Thanks Tony, I noticed you had Better In Person in your collection...is that a CD?

Here are my Kingsmen CD's that I have:
1. Missing People
...
38. America's Favorite Hymns

Carolina Boys:
1. Ready
2. Good News


That's an amazing collection, Josh, and has been very helpful in finding albums I need to secure. I've managed to find & order about a dozen so far from your list and will be on the prowl for others. Kudos.

I see you have The Kingsmen LIVE At The University Of Alabama. I desperately want that one because it has "When Crossing Time Shall Come" featuring the incredible Ernie Phillips, but there's something about paying $25 for a used vinyl album even if it is "near mint" that troubles me. [8|]

Perhaps since you are close to Ray, you could put a bug in his ear to put the Kingsmen albums that are out of print up on Amazon's Digital Downloads. There's no sense letting the scalpers reaping all the rewards that belong rightfully to the Kingsmen. And, perhaps, the next Kingsmen compilation could take a look at including that Crossing Time track which so many people like you appreciate.

Cheers,
Tony

That's right David, I wonder if Greg Fox has any of the masters of the old live projects and old projects. I think I might email Greg and see if He does and see if maybe He can get Horizon to release the "rare" and "old" live projects and "old" projects onto CD

Tony the only problem there is Ray, and or the Kingsmen do not own all the Masters of those old projects. Most likely Benson/ Riversong owns the Masters of those projects , so it would be up to them to release the music, and they would get the profits.



billbaileybfafan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/3/2009 9:33:28 PM)

To me it makes zero sense for these old albums and videos to not be released on CD and DVD. With a group like the Kingsmen that still have a great following, and with the history of the group, whoever owns the masters to the albums could make a killing off of them. I really don't think the expense would be that much either considering there would be no "recording" going on, only transferring it to another format.
Gold City did a collection called "The Heritage Collection" that had 2 volumes and a total of 6 old Gold City videos on DVD. I have this and it's great. The Kingsmen should really do something like this.
Go back and put some of those old great live videos on DVD for future generations to enjoy.

I have searched high and low trying to find the album. I'm thinking it was on cassette. I've been through my CDs 3x and I only have a dozen LPs to search but my cassette collection is all over the place and not well organized. The good news is that I did find my missing Won By One -Bold & Unashamed CD and the Kingsmen - I Will CD and Mark Trammell Trio - Supply CD that I needed to re-rip to a higher bitrate to better pick up Jerry & Eric's tenor parts.



DJSfromCleveland -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/5/2009 10:45:53 AM)

I may be wrong, but i'm pretty sure that "Better In Person" was not on CD , but only on cassette and Album.



gloriajean61 -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/13/2009 8:59:23 PM)

I would like to know how I can locate the song , I Can't Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand. Foxy sang the lead on this. Who wrote this song? Was this a Squire Parsons song?



CollingsworthFan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/13/2009 10:29:07 PM)

"I Can't Even Walk" is on the Kingsmen's 40th Anniversary cd released in 1996. The song is on their 1975 album, "24 Karat Gospel." Squire Parsons didn't write that song; Colbert & Joyce Croft did. If I remember right, the song had a little more of an edge in popularity by Charles Johnson & the Revivers.



kingsman -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/14/2009 12:35:49 AM)

I finally got around to listening to The Kingsmen 30 Great Gospel Songs CD.

Can anyone tell me if I'm hearing Chris Collins on tenor?



gloriajean61 -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/14/2009 7:21:51 AM)

Thanks for rely to my post on the song, I Can't Even Walk Without You Holding My Hand. I had forgotten about the song until I heard it sung at a memorial service last night.

Yes, those 3 cassette projects included on that set are all with Chris Collins on tenor.



kingsman -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/14/2009 11:24:12 PM)

You can see why the Kingsmen hired him. I wish more artists archived their albums when they go out of print. I particularly like All I Know; God Still Answers Prayer; Hide Me Rock Of Ages; and It's Called Love.

