-----------May 5, 2005Rex Nelon Biography Nelon, Rex Lloyd (January 19, 1932 - 2000) Rex Nelon served in the Marine Corps in the early 1950s. After his discharge, he sang with several part time groups around Asheville, North Carolina. His first full time position was with Homeland Harmony Quartet in 1955. In 1957, Rex joined the LeFevres in a dual role as singer and guitarist. He continued with the group for the next 20 years and ultimately became the group owner. When Eva Mae LeFevre retired from the group in 1977, Nelon, whose daughter Kelly was already singing with the LeFevres, changed the group name to the Rex Nelon Singers. The Nelons became a trend setting group in the 1980s, often introducing songs that would be classified as “middle of the road” such as “Oh, For A Thousand Tongues To Sing” and “Don’t Give Up.” After turning the group over to Kelly in the mid-1990s, Rex Nelon continued to appear regularly on the Gaither Homecoming videos. He was in London, England at a taping session with the Gaithers when he passed away in 2000. The SGMA Hall Of Fame inducted Rex Nelon in 1999.
