All my life I ve been a gospel fan of the Dixie Hummingbirds, since I’m from Greenville, SC where they went to high school with my family. Anyway since I heard them the first time in person I just felt in love with them, and when they came to Baltimore City to sing in person, I really enjoy them. Especially when I got a chance to meet Mr. Iva Tucker and the entirer group, not only that I was able to get all their autographs on the their picture that they gave me! Thank God for how blessed to be part of history, Also my father and Aunts went to high school with them when James Davis and Iva Tucker started singing in high school too, and I so glad that the New Dixie Hummingbirds have taken over and they really sound great, and can’t wait until they come to Baltimore!
The Fruitland Harmonizers -did a show in Cambridge. MD with the Original Hummingbirds in the late 80s. I was the Harmonizers drummer. Jesse Jackson was there. Nothing like the Dixie Hummingbirds. The current guys do a nice job. They have that good old, jubilant, hopping, classy southern gospel.country western sound that makes these bands so special going back to the 30s.
Lyndon Baines Jones was a genius & gentleman. He carried on brilliantly the legacy of Mr. Howard Carroll. His musicianship and friendship is dearly missed. His spirit will live on.
I guess I will date myself by saying this, but the first time I saw the Dixie Hummingbirds, there was Howard Carroll on guitar, and they had a drum machine. I first saw them at the Cow Palace in San Francisco in the early 2nd half of the 20th Century.
Wow thx for posting this. Gospel music doesn't get enough support or recognition for its importance as a genre or its foundational role in American music. This is awesome
2019 Been looking for Christian songs like this! Can someone please please please suggest other artists who are Christian (Protestants) with this SOULFUL worship to GOD. Please. Hillsong, Bethel, Elevation Music, and Jars of Clay are too overrated. Need to go back to the GOSPEL/SOUL roots. Please help. Thanks.
Hi, if you are looking for SOULFUL Christian singing, particularly acappella singing, check out The Harmonizing Stars of Boston.... on TH-cam... In June 2019 celebrated 50 years singing. Please give me feedback.
Love these guys!! It's a bold step to even try to emulate such icons as The Birds, and tho they may not have that "thing" the originals did - they still sound great! I'm proud to know Carlton personally....He's a fine young man...has always been rooted in good Gospel singing. Carry on men!!!
@@jaidenamccarroll Exactly..those men were from the old School and can NEVER be duplicated...but these guys do a fine job of carrying on the tradition!
Sylvia North Carolina Good Day! This isn’t a cover group, actually. Three of the members were chosen by Ira Tucker Sr. They were trained, nurtured & actually performed with him. Another member is Ira Tucker Jr. Ira Sr. wanted to ensure that the group would live on. Thankfully, it is alive & well & about to celebrate the 90th anniversary! Thank you so much for your support!
Sorry Sir But this is not a Cover Group.Who Are They..They're THE LEGENDARY DIXIE HUMMINGBIRDS...Praise God and Thank God for These Young Chosen Men of God for carrying on Traditional Gospel Music.Love&Peace....Please Remember God Created One of The Each of Us.

Calton should let the bass singer handle loves me like a rock. Ira, threw down upon the song on the record with the group.
I’m sorry, but this is not the dixie hummingbirds
WILLIAM BOBO!!!
I hate to say it but someone is off key.
Ha Ha...they alright..but no one will ever be able to capture the magic of the classic lineup!!!!!!
I know that's right!!!!
Ill say it for you
I first saw these guys in 1965 in Wilson NC and James Walker was so nice
Lucky you...he had just passed when I first saw them in 1992 in Pine Bluff, Ark
Great !

Carlton carried on the tradition of Mr T and as always Ĺyndon was playing his guitar to drop the mike for....
Not as tight as the originals.
Why would it even be? Still good tho.

This was a great concert
He sounds like the spitting image of his father
I bet he can't sing like him!!!!
You know the guy singing lead isn't Ira Tucker, Jr. That would be the tall guy second from the right with the cane.
Not Mr Tucker son leading
Yes Lord yes Lord oh my G be plus in the name of Jesusod it is so beautiful God commandments and singing the same so beautiful
It couldn't get no better Jesus Hallelujah hallelujah praise the Lord thank you Jesus thank you King Jesus 💕🤲🩸👑🙏🏿
Alright now...hitting some of that Ira Tucker, Sr! Raised up on you guys!
Love their low tone brassy deep voices.
What kind of electric guitar is that?
Not the same without the original thanks for trying....keep their legacy alive!
This is beautiful, please don’t stop keep this going
Great cover group.
