The Hinson's Call Me Gone Reaction

[@stilettoczar678]

There has never been a singer greater than the legend, Kenny Hinson!!

[@tweetynaenae]

I got to share the stage with the Hinson’s many times back in the day, and they could get an audience going like no other gospel group. There will never be another Kenny. One of a kind voice. ❤

[@Franciema]

One of the very best singers of all time. Gives me chills every time I hear him sing.

[@cathymarlow8923]

One of the greatest gospel singers of all time...I love this family and I love this song!!! Blessed me to see you cover a great ledgen!!

[@Acoustic_strings]

Kenny was called "THE VOICE" by many many of his peers. The wrote so many great songs. I have seen "The Lighthouse" and "That I Could Still Go Free" mentioned, I also love "Soul Fillin Station"

[@innervoicehvrpteam7]

You're right, that dude was bad. In the Southern Gospel music genre and community, he is considered unanimously to have been the baddest of the bad and arguably the greatest Southern Gospel male vocalist of all time. Throughout his career, he was offered multiple contracts to record secular country music by the biggest major labels in Nashville but he turned them all down because of his undying commitment to Jesus Christ and to music ministry. His brother, Ronny Hinson, the man on far right of the quartet, is one of the greatest and most celebrated Southern Gospel song-writers of all time.

[@0000child]

I heard the story. He was afraid the country music would affect his walk with God. He chose God.. Rest in God's glory Kenny 🙏

[@jrev]

This is All my immediate family! 😊 Thanks!!

[@billmitchell7731]

You speak true brother Kenny Hinson was the best👍🏻💛🙏🏻

[@gordonhurd2340]

I was sixteen when I heard the song, I wore out twenty copies of the cassette. I went on to become a gospel music DJ on radio and became close friends with the Hinsons. Jesus Christ changed my life and it all started with Call me gone. God bless you.

[@kymmykh]

Thats called the southern twang Hinson growl.. Miss my Uncle Kenny!

[@amypope9098]

We do too! How talented he was, now God gets serenaded 🌹

[@MrJustinbgrant]

Legend has it that when Kenny sang on the family's final album, "One More Hallelujah", that he did every one of his lead parts in one cut. This man was indeed "the voice"!

[@TrueBornNana]

I remember the Hinson family. In the 70’s, 80’s & 90’s, my ex-husband was well established in the Southern gospel music family in our area and the Hinsons are one of the well known Southern gospel groups. From this era. Kenny Hinson (lead singer) and his siblings, Ronny, Yvonne, and Larry made up the group. Sadly, Kenny passed away in 1995 at the age of 41 from cancer.. He always had a reputation for singing and writing songs from the heart. What a gifted man. I love to hear him sing. So glad we have the videos and music of those who are no longer with us.

[@waynebrock7248]

I miss Kenny Hinson so much. Always thought he sounded like Merle Haggard when he was younger but as he got a little older, his voice blew away Merle Haggard away, for that matter he blew everyone away. His Son, Weston Hinson sings like him, including both his nephews, Bo Hinson and Eric Hinson, and Mike Bowling who's not relative.

[@rainmancw9022]

I remember my dad playing this song in the 80s. Sure were good memories. Sorry Mr Hinson passed. He was awesome

[@lizardkingof1968]

My grandfather was a pastor/evangelist and responsible for many Assembly of God churches being built through out Missouri, later in life he brought about many gospel concerts around K.C. , my grandparents knew the Hinsons and groups like the Hemphills and the Gaithers very well, I saw them sing many times growing up, God blessed my that way 😁

[@ramondwilliam1307]

Love the Hinsons and love this song. Check out If it wasn't for the lighthouse where would this ship be.

[@stevebowers8932]

Ole Kenney is and was one of my best friends. We spent a lot of great times on the road together! Lots of memories with the family. RIP Kenny you will always live on in the hearts of millions.

[@ZitaZone]

Yeah! The Great Hinson’s✝️✝️What a voice

[@daltonwoodson4421]

My mom was really close with The Hinsons back in the day. They are great people and had lots of fun. One funny thing she told me and you can hear it in the last verse of this song, he gets a little loose with that last “Gone”…. “You can call me John” 😂

[@brendapaddlety2413]

WOW! 😱 What a voice 👍 never heard of them or this song 🤔 beautiful harmonizing 😊 I love it! 💚🙏 What a great message 😍 cute reaction and comments Ty 🤗

[@dannyanderson8269]

Wow great voice .. tight shuffle.. those lyrics are.. the Nashville songmills pull in millions for that kind of wordplay. Just classic

[@wilmahudson664]

