The O'Neal Twins - A Short History
Loading...
Uploaded by ArtistIncorporated on Nov 4, 2008
Mr. O'Neal and his late brother, Edward Vazon O'Neal Jr., began singing gospel at age 12. In 1969, the O'Neals were voted the "World's Greatest Gospel Duo'' by the National Association of Television and Radio Artists. Their duet "Jesus Dropped the Charges'' won them national acclaim in the movie "Say Amen, Somebody'' — a documentary on gospel music pioneer Willa Mae Ford Smith.
In 2004, the duo were inducted into the International Gospel Music Hall of Fame alongside CeCe Winans, Donnie McClurkin and other gospel figures. The duo recorded nearly two dozen albums, including some for Leon Russell's record label.
During the 1950s, the O'Neal brothers performed in churches around St. Louis. By 1960, they were performing outside the area.They performed nationally at Carnegie Hall, Madison Square Garden and the Kennedy Center, and locally at the Fox Theatre, American Theatre, Powell Symphony Hall, Kiel Auditorium and Westport Playhouse.

If you appreciate this video, then go to "Say Amen, Somebody." It tells the story of Gospel Music and features the early pioneers, The O'Neal Twins, Thomas A. Dorsey, Willie May Ford Smith, and The Barrett Sisters. I love that documentary.

Thank you for this post. I grew up with The O'neal Twins. I listened to them all of the time. I cannot forget them because when they sang, they sang from their hearts. They allowed God to use them in every way. Their music was pure genuine and as stated above true. A great RESURRECTION SONG - "JESUS DROPPED THE CHARGES". Thank you for this post. God bless you and may Heaven shine upon you. I wish I had a copy of that song. Oh how Heaven gained a great duo.
