Gospel Harmony Boys Biography

Gospel Harmony Boys (1952-present)
(based on info contributed by: Dean Adkins)

The Gospel Harmony Boys were organized as a trio in 1952 by lead singer Harold Lane. He was joined initially on vocals by Leonard Adams at tenor and John Embry at baritone. (Lane would leave the GHB in the mid-1960s to join the Speer Family, replacing Dad Speer.)

The GHB have had a number of significant accomplishments in their 50 plus year history. They were one of the first groups to apppear on live network TV when they were guests of Dave Garroway on NBC's "Today Show". The group hosted a weekly television show for 17 years that was viewed by over a million fans in West Virginia, Ohio and Kentucky. The state of West Virginia honored the GHB by recognizing them as "West Virginia's Official Ambassadors." The group is also a recipient of the Distinguished West Virginian Award.

It appeared the Gospel Harmony Boys history would end at an even 50 years when the group retired in 2002. In the Fall of 2004, though, former GHB members Calvin Thompson and Clacy Williams decided to revive the name. Rusty Ballinger and Dale Chambers joined Calvin and Clacy to form the current group.