Kenny Hinson The VOICE is a LEGEND Love this song Always loved the Hinsons best group ever

[@DonRRicks]

Ty, I'm only 9 months late but I have to agree. Kenny Hinson (1954-1995) could have taken his talent and gifted voice to country, but he remained true to the calling he answered in 1967. Dr. Larry Hinson (1956-2020) was also gifted in voice and literally driven by the call to preach the Good News. Sadly, he died this past spring.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

Kenny Hinson was great and could have hit it big in country. my fav of his is "I Could Still Go Free" even though most people love "The Lighthouse" more. I met them once when they came to town to do a show and they appeared on Sid Hughes tv show. I was working after school there at channel 61 where they had a tv and radio station. Sid was a big time gospel dj and a promoter of gospel acts. They were nice people and could sing their tails off.

[@bobbierobinson6269]

My 2nd favorite, my first is Oasis.

[@JoBetization]

He actually wrote a song about turning down the country music industry I’m trying to think of the name of it.

[@JoBetization]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXmYpZyfoLCIaqc He talks about it towards the end of the video

[@benniemartin3580]

I know Kenny is the best of all singer no man or woman can sing Like him and I believe he was aGodly man iBelive God call him home because A man after God heart Like David was and Larry also

[@moparian13409]

This is just the tip of the ice berg! The Hinsons have a ton of great gospel songs.

[@donnielewis1913]

This gospel group was the standard set for all other country gospel bands. Kenny was fantastic, Ronnie (on the far right) is a great songwriter and MC of the group, Yvonne is their sister,the fellow in the middle is Ronnie's son Bo, who started singing with this family group when he was 17. Three members of this group have passed- Kenny, the piano player Rodney, and the drummer Tracy Richardson. And, sadly the original baritone singer, Larry Hinson passed away a few days ago.

[@gailmay1774]

Kenny was a great song writer also. Wrote a Lot of their songs.

[@Zoros3rdsword]

I've known the Hinsons all my life. Kenny, Ronnie, Bo, Andi can't remember the sisters name. My Mom traveled with Wendy Bagwell and the Sunliters. I grew up in Southern Gospel Music. Kenny passed with Cancer, what a great Man. He lived what he sang about. A true Man of God. Miss you Kenny see you in Heaven.

[@donnielewis1913]

Their sister is Yvonne and while she took a hiatus from the road the other female singer was Chris Hawkins-Freeman, she was AAMAZING!

[@emmanuealloggins2878]

Eric was another nephew who sang before Bo

[@bellesmom238]

GREAT ONE TY , RONNIE THE OTHER MAN SINGING WROTE THE LIGHTHOUSE MUTI PLATINUM

[@christinadulworth3175]

One of my all time favorites! Never a voice like Kenny since. I love Country Gospel, Bluegrass Gospel & Southern Gospel so yep... I knew it was a gospel song right away. The Hinson Family are back together singin', although those in this video have probably all made it to Glory now. The Lighthouse was another great Hinsons song (and just about every group has sung it). PTL! Thank you for sharing!!

[@968hbo]

I have been following The Henson's since around 1972. They are great, I sing a lot of their song still to today. At one time I was in Niagra Falls Canada around 1977 with a church group and was visiting the tower with the rotating dinning room on the to. In the bottom was a bar/dinning room. The others in my group hounded me till I went in and sang. I sang Hinsons song "That I could still go free". I was the only that got a reaction from the crowed. Every one loved their song.

[@AD4MRick]

I loved the Hinsons. They were continuously at the top of the Southern Gospel charts. Kenny Hinson had a great voice and I'm sure if he chose would have done well in country music also.

[@rebeccalitchfield6698]

He was offered a multj million dollar contract but chose to sing gospel

[@christinadulworth3175]

I just recently saw a current video of the Hinson Family... keepin' it in the family! They are sounding pretty good. PTL!

[@williammassey9]

He was as they say "Bad to the Bone" I had the awesome pleasure of singing on a program in Columbus Georgia. He was as many say the real Deal. God gained an awesome voice the day Kenny Hinson joined the Heavenly Chior. Blessings to all who Hear this song. 🙏

[@BobE316]

Kenny Hinson was a great singer. He passed away from cancer at the age of 45 in 1995. The Hinson's are great song writers also, they wrote "The Lighthouse" just to mention one.

[@chrisboatner5023]

Simply the best lead singer ever to come to gospel music he could sing any style he wanted to. A talent that we lost way to soon.

[@ninny6296]

Kenny was the greatest male vocalist ever!!!! I met them in 1985, one of my favorite concerts I ever attended. Also, I listen to Kenny’s song Oasis ALL THE TIME!!!!

