-----------June 13, 2005Ben Speer Biography Speer, Ben Lacy Speer (1930 - ) Ben Speer was born in Double Springs, AL in 1930 and began performing with his family group at the age of two. The youngest of the four Speer siblings, Ben eventually made “The King Is Coming” his signature song. He also arranged music for the group and developed a reputation as a comic emcee for the group. Ben retired from the Speer Family in 1992, but continued to appear with them at select dates until the group itself retired in the late 1990s. The Speers still appear from time to time on reunion events. In addition to performing, Ben Speer established the Ben Speer Music Company in 1946, the first major publisher of sheet music. In more recent years, he has been active as a record producer in the Southern Gospel music industry, most notably for the Homeland label and the Gaither Homecoming videos where he’s also frequently a featured performer and functions as Gaither’s music director. In addition to artist projects, Speer has produced numerous accompaniment tracks for Homeland’s EZ Key series and sang with the Homeland Quartet alongside label owner Bill Traylor. Speer has also operated the Ben Speer’s Stamps-Baxter School Of Music, a two-week summer program on the campus of Trivecca Nazarene University, for a number of years.
