Jimmy Swaggart Vinyl Record Albums

Jimmy Swaggart (born March 15, 1935 in Ferriday, Louisiana) is a Christian preacher and pioneer of televangelism who reached the height of his popularity in the 1980s. During the 1970s Swaggart established a lucrative ministry under the Assembly of God, which in the 1980s was estimated to make over $150 million per year. Swaggart is perhaps best known for his highly publicized prostitution scandal in 1988. When the PTL scandal destroyed fellow Assemblies of God minister Jim Bakker, Swaggart publicly denounced Bakker as "a cancer on the body of Christ." Shortly afterward Swaggart faced his own sex scandal, as a private investigator hired by a rival evangelist Marvin Gorman documented a series of meetings with prostitutes. (Gorman himself had been fired from the Assembly of God ministry after Swaggart had reported that Gorman was having an adulterous affair.)
