“There is Something About That Name” –Written in 1970. There is something very special about the name of Jesus. That’s why so many songs and hymns have been written about His name. But, as familiar as Bill (1936 – ) & Gloria Gaither (1942 – ) were with so many songs, they looked at Jesus’ name from a personal perspective. Gloria says this song came to them out of a personal experience that confirmed the power and effect the name of Jesus had on their everyday lives. In the previous few years before the writing of this song, their grandparents had died… one by one. Bill and Gloria Gaither were impressed by how often, even in their dying days, their grandparents spoke the name of Jesus. It was about this time that Bill and Gloria became parents. They weren’t sure they were ready for this new responsibility. So, when their child woke up in the middle of the night with a high fever, they began calling on the name of Jesus, the Great Physician. Yes, there’s something about that name.
