My Annual Fan Awards Reminder

The 2023 Singing News Fan Awards balloting begins this month, and subscriber copies of this issue contains the nominating ballot for this year's awards. This is your first opportunity this year to show your support for your favorite in multiple categories. With that in mind, let me take this opportunity to address several questions that usually arise during each year's balloting. 1.) Who may I vote for? You can vote for any artist/musician/song/album/radio broadcaster in any category, provided that all eligibility requirements for that category are met. 2.) What are the eligibility requirements for each category? Eligibility guidelines for each category are found on Page 34 and 35 of this issue. 3.) I see many advertisements, asking to be considered for the awards. Must I pick my choices from those? No. As long as your choice of…

My Annual Fan Awards Reminder

Songwriting is a relational endeavor—from the friendships we share with other writers to those we share with our publishers who co-labor in the task of getting the songs to the artists. One of my favorite co-writers, Chris Binion, and I had never met until he arrived at our first writing session a dozen years ago. His goal that morning was the same as mine—to write a three-minute “sermon” that tells someone about Jesus. Born and raised in Texas, Chris has lived in the Lone Star State for most of his life. A prolific musician, his various talents led to the position of part-time worship leader during high school before taking on the job of full-time youth pastor in 1994. In 2002, God opened the door for Chris to transition into administration,…

Honor the Past, Embrace the Present, Celebrate the Future

“Honor the past, embrace the present, celebrate the future” - Somebody on the internet This month, I want to highlight something that I personally believe is very important. Honor The Past This music is built on its past. Many wonderful people have blazed a trail through the decades, leading to what we see today. Songs that are centuries old have stood the test of time because they still speak, minister to, and comfort people. The reason we have what we have today is because of the hard work and sacrifice that our pioneers made. It would be a shame to ignore, or altogether forget, what they worked so hard to build. To stick with the theme of this article, the lasting impressions made are simply too many to count! The societal norm today…

Drew Laney Listens to Big & Live For The First Time

Twenty-one-year-old Drew Laney, hired by Ray Dean Reese this past September to assist him on bass vocals with The Kingsmen, has already made thousands of new fans and friends across the country. I recently sent him The Kingsmen’s Big & Live album on mp3 to listen to, and I asked him to submit some comments regarding the upcoming 50th Anniversary concert on March 24-25 in Gadsden, Alabama. Drew returned with five notebook pages worth of notes on how much he loved the album and is looking forward to the concert. Following are some snippets of his commentary on Gospel music’s most iconic live record … The Kingsmen were probably the hottest group during 1973. The people loved their energy and followed them wherever they could hear and see them in concert.…

Drew Laney Listens to Big & Live For The First Time

I can still see the place in my mind: the chapel sanctuary of McClurkan Hall, on the campus of Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tennessee. I was a 12-year-old vocal student of the Steve Hurst School of Music, and this particular evening, The Pfeifers were singing for the night’s service. God chose that particular evening to reveal to me that He had a job for me to do. I had no idea what that job would entail; I was scared to death God was going to ship me off to some far-flung corner of the globe where there was no TV or—God forbid—Chick-fil-A. I shouldn’t have worried; the Lord knows I wouldn’t be particularly good in that sort of place. He had my path already carved; my destination entered into His GPS…

From 1910—when the first full-time Gospel quartet was formed—until the late 1950s, the industry was dominated by male quartets with a sprinkling of mixed groups such as The Chuck Wagon Gang, The Speer Family, The Weatherfords, and The LeFevres. The first major male trio was organized in 1957—and they came on like gangbusters. They were The Sons Of Song, a dynamic trio made up of tenor Calvin Newton, pianist and lead singer Bob Robinson, and baritone Don Butler. They could rip your heart out with their emotional style of singing. The Sons lasted until the mid-1960s, but they did make a brief comeback in the early 1990s. Next came a trio, sort of a revival of the famed Rangers Quartet of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s. The trio was called The Rangers…

