Dwight Brock Biography

Dwight Moody Brock
(1907-1988)

Dwight Brock established the standard for the traditional male quartet lineup . . . four singers plus a piano player. He is credited with being one of the first to incorporated piano “turnarounds” between verses. Brock was a member of the first gospel quartet to record on a major record label . . . the Stamps All-Star Quartet which recorded on RCA Victor. Brock played rhythm piano with various Stamps quartets in the 1920s and 1930s, and ultimately became the President of the Stamps-Baxter Music Company.


He also was there when the Stamps first recorded “Give The World A Smile,” a song J. D. Sumner would revive years later when he began to manage the Stamps Quartet. Brock also performed with the Vaughan Radio Quartet. His sister Lena became the matriarch of the legendary Speer family.

Brock was inducted into the Southern Gospel Piano Roll of Honor in 1996, and into the SGMA Hall Of Fame in 2003.
