<p class="just">After moving with his family to California and being converted to Christ at age 18, Buffum felt a call to the ministry. He held ministerial credentials with the Church of the Nazarene, and was a holiness/Pentecostal evangelist. He was also a song writer, with many songs inspired by personal experience. He was quite prolific, with some 10,000 songs to his credit (1,000 of these were actually published).
|
|
Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” claimed he once wrote 12 songs in an hour. Though a talented musician, Buffum received no musical training. He sold most of his songs for five dollars or less. When he died, the <em>Los Angeles Times</em> called him “The King of Gospel Song Writers.”</p>
