How many of us was preparing for church on a Sunday morning listening to this?? We had church before we left home!!!!

[@michaelgivens7381]

YESSSS...

[@Braztx]

These boys here could tear a church up with this song!!! No other groups on the ticket because The BIRDS would shut the house down!!!! I've Been Born Again.

[@feure64]

Wow, I'm sitting here listening this and I'm in tears, I recall listening to this with my mom and she would have me to put it on a cassette tape for her. Wow bring back so many good memories.

[@ThePastorsandyray]

I know the feeling. My dad and I would listen to the Dixie Hummingbirds often. I grew up listening to them. I use to sing in a quartet and often listened to them for ENCOURAGEMENT... Still do ...

[@MrGreatguy50]

Takes me back to the time when I got saved. I miss church like this.

[@jayonnaj18]

Praise the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY! This is the spirit-filled singings and music my parents played in the home, and when I got saved this is what was rocking on my stereo as my husband, our 2 kids and I listened to them! The Dixie Hummingbirds were among my very favorites, for when they sang they glorified Jesus Christ to the max!!!💗💗💗

[@Kinsale1333]

Rest in the Lord, gentlemen. You deserve all of God's blessings. Pray for us, brother Ira.

[@howardcarroll4255]

The rumor of my passing has been greatly exaggerated. That's my guitar you're listening to. Howard Carroll Dixie Hummingbird

[@typrsn1]

May the Lord bless and keep you Brother Carroll. Thank you for all of those years of that wonderful guitar playing and singing. You and I are Facebook friends.

[@Kinsale1333]

I gratefully stand corrected, Brother Howard. How good to know you are still with us! Your guitar brought me closer to my the Lord.

[@cjmitchell09]

Bro. Carroll, I have been a fan of yours since I 1st heard u pickin back n the 70's, when my late father was bringing us up on the Hummingbirds, the Nightingales, the Mighty Clouds, the Caravans, and all the old time greats! i love your pickin ability Bro. Howard, truly, not another 1 like u!

[@reginaldturner4963]

Grew up listening to this in my parents house. Still "Full of Fire!" "Ain't He Alright?" WOW!!

YES ME TOO

[@brodocbetty4856]

@@michaelgivens7381 Old school gospel at its best.

[@athorpe630]

This was real quartet singing when they felt what they sang it wasn't just a show that they did all weekend for the money. The were winning souls.

[@lindawhite6635]

Amen and Amen!!!!!!!!!

[@iDrum90]

They actually DID do it for money on the weekends. This was how they fed their families, and if you’ve studied what quartet was, it was showmanship. Ira Tucker himself said they had to develop a sound and a SHOW; in order to survive on the road. They did it for God, but it was a show nevertheless; and there’s NOTHING WRONG with thayv

[@ReformBroadcast]

i bought this album just recently. it was a signed copy, signed by his daughter. I actually gifted it to my dad, who cried when I surprised him with it. This is how I grew up. My favorite group...EVER! I'm the biggest Tucker fan. listen to his background vocals! They're even better than his leads.

[@stinegandy5074]

oh yes, i know i've born again... feel the fire, glory, glory!! yes, our Lord Jesus Christ is alright!! 🕊🙌🏽❤️ my dad always played the Harmonizing Four, the Swan Silvertones, the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Staple Singers, and the recording of Dr. Kings' I have a dream speech... i love my dad and those sweet, precious memories he gave us 🕊🙏🏽❤️

This was the last song I played for my dad when he transitioned last year 4/5/22. He loved this song. He said he saw them in concert.

[@jeffersonturnage2061]

All those gospel groups were great, but the Dixie Hummingbirds were in a league all by themselves.I,m still on awe listening to them and that guitar player.

My Papa’s favorite Quartet group. He transitioned on Feb. 24 2019. This month I am celebrating my Papa’s life by listening to DH. He was 90 years old.🙏🏾🕊😢😔 A little humor I know they got tired of singing for my Papa. He played their records all day every day and night.😂 He probably has them singing for him now in Heaven. I would not doubt it.😂🤷🏾‍♀️

[@willisyounger5083]

Mr. Carroll, you won't remember me as I was 12 yrs. of age when we met. (1972 in Cape Charles, VA) I played lead guitar for The Eastern Shore Silvertones...... the baddest group on the East (next to the DHs). When the concert was over you took me aside and said to me "you're working too hard; try these chords". I did and became pretty good. You and the DHs will always be my gospel heroes. And to this day, I still sing LORD, I WANT YOU TO HELP ME just the way you all did back in the day. God Bless The Kings of Gospel!!!

[@typrsn1]

Brother Carroll passed away on 10/17/2017. He was 92.

[@evangelinefuller7667]

I met them when I was fourteen or fifteen years old. There was always a rumor that Howard Carroll was my father. It was acknowledged by him also. I did spend time with him everytime they came to Rochester NY. Guess I'll always remain the secret daughter.
