About the Kingsmen Quartet
The year was 1956, when a group of brothers in western North Carolina joined together in forming the Kingsmen Quartet. This team of young men likely had no idea what they were beginning. By the early 1970s, the Kingsmen had ascended to the peak of the gospel music industry with their Dove Award-winning record, “Big and Live.” Since then, the momentum has never stopped.
Just since 2015, the quartet has placed six more songs atop the Southern gospel radio charts, received two more GMA Dove Award nominations, as well as a number one album on the Billboard Chart.
In 2000 they were inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, the Christian Music Hall of Fame in 2008, and nine of the quartet’s prestigious alumni are members of the Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
Among their extensive list of hits include some of gospel music’s most legendary classics — songs like “Saints Will Rise,” “The Judgment,” “Glory Road,” “Look for Me at Jesus’ Feet,” “Is That the Old Ship of Zion,” “He’s All I Need,” “The Next Cloud,” “I Can’t Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand,” “Battle Cry,” and “When God Ran.”
