1908 - 1989      

Carl Stuart Hamblen was born on October 20, 1908 in Kellyville, Texas, the son of a itinerant Methodist preacher.

Between 1931 and 1952, he had several radio programs on the air and appeared in some 10 western movies.

In 1949, Stuart attended a prayer meeting being held by a young Billy Graham in Los Angeles. He made a decision to devote his life to Christ. He gave up his drinking, his radio programs and acting career, and began traveling across the country speaking and singing at Youth for Christ rallies, Billy Graham crusades, and churches with his wife, Suzy.

In the early 50s, he started a nationally syndicated radio program called the “The Cowboy Church of the Air”. When the sponsors demanded he do a commercial promoting alcohol, he refused--and the sponsors pulled out ending his show.



It is no secret what God can do.
What He's done for others,
He'll do for you.
With arms wide open,
He'll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.

In 1952, the Prohibition Party nominated him to run for President of the United States (Eisenhower won that year).

Stuart is best known by Christians for the many songs he wrote. His most well known is It Is No Secret, which was written in 1951 reportedly after a casual remark (“...sounds like a song”) by actor John Wayne to Stuart, so it is said (see the Creating a Gospel Classic link below).

In 1954, he was signed by RCA Victor and his first release for them, This Ole House, reached the top of the Country & Western charts as sung by Stuart, and Rosemary Clooney’s rendition reached number 3 on the pop charts.

Stuart Hamblen was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1976.
