Among the country music and bluegrass "standards" that were first published by Stamps-Baxter are "Rank Strangers to Me", "Just a Little Talk with Jesus", "Precious Memories", "Farther Along", "If We Never Meet Again", "Victory in Jesus", and "I Won't Have to Cross Jordan Alone".
[2] Stamps and Baxter operated a music school which was the primary source of the thousands of gospel songs they published.
Another major part of the corporation was its sponsorship of gospel quartets who sang the company's music in churches throughout the southern United States.
Stamps got his start working for the James D. Vaughan Publishing Company from which he got many of his business ideas.
[3] Frank's defection did not hurt the Stamps-Baxter company in the long run, although it did lead to some confusion among the public.
The choral publishing arm was subsequently sold to the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship-associated Celebrating Grace, Inc. in 2023.
Each book included four or five older public domain songs such as John Newton's "Amazing Grace", Mackay's "Revive Us Again", Stennett's "I Am Bound for the Promised Land", and Smith's "America".
