THE MUSIC MEN
BOB TERRELL'S look at the world of  SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC.

Terrell is a reporter emeritus for the
ASHEVILLE CITIZEN TIMES; a close friend of DR. BILLY GRAHAM and the Graham family; and he is the author of nearly 20 books ranging from books about Dr. Graham's ministry - through
"J D SUMNER; GOSPEL MUSIC IS MY LIFE"

"THE MUSIC MEN" is a word tour of SOUTHERN GOSPEL MUSIC history beginning with the JAMES D VAUGHN ERA (just after the American Civil War) through the GOLDEN AGE OF QUARTETS.
Bob first wrote about THE INSPIRATIONS in this book in a chapter titled
"IT AIN'T PEANUTS."
He has now completed a book totally about
THE INSPIRATIONS FIRST 35 WONDERFUL YEARS!

and we will offer it for sale in the website as soon as possible.

    NOTE: The Inspirations have been traveling and singing for over 41 years, so we really don't always remember all the details like: DATES, YEARS, ETC.

If you know of books that contain references to the group,
that information would be very helpful, as well.
We would be forever grateful if you would share that info with us.
SPECIAL THANKS TO HELEN HICE AND RAY MORGAN, BOTH OF MARIETTA, GEORGIA, FOR THEIR WONDERFUL CONTRIBUTIONS IN OUR SEARCH.
