Page "James Blackwood" Paragraph 10

After singing with The Blackwood Brothers Quartet for 47 years, James ( together with four other veteran gospel singers, Hovie Lister, Jake Hess, J. D. Sumner and Rosie Rozell ) formed the Masters V Quartet, the highlight being a joint concert with The Rivertown Boys in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

In 1990 he formed the James Blackwood Quartet along with Ken Turner, Brad White and Ray Shelton.

Rosie Rozell would sing tenor in the initial performances, but Larry Ford would quickly become the permanent tenor as Rosie's health deteriorated.

This group, like James ' preceding groups, would also receive a Grammy nomination.
