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! |
 |
UPDATE: BOB says that "The
Music Men" is now being reprinted,
and we will offer it for sale in the website as soon as possible.
CHECK THE NEWS PAGE FOR UPDATES. |
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. These are articles & books that we do know about. If
you know of others, such as the ones published in the now defunct "GOOD NEWS"
magazine, (The original SGMA monthly publication, please email the information to RHutchins1@aol.com |
|
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. |
PLEASE INCLUDE: WHICH PUBLICATION, THE YEAR,
AND WHERE WE CAN FIND A COPY. |
