Blackwood Gospel Quartet
Description
The Blackwood Brothers Quartet was formed in 1934 in the hills of Mississippi. Roy, Doyle, James, and Roy's oldest son, R. W. Blackwood were the original members. The group sang in churches, on the radio, and in schoolhouses all around Mississippi. Their dedication and effort to spread the gospel in song has left a great heritage and blessed the lives of many people. Since that early formation, the group has won countless awards, sang thousands of concerts, and appeared on many television shows.
The dedication of Roy, Doyle, James, and R. W. Blackwood continues today through the hearts and lives of the Blackwood Gospel Quartet. The group is now based in Knoxville, Tennessee. They still sing the traditional close harmony quartet style music the Blackwoods are famous for.
Mark Blackwood started singing when he was nine years old with the Blackwood Little Brothers. Mark is the baritone singer for the Blackwood Gospel Quartet. He has won two Grammy awards for recordings he produced for the Blackwood Brothers Quartet. Mark is the son of the late Cecil Blackwood, who was the baritone for the group for forty-six years. Mark traveled with his dad in the Blackwood Brothers Quartet for many years. Mark is the grandson of Roy Blackwood and the great nephew of James and Doyle Blackwood. Mark was born and raised in Memphis but now lives in Knoxville, TN with his wife, Jennifer, and their four year old son, Jamison.
