In the world of Gospel Music, the Blackwood Brothers remain unique--legends among their peers, successors and fans alike. No other Christian performers have advanced the gospel music cause more daringly or progressively than the Blackwood Brothers.
Today's thriving Christian music industry, gospel-concert circuit and the GMA are living legacies of their dedicated, enthusiastic, ground breaking vision and persevering hard work and success.
Cemmenced in 1934 with James, the celebrated name of the Blackwood Brothers Quartet continued into the new millenium under the shrewd leadership of Cecil Stamps Blackwood.
An early Sunday School buddy of Elvis Presley, Cecil took on the mantle of baritone when his brother R. W. Blackwood perished in a tragic aircrash in 1954.
This inspiring story reads, amazingly at times, as if it were fiction. It is a human tale full of passionate and heart-warming sentiment, spiritual idealism and "blood, sweat and tears!"
