THE MELODY BOYS QUARTET      
Making Magnificent Music Since 1949                       

    Well known in the Southern Gospel Industry for their tight vocal blend and classic styling, The Melody Boys Quartet is committed to spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ through song.  When Gerald Williams joined the group in 1949 at age 16, the Stamps Baxter Melody Boys Quartet, with Smilin’ Joe Roper, filled the radio airwaves 3 times daily. They also starred in their own nightly television show in their home state of Arkansas.  In 1957, The Melody Boys Quartet performed at the very first National Quartet Convention in Memphis, Tennessee; and they continue to perform on the main stage at the relocated National Quartet Convention in Louisville, Kentucky, every year.

          On October 12, 2006, Gerald Williams was inducted into the Southern Gospel Music Association’s Hall of Fame.  Gerald has been singing bass for The Melody Boys Quartet for more than 55 years.  His Hall of Fame induction distinguishes him as one of Southern Gospel Music’s acknowledged Greats.  Beyond that, Gerald is respected throughout the Industry as a man of integrity with a true heart for the Lord.  Roy Pauley, of The Singing News Magazine, has said of Gerald, “He’s without question today’s most accomplished bass.”

            The Melody Boys Quartet is one of the few full-time groups on the road today that has remained true to their Southern Gospel roots.  When the Melody Boys take the stage, they make every effort to fill the majority of their programs with traditional quartet harmonies, using nothing but the piano for accompaniment.  And on the occasions when more instrumentation is used, the Melody Boys are committed to keeping the volume at comfortable levels.

            The primary purpose of The Melody Boys Quartet is to Give the World a Smile, as they devote their lives to sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ in song. 

          Won’t you join the thousands of fans who look forward each year to experiencing a vintage taste of Southern Gospel’s finest quartet entertainment with Gerald Williams and…
