Comments on: Kingsmen make it official http://www.southerngospelblog.com/archives/256 Positive Daily Commentary on Southern Gospel Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:04:00 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: David Bruce Murray http://www.southerngospelblog.com/archives/256/comment-page-1#comment-1642 David Bruce Murray Wed, 14 Feb 2007 01:09:40 +0000 http://www.southerngospelblog.com/archives/256#comment-1642 There was never any suspense in my mind regarding which role Hutson would fill. Phillip Hughes is a lead singer with a tenor range. His talents would be totally wasted in the baritone slot. (By baritone, I'm referring more to the range than the part.) Hutson, on the other hand, can do as Tony Peace did. That is, he can carry some of the lead singing duties while Hughes and Jeremy Peace stack two levels of harmony above him. Vocally, the Kingsmen shouldn't miss a lick with this change. It will be interesting to see what takes place in the emcee department, though, as that is a key part of a group's appeal...especially the Kingsmen.