The Recipe For Reducing Stress

The bills are all due. The family is going through some major drama. The news on the TV and the radio makes it feel like the world is falling apart. The refrigerator is on the brink of breaking down. Your health isn’t what it used to be. Stress has moved into the house and won’t get off the couch. Your mama told you there would be days like these, and, boy, was she right. With all of the gains in medicine, technology, and “enlightenment,” you’d think we would not have anything to worry about, and yet, people seem to be more anxious than ever. Isn’t there some sort of way that we can find comfort and peace in these tumultuous times? Of course there is. Come unto me, all ye that labour and…

The Road to Reopening

For the last few months, our spotlight has been focused on the SGMA Hall of Fame Class of 2022 inductees. The same week of our inductions, we also celebrated the Grand Opening of our new SGMA Hall of Fame Museum. Let’s look back to the path that led to that historic day. After months of praying over potential sites, an agreement was reached in December 2021, with the Biblical Times Theater in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, to house the new museum there. The public announcement and contract signing was made inside their theater. Our museum would become a part of the museum complex, which included The Shroud of Turin and Christus Gardens Encore. The build-out started shortly thereafter and would present us with several challenges. After the first museum closed, the only source…

The Road to Reopening

GODLY LIVING IN AN UNGODLY AGE

Our Founding Fathers created a governing framework based upon biblical principles. Slowly, we have changed from “one nation under God” to a group of people who no longer want Him to be involved. Tragically, we’ve become, in numerous ways, an ungodly nation: many are driven by materialism and power; immorality and rebellion are prevalent; empty philosophy and false doctrine are widely acceptable. Underlying it all is a vocal decision to take God out of the nation’s “official business.” Yet even in an unbelieving society, people can, as individuals, follow Jesus. But the world will continually disseminate faulty teachings, so believers must be discerning. Otherwise, erroneous messages can lead Christians to compromise their convictions. Then affections and priorities may change. Don’t let the world’s clamor make the Spirit’s voice less audible. Without His…

GODLY LIVING IN AN UNGODLY AGE

PASSING THE BUCK OR STOPPING IT?

The phrase “passing the buck” means transferring responsibility or blame to another person. The phrase got started back in the second half of the 19th century, when people played a lot of poker. They passed a knife with a buckhorn handle from person to person to determine who would be the next dealer. When someone didn’t want the responsibility of dealing or the blame for dealing a bad hand they would “pass the buck” (the knife) to the next person. Hence the term “passing the buck” came to be known as not wanting the responsibility or blame. PASSING THE BUCK IS AS OLD AS HUMANITY The art of passing the buck began with Adam and Eve. They were content, but as soon as they sinned, their first response was to pass the…

PASSING THE BUCK OR STOPPING IT?

This month, we have the opportunity to visit with one of the great lead singers of Southern Gospel music, Dale Shipley. Many of you probably remember Dale from his days with Perfect Heart, but today, Dale sings with the quartet known as Jordan’s Bridge. We hope you enjoy what Dale has to say … Dale, tell us about the church you and your wife attend. My wife and I attend Crossroads Baptist Church in Eads, Tennessee, which is right outside of the Memphis area. Our pastor is Rob Mullins—we’ve known Brother Rob since the early 1990s as he was our son’s Sunday School teacher—and our Minister of Music is Jim Whitmire. Many of you will remember Jim from his days at Bellevue Baptist Church with Adrian Rodgers. In addition to the ministerial staff,…

1 BESIDES SINGING, WHAT IS YOUR TRUE PASSION IN LIFE? My true passion in life is leading people to Christ. Also, I genuinely love people and it brings me so much joy when the Lord opens an opportunity for me to be an encouragement to someone. 2 WHAT IS AT THE TOP OF YOUR “BUCKET LIST?” To literally reach the world for Jesus Christ. 3 IF YOU COULD WRITE A LETTER TO YOUR “18-YEAR-OLD SELF,” WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? Dear Karen, I’m still very silly and “blonde” at times, but I’m a lot more mature now, and not as naïve. I still love life and have a joyful spirit, and I never would have dreamed that the Lord would have blessed me like He has over the years. I have realized that the perseverance, passion,…

