Biography

Lulu Roman, a retired professional go-go dancer, hails from the vibrant city of Dallas, Texas, and rose to notable fame as a talented cast member on the iconic country comedy television series, Hee Haw, which premiered in 1969. Throughout her tenure on the show, Roman's physical appearance underwent a significant transformation, with her weight gradually increasing to nearly 300 pounds. However, her personal struggles with drug addiction ultimately led to her departure from the series in 1970, following a series of unfortunate arrests that had a profound impact on her life.

Jeanette B. Roman's professional journey took a dramatic turn following her departure from the iconic country music variety show, Hee Haw. As she embarked on a path of spiritual discovery, Roman's newfound faith in Christianity played a pivotal role in her personal transformation. This profound conversion led her to re-examine her priorities, causing her to step back from the lifestyle she had previously embodied.

Roman's rededication to her faith ultimately led her to return to Hee Haw, but only on the condition that a Christian song would be incorporated into each subsequent episode. This compromise allowed her to reconcile her professional obligations with her newfound devotion, enabling her to maintain a sense of integrity and authenticity in her work.

The transformative experience had a profound impact on Roman, culminating in the establishment of the "Christian Barber Shop", a distinctive segment that showcased a diverse array of vocalists and musicians. This talented ensemble, comprising notable Hee Haw members such as the legendary Grandpa Jones, the accomplished Roy Clark, the witty Archie Campbell, and one additional esteemed artist, brought together a rich tapestry of musical styles and perspectives.

Roman's profound spiritual awakening also stirred within her a deep desire to dedicate her life to Christian music, and she has since embarked on a remarkable journey as a gospel singer. Her tireless touring schedule has taken her to numerous events and concerts, including those featuring the renowned gospel musician Bill Gaither, with whom she has shared the stage and shared her gift with countless audiences.
