Robbie Hiner back on the road
It looks like Robbie Hiner–founder of the Old Time Gospel Quartet–has come back on the road, as the tenor for the Classic Imperials, of all groups. Of course, Hiner was never a member of the Imperials, but evidently Jim Murray came off the road and the group was in need of a tenor.
Hiner has also signed on as Vice-President of Alliant Music Group, which appears to be a Black Gospel label.
Blame it on whatever you like! Fact is, my reason is simple enough: I have no interest in any secular music.

I think this is great. Robbie is the kind of christian gentleman that our industry needs. After all he has been through, I hope this is a good stop for him….of course,
so is Jim M…does anyone know what happened to him?

Robbie’s a good singer however I will be interested to hear how he sounds with the group. He just doesn’t appear to be a “Imperials” type tenor IMO..

Wow!!! I am in awh of Robbie. I grew up knowing him and listening to Robbie, Don, and Mack. I also use to listen to the Imperials. I happen to see him and the Imperials last night on a special on the Trinity Broadcasting Network. I loved it and was so moved to hear them all sing together. It has been to long Robbie. Love to see you again.

Hey this is Mary, Robbies sister. We lost our mom on April 6th 2009. I was in VA with Rob and John, my younger brother. I Live in Southaven, MS now. Rob is in Indiana. I remember Franklin Road Baptist Church. Pastor Fortson was the pastor. Dad is doing good and we are living in the hope of eternity with mom.

i’m sorry to learn of your mom’s decease. Robie came to Peace Ch. in Wilson, NC several years ago. What a blessing! What a gift he has from the Lord, that one of a kind voice! May God give him the availabiltiy to continue to keep our gospel music alive. Just last weekend I went to see Bill Gaither in Fayetteville, NC and his program is not the same because of the new trend of music resulting from the deaths of those who were in gospel music for so many years. Be blessed from the hand of the Lord!

I LOVED listening to Robbie, Don and Mack. My brother went to Lynchburg, and met Robbie many times. What part of Indiana is Rob living? I am so happy he is singing again with a group.

I am so blessed to have met and know Mr. Hiner. He was one of my biggest influences for me while attending Liberty University, as well as being a member of TRBC. Mr. Hiner had me sing solo on OTGH, and that experience opened up so many doors for me! But what I love and appreciate most about Mr. Hiner is his love for Jesus. Mr Hiner is surely a worshipper, and I hope to hear from you soon friend!!! God bless!

Robbie,
There is no way you can remember me and my family but we got to know you at Liberty Baptist in San Jose, CA. years ago. You came and performed at the fairgrounds for one of the churches biggest days. The bus I worked on brought in about 300 that day. What a glorious memory. Our entire family is still praising our Matchless, Endless, Amazing Lord. Lots of water has passed under the bridge since then and many difficult lessons have been learned. I am so glad to hear that you are still using that amazing voice to glorify God.

No one could sing Finally Home like Robbie. Is there anyway to buy it on a cd.