Be Careful What You Ask For

I’m at the point in life where I can look back across my years and see how God has used others to bless His children. In my own life, I easily see there were plenty of people God sent my way—because He knew I was going to need all the help I could get. Since he and I share the same birthday (month and day, not year!) I'll use Danny Jones as an example. I've known him since he was a kid—and that means however old he was when I met him, I was exactly 30 years older. He was a disc jockey in Georgia at the time and The Dixie Melody Boys stopped by to do a radio interview with him. I've watched him work in radio, record companies, and…

Be Careful What You Ask For

Presley Family Reaches Out To The Blackwood Brothers When Gladys Presley, the mother of Elvis Presley, passed away in 1958, The Blackwood Brothers of that day were honored to be asked by Elvis and his father, Vernon, to sing at her funeral. When Elvis passed away in 1977, James Blackwood was asked to sing at that funeral. This came full circle in January 2023. After the untimely death of Lisa Marie Presley, the daughter of Elvis and Priscilla Presley, on January 12, 2023, the Presley family reached out to The Blackwood Brothers Quartet, asking them to sing at Lisa Marie's funeral on Sunday, January 22, 2023. The funeral took place at Graceland, the home of Elvis, in Memphis, Tennessee. The Blackwood Brothers sang “How Great Thou Art” and “Sweet, Sweet Spirit.” Billy Blackwood, owner…

The older I get, the more I have come to like raisins in baked goods. I made my first fruitcake over Christmas, and it had lots of raisins in it. I add them to my oatmeal in the mornings and I find myself ordering Raisin Pie instead of Chocolate Cream Pie at a restaurant! So, naturally, I had to try the Raisin Bars that I remember being on the dessert table at potlucks in my childhood. I like making pans of bars, because there is plenty to divide and share with loved ones! RAISIN BARS Bars • 1 cup raisins• Water• 1 cup butter• 1 ½ cups sugar• 2 eggs, beaten• 2 ½ cups flour• 1 tsp. baking soda• ½ tsp. salt• 1 tsp. cinnamon Frosting: • ¼ cup butter• ½ cup brown sugar• 4 tbsp.…

Psalm 139:14 says that we are “fearfully and wonderfully made.” In fact, we are so wonderfully made that we will last forever—at least our spirits will. Unfortunately, what we tend to think is that our bodies will live forever, and so we spend and overspend on cosmetics, diets, clothes, fitness programs, and then spend time on self-pampering. But how much energy do we put into the part of us that is really worth improving? How much time do we spend on our spirit? Do we spend as much time each day praying as we do spraying or eating? Millions of us would have to answer “no” to that question. Mankind has become so bent on consumerism, materialism, and greed that our western world culture could possibly be called modern paganism. Our culture…

March is a month of new beginnings. On March 20 we observe the Vernal Equinox, the official first day of Spring. As I began to think about the concept of new beginnings, I thought of how it is woven into nature, into scripture and into the very fabric of our lives. In nature God ordained that every 24 hours a new day would dawn, and we would begin again the experience of interacting with our world, with people and, most importantly, with God. God ordered our world and our lives in such a way that we begin again every morning the task of discovering what God wants to reveal to us, every day an adventure. In scripture God reveals this cycle as found in the book of Lamentations 3:22 & 23; Through…

Sitting in the airport last week, some fellow travelers and I swapped stories about flying. They were thrilling stories of electrical storms and mechanical failures. As I boarded the plane, I thought about how no one really talks about the majority of all flights being calm. I took my seat, and the captain made an announcement I’ve heard so many times before. “There may be a few bumps on takeoff, and they tell us there may be more as we're landing in Omaha, but the rest of the flight should be smooth once we reach our cruising altitude. Keep your seatbelts fastened, just in case we experience any unexpected rough air.” Upon takeoff, our seasoned captain wisely avoided a few clouds, especially the cumulonimbus clouds. Trust me, there are no cherubs playing…

