Does anyone know who else is still living beside Mr.Tucker? I Think he is the last one, do you know what year they passed?

[dshock11]

Howard Carroll & Carl Davis are still with us.

Alright this is what I'm talking about. I knew you had some goodies. Is the guy between Paul Owens and Ira Tucker named Carl Davis? I thought he was a pretty good replacement for James Walker. He kinda sounded like him alittle from what I saw on the "Live in Atlanta" recording. Thanks for posting video.

[dshock11]

Yes. That is Carl Davis. Carl was a longtime member of the Florida Robins and probally best known as a Rev. Claude Jeter replacement in The Swan Silvertones.

My mother, Alic Parker Kelliebrew, used to sponsor church fundraisers promoting Gospel show. After the church program half the church along with whatever group she had booked would come to our house for a homemade meal. Sometimes a hundred or more people and Mom always had leftovers!! What a treasure to be able to see and hear these guys at anytime. My Mom is getting quite ill with dementia, but she lights up when I play these old clips for her. Thanks for posting and God bless.

None better than Ira Tucker and the "Birds". This was my dad and uncles' favorite gospel lead singer and gospel group-my all time favorite group. My brothers, cousins and I grew up singing their music. Had to have everything they recorded. Saw them first in 1968 at 6 years old. Mr. "Ira" Tucker's voice was incredible, even into his latter years. His passing is a tremendous loss to the gospel and music community.