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

Bo Hinson does “Oasis” great too. He sounds like a combination of Kenny and Ronny to me.

[@reggiebenson9172]

Finally, someone that understands how great Kenny was - completely ruined me for all other singers. I've seen him numerous times and got his autograph in 1986. I plan to be buried with it.

[@missJazzitup99]

My favorite Kenny Hinson song is Look to Him. What a voice. Call me Gone is so inspirational.

[@pamelawatkins8972]

I've never heard of them or the song, so I didn't know what to expect. I Like it I'll listen to it again

[@debbihendrix5922]

You just should have had the chance to sit front row center stage at one of their concerts! Spirit so thick you could cut it with a knife! Had the privilege of hearing them sing this song more than once! "Awesome" is an understatement!

[@terryoxner5532]

Kenny Hinson’s voice was to Southern Gospel what George Jones’s voice was to country music! Each was the G.O.A.T. of his genre!

[@darnabedwell2115]

Amen! Yes Kenny Hinson is a voice! Check him out on a solo, "Look to Him".

[@kathycrutcher2671]

I have never heard this,but the guy has an amazing voice.its a traditional country gospel so I’m surprised I’ve never heard it🤷🏻‍♀️

[@Salineberry]

Kenny Hinson is 🐐 of Southern Gospel

[@rudekermit]

DUUUUUUUUUUUDE.....this was my mom's favorite song. We sung it in church! Thanks for doing this. To God be the glory!!

[@mybusiness7646]

Rest in Peace Kenny! Man, do i miss this voice!! He is still the greatest in my book!!

[@ArtSchoolPrincess]

I love the Hinsons. I went to their first concert when I was 7 years old, in 1984. I have seen them in concert many times, and we got to know them. Kenny Hinson's son, Weston Hinson, has a group now, and he sounds just like his dad. Weston sung on two songs on our CD, The Nealeys. My favorite song and singer ever, Kenny Hinson.

[@TommiPeel]

Kenny was called "The Voice" of Gospel music. God called him home several years ago. We miss him greatly here, but he and many others are stirring up Heavens Choir!

[@clintoncrewaa]

Known that family my whole life....and your reaction was great!!!! He is known as "The Voice" in southern gospel music.

[@jimmyhallgospelmusic]

This guys named Kenny Hinson his Brother Ronnie Nephew Bo and sister Yovone. He is the reason I started singing!! Sadly he passed away in the 90's from kidney cancer.

[@debrawardlaw4558]

@ Modern Renaissance Man Kenny Hinson is highly regarded as a singer. What a voice. I knew about the Hinsons 50 years ago as a small child. They sang on a TV show called The Gospel Jubilee. His story... He was offered a recording contract to sing country but instead chose gospel. He had already been singing gospel for a long time. The band had gotten back together after being disbanded for a while to do their Hallelujah Tour. One of the soundmen used a home camera to record them, ran music through soundboard. The footage is the last concert footage there is, fuzzy but we have it. They were going to do a professional taping, but sadly, Kenny got sick, and it turned out kidney cancer and he passed away in 1995 at age 42. The last song footage he could barely stand singing "The Lighthouse" ( his brother wrote) on the Gaithers. Not his best but he gave it all he had. There are other videos easily found of The Lighthouse when he was healthy. Kenny called Gone to be with the Lord.

[@tarheelkev9293]

Kenny Hinson was a awesome singer.He had a chance to go country and turned it down

[@wcwindom56]

you should also listen to their sont "The Lighthouse"

[@karlakeaton7099]

I had the pleasure of seeing The Hinson's many times before Kenny passed and will agree with others that he was one of the best singers that ever was! What a talent, gone way too soon!

[@herbhouston5378]

I've listened to the Hinsons for years... and every time I hear this it thrills my soul!!

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

I saved this one to my list of favorites, I enjoy it so much!!! Thanks to such a great person and reactor 👍🏻💫🥰‼️

[@ramonaklassen9280]

Great song. Great message. Great vocals. Loved it.

[@karenmiddleton995]

I knew it was a gospel song. I love the Hinson. You got to play The Light House. Ronnie Hinson wrote it and Kenny the guy singing lead could sing anything. I listen to The Light House almost every night before going to sleep. Heck I have the Hinson's playing all night. This song Call me gone was 1988. Please do The Light House from this same concert in 1988. Kenny is in heaven he lost his battle to cancer in the 90's. The Hinson's were just kids when they started singing. So excited to hear a gospel song. I was hoping it was the light house but I love this song too. Kenny has a son named Weston and he can sing almost like his daddy. Kenny could preach too. All of the Hinson's are great. Ronnie on the right end wrote the Light House. It has been sung by so many people. Elvis loved this song. I sure wish he would have recorded it. The Light House just makes a person feel so good. Thanks for playing this song. Play more gospel music. You can't go wrong with gospel music.

