@Singers.com : Southern gospel music, also sometimes referred to as “classic gospel,” has been around since the 1950s, though since the 1980s there has been a revival in its well-deserved popularity. The style is an enticing mix of Sacred Harp and bluegrass, and has the best of both worlds. So it’s no surprise that some of the best Christian artists of recent decades have recorded these stellar albums in a Southern Gospel style.

@Southern Gospel Music Association : We believe Southern Gospel Music is the musical arm of our Lord's evangelist church, without regard to denomination. Therefore, it is our job to use all means available to us to praise and spread the name of Jesus Christ through Southern Gospel Music.

@J.D. Sumner and the Stamps Quartet : J. D. Sumner and the Stamps blazed a new path in the gospel music field, when Sumner committed his group to taking gospel music into the secular arena, working with Elvis Presley.
