The Homeland Harmony Quartet
- The Homeland Harmony Quartet
The Homeland Harmony Quartet were an American gospel group founded in 1935.
The original lineup of the quartet was Otis McCoy, Doyle Blackwood, Fred C. Maples, and B.C. Robinson. The group had lasting ties to the Church of God and went through more than fifty line-up changes in a career that spanned thirty years.
In 1943, tenor Connor Hall joined the quartet. He would remain with the group until his death in 1992. Other notables to sing with the group include basses Big Jim Waits and Johnny Atkinson, Lee Roy Abernathy and baritone James McCoy. The line-up of Hall, Abernathy, J. McCoy, Shorty Bradford, and A.D.Soward that formed in 1947 is widely considered to have been a seminal influence on both pop and further gospel musical stylings.
