Klaudt Indian Family

"If only we could think of some gimmick to set ourselves apart from all the other Gospel groups..."

Sam Nix

"Dy-no-mite!"

The Hinsons

"On the road!" That's the "punniest" thing I've seen all day.

But seriously...this was way before Photoshop. These jokers must've had a lot of pull to be able to get the interstate shut down for a photo shoot. To wheel a piano out onto the middle of a freeway? Are you kidding me?!

Marcy Tigner

Nobody wanted to hear an entire album of trombone music. So she added harp, violin and pipe organ. Good times, good times!

Senn Family

Look! We have a motor home!

Albert R. Skaggs and the Silence Sisters

Just caption amongst yourselves.

Palmetto State

"When It Pours, God REIGNS"...get it? So punny I forgot to laugh...

Royale Heirs Quartet.

"Looking for the Lord." Also looking for even a tiny shred of fashion sense.

Tupelo Children's Mansion

Um...that's not Jesus' house. That's the Governor's Mansion in Mississippi.

Hovie Lister & The Statesmen

"Old time favorites of thousands." "They know how to sing and do it!" 

I hope the guy who created this poster was able to find a new line of work.

Rev. Norman Burns presents...

For Pentecostal children only. Baptist and Methodist kids...listen at your own risk.

Paul Mickelson

Wait...were they tiny teenagers? Or was he a giant organist?

In any event, I'm sure the "youth" loved hearing Paul play "You May Have the Joy-Bells" and "He's the One I Love in the Morning"...on an organ.

Priscilla McDonald

When she wasn't singing, Priscilla was an extra in several scenes on Little House on the Prairie. She helped to popularize the Hornet's Nest hairdo in the early 1970s.


[Later married Rev. Carroll McGruder of The McGruders.] 

Blackwood Brothers

Don't you miss the days when old white guys could have magnificent afros?

Jimmy Jones & the Good News Singers

...hair inspired by Farrah Fawcett Majors.

Marvin & Lola Abbott

Looks like somebody's been playing with the grand-kids' Spirograph set...

Sounds of Pentecost

I'm not sure, but I think they're trying to tell us that they're Pentecostal.

Zane Isaacson

Zane is definitely "rapture ready" with that snazzy new keyboard scarf!

Three In One

Awkward.

The Denny Family

Somebody needs to tell those two boys down front to "be of good cheer." They look like they just killed their grandfather and buried him out behind the barn...

Billie Smith

"Songs for NOW!" Dress and hairdo from the 18th century.

Palmetto State

Just make up your own caption. I can't even...

The Statesmen Quartet

Remember when Jake Hess got tazed right in the middle of "Get Away Jordan"? Good times, good times...

Retha, Ricky & DeWanna

Nominee for Creepy Album Cover of the Year...

Unknown Group

Photographer: "I'm going to take some candid shots during your set, you guys. Whatever you do, DO NOT look directly into the camera..."

The Sons of Song

I bet you can't say "The Sons of Song Sing" ten times really fast...

The Thrasher Brothers

Oak Ridge Boys lite? The guy on the far right didn't get the memo and showed up at the photo shoot in his favorite Chess King/Merry Go Round get-up...