What makes even less sense to me is the failure of record labels to make their old CDs available for download.

Of course, many have, but there still seems to be interest in many old recordings particularly from the 1980s.



kingsman -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/17/2009 2:17:17 PM)

Amen. I hope the labels are listening. More is better. I have found many treasures on Amazon's MP3 downloads.

I just wonder if the labels are getting all the money or are they sharing the proceeds with the artists?

And, can indie artists, who own the rights to their music, add their music to the Amazon MP3 download site?

If so, why don't more do it?

Man, I really miss Chris Collins singing tenor for the Kingsmen...He was one of my all time favorites.



kingsman -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/17/2009 10:34:12 PM)

Seems like the Kingsmen have always had great tenors. Harold Reed is doing a great job for them now.

Tim Surrett was a lead singer who was comfortable with the high notes but Chris was a smooth tenor who could soar way above him. The question is, where is Chris Collins working nowadays?



DJSfromCleveland -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/18/2009 9:08:56 AM)

According to his facebook page, it says his emloyer is Hemphill Brothers Coach Co. since April of 2009.

He and his wife Audra were singing under the name Providence. I don't know if they are still traveling around or not. I have an album of theirs and it is really good. It's a more contemporary gospel sound.
They used to have songs on their myspace from that album. The album title is "One".
I really miss Chris. I think he was one of the very best the Kingsmen have ever had. No offense to Harold, Jeremy, Derrick, Shep or anyone else, but Chris and Jerry are IMO, the best tenors the Kingsmen have ever had. I have recently been listening to "You're Not Alone" and it's quite possibly one of the finest recordings the Kingsmen have ever made. I think it and "Georgia Live" don't get enough credit. Chris' version of Little Is Much, along with his testimony with it is one of the top 2 or 3 Kingsmen moments for me, along with Ray's "mess up" in the Chatanooga Live version of "The Old Ship of Zion"

Yea, i agree with Chris, he was a fantastic tenor singer. Albums he was on, You're Not Alone, Georgia Live, New Life, Ridin' High, Kings Gold 3 and King's Gold 4, Live at the Alabama Theatre, A Kingsmen Christmas, and some others. I really love him singing "New Life", and "You're Not Alone" and "Little is Much".



gloriajean61 -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/20/2009 7:08:58 PM)

The best Kingsmen tenors were: Johnny Parrack, Ernie Phillips and Shep. I really like Harold Reed. His song "God Saw The Cross" on their new is
great. He has really improved lately.

Totally agree. "Little is Much" and "You're Not Alone" are probably his 2 best numbers....although the live version of "I Stand Upon The Rock of Ages" is super. I don't care much for the album version of that one though. It seems dead compared to the video version, and the live concert version. I remember seeing The Kingsmen at the 96 Tennessee Valley Fair. That was the only song off of the, then unreleased "Beyond The Clouds" album they did that night. They did it at the very end, and man it rocked the house!!!!!



gloriajean61 -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/24/2009 4:17:21 PM)

Glad to hear none of the boys were injured in the bus wreck. I will be remembering the lady who hit them in prayer. Her name isn't important because God knows who she is.

Looking forward to seeing you in Central on Dec 5th.



RogerBennett_Fan -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/28/2009 1:21:49 PM)

I saw the news and the picture of the "crashed" part of the bus on their website - thankful that none of the Kingsmen were hurt. Will be praying for the lady who hit them. [:)]



servants -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (11/28/2009 5:19:59 PM)

I'm glad no one was hurt. I hope and pray the Lady that hit them will be ok and something good will come out of it.



servants -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (12/20/2009 7:25:07 PM)

Does anyone else like the song Mountian Of Grace ? It is a powerful song.



JimC -> RE: The Kingsmen Thread (12/21/2009 1:02:34 PM)

I see the Kingsmen have hired one of the best drivers on the road.
Ed Martin, who most recently drove for Gold City, will start with the Kingsmen on Dec 31.
