The Gospel Voices traveled from Greenville to Canada, Texas, Florida, Ohio, Michigan, Chicago, Nashville, Arkansas, and many other states and towns, but like all quartet groups back then, the groups had to establish themselves in their hometowns, and neighborhoods. They did not have the added equipment that artists are so blessed to have today, they had a lead, rhythm, and bass guitar, plus the drums to complete their sound. Of course they had to get their swag on, and leave a mark on the quartet trail--------------- The Hill Boy. http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/7922182
