Wow. This was one of the greatest singings ever. The Lord was truly there. You can tell these men really love the Lord and they just keep going and don’t slow down. They even played instruments and entertained during the break period. They are all so talented. Also got to enjoy 3 others that were there that use to be an active part of the Inspirations. They were all great.

The Inspirations Biography
Martin Cook, a former piano player for the Kingsmen Quartet and a chemistry teacher at Swain High School in Bryson City, NC, formed the Inspirations in 1964 with several of his teenage students: Archie Watkins, Ronnie Hutchins, Jack Laws and Dean Robinson. The Inspirations began traveling full-time in 1969, a year after hosting their first “Singing In The Smokies” event. The 1970s saw the Inspirations rise to national attention with a number of hit songs. The group continues today, still maintaining their iconic and unique sound.
