing with the famed Roberta Martin Singers. She traveled the world with the group for 18 years before returning home to Chicago and linking up with her younger sisters-- Billie and Rodessa-- to sing. They formed The Barrett Sisters in 1962 and recorded their first album a year later for Savoy Records. Today, they are known for their soaring voices and tight harmonies, which have helped to pioneer the sound of female gospel groups.Though the sisters, now in their late 70s and early 80s, do not perform much anymore, they're still active in their local church bodies. Delois has been in a wheelchair for some time now, battling arthritis and other health issues.I have followed the Barrett Sisters for more than 20 years. Growing up in Iowa I always felt it was possible to meet the Barrett Sisters and believed one day I would. I fell in love with their style of music and became addicted to their voices because of their tight harmonies, coupled with excellent diction. When they sing you can understand every single word they say and in gospel music that is critical.The Christmas season of 2003 I was given one of the best Christmas presents I will ever receive. I finally met Delois Barrett-Campbell and her sisters! God is good all the time, and all the time God is good! Not only did they take the time to talk with my family and I. They allowed us to ask them questions, they feed us, shared stories about their travels and the people they have met over the years etc. What I thought would be a 10-15 minute "how do you do" and maybe get pictures and autographs and then leave, has literally turned into a seven year relationship.I can truly tell you the Barrett Sisters appreciate and love their fan base. They share all the wonderful things people have done, are doing and will do for them at their concerts and anytime they have the opportunity to voice their appreciation. Most recently, a film maker from California completed the filming of an upcoming documentary of the Barrett Sisters. I believe you can Google Barrett sisters and see the trailer.The Barrett Sisters are wonderful women and most of all Godly women. God has been good to them, because they are good to many.

You are trying to find out about delores barrett of the barrett sisters and how she is doing?
Just look at YOUTUBE and you will know that all of the Barrett Sisters are a live and well. Mrs Campbell just turned 85 and has some health issues however she is very mentally alert. She loves to tell the stories of her life, some of which are outrageously funny! She enjoys hearing from her fans and reading the emails they send. Mrs Billie GreenBey who will be 83 in August looks good. She lives next door to Mrs. Campbell. Billie is the queen of the one liners-- Hilariously funny! Mrs. Rodessa Porter lives just down the street from the two sisters. At 80 years old she can hit those high notes that will blow the flag off the Sears Tower. All their spouses have passed on but the ladies are surround by family and friends. On any given day Mrs Campbell may have a gospel music legend sitting in her living room or at her kitchen table. Fans call and come by routinely. The Internet has revitalized The Barrett Sisters career. Visit their website Barrettsistersonline.com for information on their upcoming documentary.
