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.

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.
