The Happy Goodman Family, a Southern gospel group from the United States, was founded in the 1940s by Howard "Happy" Goodman. The group initially consisted of Howard and his siblings, performing together until the late 1950s. In 1963, they released their first full-length recording I'm Too Near Home. They won a Grammy Award for a gospel album in 1968 and performed on the television program The Gospel Singing Jubilee. Songs include "I Wouldn't Take Nothing For My Journey Now" and "Who Am I?". In 1980, Howard and Vestal Goodman left the group. The family reunited in 1990 for a project called The Reunion, but Rusty Goodman died in November 1990.