[@karenmiddleton995]

Kenny Hinson 1953- 1995. Gone to soon. 😥 Just 42 years old. He will never be forgotten. He's legacy lives on through his children and other family members. Praise God for the Hinson's.

[@karenmiddleton995]

Thank you MRM. God Bless You.

[@scottlewis83]

Kenny Gibson, Glen Payne (Cathedrals), Mark Lowry, Arthur Rice (Kingdom Heirs), & Michael English (Gaither Vocal Band) are my heroes in Gospel Music

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

By the way, Kenny may get some of his style of singing from Country singing legend George Jones. He was a big fan of him. I heard George was a big fan of Kenny and the rest of the Hinsons as well.

[@PennyKBrown]

I heard this on record first then seen them in person multiple times!!! His voice is immeasurable and unmatchable

[@pshscoach]

Love the Hinson Family. Bro. Ronny will be with us May 19, 2024 in Florida

[@jamierussell-satterfield8443]

I've known my Hinsons since I was a baby. I loved your facial reactions. Hilarious!! And God Love YA!! You heard what that Angel Kenny Hinson could do with that magical voice!!

[@cbilky2914]

He had such a great classic country voice also..awww the puppy is so cute!!

[@billpowers7445]

Loved the Hinsons. Loved Kenny & knew him. He was a TRUE man of God. Broke my heart when the Good Lord called him home at the young age of 42 in 94. I still Miss him Dearlyyy.

[@johnnelson4695]

Amen... call me gone... just saying I love y’all but Cya... my wife is waiting on me.💞

[@Robinsings4Christ]

I heard this in the 80’s when it came out. It’s my favorite song 🙌🏻❤️🤗

[@hinsfan1]

The most exciting group ever to grace the gospel music stage!!

[@crystalreflections8822]

That dude was my good friend..I miss his terribly. He produced my sisters album and actually sang with her on it - probably the only other album he sang on that wasn't Hinson.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

Love it 👍🏻👏🏻🎤🌟❤️‼️. Not heard of this group before now.

[@rickybrown759]

I love this song.you can call my Mom gone because she passed away 2 weeks ago.and I know where she is.thank you for playing that song.

[@billmitchell7731]

His brother Ron Hinson wrote the song THE LIGHT HOUSE. You need to hear Kenny sing that one. It was kenny with the golden voice.

[@enb3rd908]

I was raised on the Hinsons since I was a little kid and I still listen to them at 20.

[@maryconder7100]

You need to hear him sing The Lighthouse. He was a great Southern Gosple singer and writer. Sadly he's gone to his reward now and greatly missed. I grew up on The Hinsons!

[@AuntieCreed]

I've never heard this before. It's a great gospel song though! Thanks for sharing Ty

[@39thala]

This guy's voice!!! Love it.

[@RogerBarkleyJr]

Hey man...Love this! ❤️ I know of very few people who are not influenced by him in multiple genres of Gospel music & Country as well. There's a few that have come close to his sound & friends of mine. Sang with them numerous times but none can compare to original! The spirit when I met him and he took time to talk to a kid wanting to sing & he cared.... something missing alot today btw.... & the Charisma... but that voice.. the trills.... the growl.... I've been singing a couple weeks now lol...actually celebrating 40 years in Gospel Music Ministry & ain't heard a better one yet.

[@GeorgeGeer-v2v]

Ive heard the hinsons since the 1970's all of their songs are wonderful 8:12

[@tjudson6933]

Man that dude right There is my greatest country Gospel inspiration. Pure Holy Ghost Blue eyed soul! That low thang is to country what that Baritone growl is to soul..Barry White, Teddy P. Having said that what made him special is that He lived what he sang for God and treat all people as decent human beings. He passed at 42. Began professionally with his family at 14...Great God!

[@markkennerly3768]

Kenny had one of the best voices ever.

[@0000child]

OMGOSH. My favorite Hinson song. Kenny was a Great Singer. I wish he'd been with us longer.

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

I recently saw an interview with the lead singer’s brother Ronnie about Kenny’s style of singing. He said it was a “...Bluegrass move, where Kenny went high then low...”. The low then high part probably too.

[@BigLewBBQ]

It is a classic quintessential southern gospel song. Your reaction video was priceless! The group was popular in the late 70’s early 80’s.