"Daddy" Paul Vinson

I want to tell you about one of the finest Christian men ever associated with Gospel music. His name is Paul Vinson, but his friends and family knew him as “Daddy Paul.” He was my grandfather, my best buddy, and my hero. Daddy Paul was a “once-in-a-lifetime” personality; always the life of the party when he walked into a room. He loved giving people a good laugh or a smile. He served our country in the Marines, and was a medic in the Korean War. When he returned home from Korea, he started working as an engineer for the Illinois Central Railroad, from which he later retired. After rolling down the rails during the week, he started singing lead with The Bibletones Quartet of Gulfport, Mississippi. He quickly became a favorite…

Truthseekers Homecoming 2023

A “Godwink” is defined as an event or personal experience, often identified as coincidence, so astonishing that it is seen as a sign of divine intervention, especially when perceived as the answer to a prayer. Though it isn’t a biblical term, the concept of it is very scriptural. I experienced a “Godwink” on January 5, 2023, but in order to share that experience with you, I have to share a lot of other “stuff” first. If you recall, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day both fell on a Sunday this season. During that week between the two holidays, I began to experience a fever and body aches. During the week leading up to the New Year’s Day holiday weekend, the fever and body ache continued to escalate, so I went to a…

A long-time fan favorite sits in the Conversation chair this month. And like most of our previous chats, I caught up with Ivan Parker as he was in his pick-up truck, darting here and there as he ran errands around Nashville, Tennessee. Anyone who truly knows Ivan knows that what you see is exactly what you get, and he and I never fail to take an opportunity to rib each other—you’ll see what I mean shortly! Enjoy this visit with a Gospel music legend … Danny Jones (DJ): Ivan, why is it most of our conversations take place when you’re in your truck? Ivan Parker (IP): I think it’s because I get nervous every time you call! If I’m in my truck, I can always claim “you’re breaking up … I can’t hear…

McKamey Legacy - Walking Their Own Path

September 20, 2018, was a day McKameys fans had long dreaded. That was the day it was announced that the iconic, award-winning group would be retiring from full-time music ministry. The farewell tour lasted just over a year, and on November 23, 2019, The McKameys took their final bows at the Civic Auditorium in Knoxville, Tennessee. At the time, none of the group members had plans to continue touring in other capacities. However, God had other plans, and in 2020, McKamey Legacy was born. This family trio, made up of longtime McKameys members Connie, Roger, and Eli Fortner, has successfully managed to create a group that not only pays homage to their family’s musical roots, but also showcases their own, unique style as well. It has not taken long for fans to…

Primitive Quartet Farewell Concert

What began on a 1973 fishing trip in the mountains of North Carolina settles into well-earned retirement on Saturday, May 20, 2023. Make your plans now to be at the beautiful Lakeway Performing Arts Center in White Pines, Tennessee, as The Primitive Quartet performs one last time. “I’ve had the incredible opportunity to work with the men of The Primitive Quartet for most of the group’s existence,” says Singing News Vice President Danny Jones. “I’ve introduced the group on stages of all types in at least 20 different states and I’ve watched time and time again as the sincerity of these men has touched the hearts of thousands of people.” Since the group’s beginning, The Primitive Quartet has relied upon traditional acoustic instruments to provide its musical foundation. As a result, the…

Primitive Quartet Farewell Concert

What happens when you take a leading “father” of the modern worship music movement, Clint Brown, and add two of the most incredible vocalists and worship leaders, Seth J. Elbe, and Jody Braselton, and you put all three together writing and singing, while sharing their heart? You get an amazing trio called Southbound! It was just a couple of years ago that Daywind Records received a demo of the group, Southbound. From the minute the record label heard the anointed music—which they immediately branded, “Gospel Grit,” they knew they wanted to be a part of the group’s journey. Clint, Jody, and Seth all grew up in church, and they were raised with a steadfast love and respect for Southern Gospel music. They lived and breathed the music of such great artists and songwriters as…

