Kingsmen to appear at Pineview Baptist

The Kingsmen will be in Thomasville July 28.
If there's one group whose name conjures up images of pure, passionate, solid, and true music, it's The Kingsmen. They've carried listeners away on a wild ride since the conception of the group in 1956. With countless records and compilations sold, Grammy nominations, four Dove Awards and an induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame-class of 2000, this certainly solidifies The Kingsmen as gospel musics most predominate Quartet. And that momentum has never stopped as the group helps define the southern gospel genre for a whole new generation of music lovers, perhaps more so than any other group.

The southern gospel group will be in concert at Pineview Baptist Church in Thomasville on Saturday, July 28, at 6 p.m. Tickets are on sale now through the church office or at The Book Nook and The Kloset in Thomasville. The church is located on Highway 43 South near radio station WJDB.

The tickets cost $10 each. For more information on purchasing them call the church office at 334-636-2405 or Bonnie Parten at 334-636-4017.

How do the Kingsmen maintain their popularity over the years?

"The key is to never lose site of what we are working towards" says Ray Reese, Kingsmen manager and bass singer. "We tour year in and year out to spread our music to people across the country and our music has a message, the message of Christ, and every night we work to bring the gospel to the people, weather it is indoors, outdoors, in a coliseum, church, or high school on CD, video or TV, our goal is to see people saved through Christ."

There aren't too many groups today who can boast the kind of far-reaching legacy that comes with a 50-year exploding career as one of southern gospel music's most influential pioneering artists. The Kingsmen emerged in the 1950s with its own distinct stye, unleashing music that would solidify them as pioneers in the southern gospel music field, and they continue to carry the legacy on today.