[@markpatton1326]

The vocal styling that you heard is called “curling” a note. A lot of country singers, Merle Haggard, Lefty Frizzell and Johnny Rodriguez were some with that same style. Kenny never left his calling of music ministry to pursue a secular career. He was committed to our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and served Him until the end.

[@kymmykh]

That intro is what you call a Hinson southern twang legend style trade Mark.. there are 2 people I know that have it naturally in them 1. was my Uncle Kenny Hinson And 2. the young man on stage with him whom he mentored and groomed to continue the legacy which he did and is still continuing the ministry of our family THE HINSONs that is my big brother Bo Hinson.. And I am Kyn Hinson.. And with Bo's son we are The Current line up of THE HINSONs .. My Uncle Kenny passed away to Kidney Cancer in 1995.. When Jesus called for him .. Like the song says.. He was gone.. I bet he's having a blast singing for the Lord in heaven choir.. Thank you for that fun review on my family.. I enjoyed it

[@gordonhurd2340]

Kim, I am a friend of Bo's from years ago. Please tell him Gordon Hurd says hello and let me know where to find you all on the web.

[@williambroome7756]

I love the Hinsons and yes I knew it was a Gospel song and I loved it

[@elvisaustin9553]

This was the first time I have heard this song or group. No I didn't think it was gospel even though the sign behind them said it was. I would be interested in checking out more of their music however.

[@karenmiddleton995]

You definitely should. They started out as young kids. They go way back. This was 1988. They sang everywhere. My favorite song is The Light House. Wrote by Ronnie Hinson. That's Kenny singing lead. He could preach too. Sadly Kenny lost his battle to cancer in the 90's. Well we know where's he's at. Thank God for the Hinson's.

[@bobbierobinson6269]

Try "Oasis" and "The Poter and the Clay"

[@benniemartin3580]

Kenny is the Best all Hinson are great I Believe God had his hand on them Because they where his children and he knew theyLove Him with all there heart may my lord Bless Kenny and Larry who are in heaven with there Love one that there also there

[@austinlee3642]

Yes I knew it was, I think I played that song everyday at least 5 times, and he's an amazing gospel singer, loved their songs

[@waynebrock7248]

I grew up loving the Hinsons, remember seeing them in 1971 and later again that same year and once more in 1984. Kenny Hinson was my favorite, he had that Merle Haggard sound but only better. Sadly Kenny past away in 1995. His son Weston Hinson is like his Dad and Kenny's nephew, Bo Hinson is close like him as well. Anyways loved this song. Rest In Peace Kenny Hinson.

[@rickydbranch523]

Saw them in Tennessee years. Ago. Great singer!

[@oneaccordsoutherngospelmus7962]

Yes love the Hinson Family. Unfortunately Kenny Hinson passed away at a young age with cancer. He was one very talented singer and there hasn't been many that had the style he had!

[@scjohnson1930]

Saw the hinsons a lot of times. They say he patterned his style after country singer Merle haggard. Merle was from California and so was the hinsons

[@wcwindom56]

One of the greatest Southern Gospel groups of all time. You should find something by the Cathedrals and the Happy Goodman family

[@laurawhite303]

So sad Kenny Hinson only lived to be 42 years old died in 1995 so sad he’s was one of the best singers I know

You can tell when a singer or song is anointed by the Holy Spirit! This was both! 😄🙂😊😇😉

[@guadalupeguedea6643]

From the beginning verses I can relate "Call me a dreamer cause I call it mine heaven." He's homesick for it though he's never been there and sees himself as a stranger in this fallen world. *A sinful world that continues to acknowledge there is a God yet they deny him by not being in a serious relationship with Him. 🙏💕🙌 As for me it still stands for now in 2022 We're not supposed to be friends with this world 💙 Love you all 💖

[@edmeeks4982]

One of the greatest music voices in my lifetime!

[@stilettoczar678]

Kenny Hinson is the best Gospel singer ever born!

[@dianefiske-foy4717]

The Hinsons here are from left to right : Kenny Hinson, Bo Hinson, Yvonne Hinson Johnson, Ronny or Ronnie (Seen it written both ways) Hinson. Bo is Ronny’s son. Kenny and Ronny are brothers and Yvonne is their sister. Great Country Gospel group 👏🏻💫🥰‼️ I think that sound Kenny does with his voice is just his style. I’ve seen regular country singers do it too. Kenny would be gone 😔😇 in short 3 years after this. Oh, I forgot to tell you: Kenny could do a pretty good George Jones impersonation. I don’t know if he could do others voices or not. So far, I just heard him do George.