Heart 2 Heart - Amen

AMEN HEART 2 HEART Family Music Group Amen from Heart 2 Heart is a new CD that features a variety of Gospel music flavors, and includes such great writers as Kenna Turner West, Gerald Crabb, Rachel McCutcheon, and many more. Though each song is unique in its own right, many follow a theme of God’s love and care through life's trials. Let’s dive in … Beginning with a soothing rhythm, the lyrics in “Love Comes Down,” connect how our praise opens our hearts into a posture of receiving God’s love. Picking up the beat, “Going With Grace” speaks of how we grow in grace, no matter what the circumstances surrounding us may be. Following, “God Of Abraham” comes from the pen of Gerald Crabb and Rachel McCutcheon and reminds us that God…

Tribute Quartet - Always Grace

ALWAYS GRACE TRIBUTE QUARTET Daywind Records If you thought Tribute Quartet’s previous release, Living The Stories, hit it out of the park, wait until you hear Always Grace. With ten new songs that fit Tribute Quartet perfectly and a theme that’s found not just in the title, but in every song, this is a CD you’re going to be talking about for a long time. The first track kicks off with a word for the weary believer, “We have come too far to turn back now …” Add pep to the beat, and you have the perfect tune to initiate what this CD is all about—Grace. In “Halfway Up The Mountain,” it’s grace to keep going, and in the following songs you see grace for every situation. Easily spotted in “Nobody’s Too Broken,”…

Meet Bandit, Charlie and Dusty

I don’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have at least one pet; most of the time, there were multiple mouths to feed! Everything from dogs, cats, birds, gerbils, rabbits, ducks, guinea hens, turtles, and fish. It was a love my mama instilled in us to care for animals, so when Jeff and I married, one of our first wedding gifts was a puppy. Thankfully, Jeff loved animals as much as I do! We’ve loved and nurtured many pets since, but our furry and feathered friends now are Bandit, Charlie, and Dusty. Bandit is our Malitpoo who travels with us everywhere we go. He joined our family five years ago. Charlie is Maura’s Green Cheeked Conure she received for her birthday six years ago. Charlie also travels with…

Remembering Jerry Kirksey

Gerald Walter Kirksey (Jerry) of Boone, North Carolina, went home to be with the Lord on January 25, 2023, at the age of 82. He had been in declining health for several years. Jerry was preceded in death by his wife of 47 years, Carolyn, who passed away in 2015. Born in Panama City, Florida, on June 13, 1940, Jerry and his family returned to his parents’ hometown of Pensacola following World War II. After graduating with the Pensacola High School Class of 1958, Jerry began working in radio, including time at WNVY and WCOA in Pensacola as well as WTHR in Panama City. In 1960, Jerry began working with The Florida Boys as the quartet’s promotional director and office manager. This led to his work with J.G. Whitfield. Jerry assisted Mr.…

Women's History Month

As heard on Singing News Radio. We are so grateful to the strong women of faith who have blessed us throughout the years. It’s so encouraging to read of the inspirational women in scripture who persevered, even in the face of adversity. The stories of women such as Deborah, Hannah, Mary Elizabeth, Anna, Esther, Ruth, and so many more who were marginalized in their own societies and cultures, but God had big plans for them. Even some of the nameless women in the Bible, like Samson’s mother, Namaan’s slave girl, the woman at the well, and more who God used in amazing ways to achieve His purposes. Here are some selected songs highlighting some of our favorite women in Bluegrass and Country Gospel … “Homecoming”……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ……….. ………..…

Faith Country: Steve Bridgmon

In 2020, when the pandemic had caused loss of health, employment, education, finance, business, and more, Steve Bridgmon suffered the devastating loss of both his sister and his father within the same week. What did Steve do to cope with such tremendous loss? He expanded his singing ministry as a soloist—and he wrote a book about his life, called Three Things I Need From You. “I wrote my memoir thinking no one would really care about my story,” shares Steve. “It has been interesting to hear people tell me, ‘I’m not really a reader, but I read your book because I love your music.’” As a young boy in Owensboro, Kentucky, Steve had many struggles including a broken home, low income, poor health, shyness, and low self-esteem. His need for validation was…
