THE INSPIRATIONS

The Inspirations were formed in 1964 with an ensemble that stayed together for over 40 years.  The group looks very much now like it did forty years ago:  Archie Watkins (tenor), Eddie Deitz (lead), Troy Burns (baritone), Martin Cook (piano), and Jack Laws (lead).  They later added Mike Holcomb at bass.  One of my favorite groups, and, if you like traditional Southern Gospel that hits the high and the low notes, you'll love the Inspirations.
