2017 Survey: Final Voting Round

by | Aug 16, 2017 | History, Polls-Games-Contests

What was the Most Significant Personnel Change in Southern Gospel music’s history?

We started with 36 nominations. After two rounds of voting, only 4 remain. It’s time to pick the winner!

Voting Rules: You MUST submit a total of TWO votes. Your vote will NOT be counted if you submit more or less than two votes. Submit only one comment with your votes listed on the first line of that comment.

Voting ends at midnight (EDT) on Tuesday, August 22. In the event of a tie, we will have a run-off.

Remember to take into account which group member additions made the greatest impact on the entire Southern Gospel music industry, not merely the group they joined!

1. 1963 – Vestal Freeman Goodman joins the Happy Goodmans
2. 1948 – Jake Hess joins the Statesmen
3. 1964 – George Younce joins the Cathedrals
4. 1965 – Ed O’Neal joins the Dixie Melody Boys

    I don’t think you can overstate the importance of Ed O’Neal and the role he has played in introducing so many artists to the world of professional southern gospel singing.
