Former Kingsmen baritone Parker Jonathan was off the road for several years after leaving the Kingsmen. For the past few years, he’s probably been one of the top 20 featured in various “Where Are They Now?” columns.
A friend (hat tip, RY) let me know that he has now started a trio called The Jonathans with his wife and a third singer [EDIT: tenor singer Eric Dunson - hat tip, DB]. They are opening for the Mark Trammell Trio and the Perrys tonight in Bowdon, Georgia.

Oh , how i wish i could be there! i love Parker.
This is the first SG news in quite a while that has made me say, “Oh my word!” Wow. I wish him the best. Good to hear this news!
Great News!
Parker and Paula sound wonderful together. I forget the other singer’s name but they have a very nice blend. Paula is a fantastic vocalist and of course Parker is one of the best baritones out there. I had the priviledge of visiting in the Jonathans home a few months back and heard a recording and was very impressed.
the other singer’s name, jus lettin you know,is eric dunson and he is my uncle
I am glad to find out this news! I enjoyed Parker in his Kingsmen days and have wondered many times since then if he would ever appear again on the SG scene. I hope things go well for the new group and that perhaps I will even have a chance to hear them sometime!
We’re very happy to see that Parker is back on the road; we have missed seeing him and hearing him sing. We wish him every success with his trio and look
forward to hearing him again!
Delighted to hear that Parker Jonathan has returned to Gospel Music, and hope to be in an area where they sing in the near future. I always enjoyed him with the Kingsmen and was sorry when he left. Good luck to him, his wife, and the new Trio. Let us hear more from you, Parker.
ey i am a friend of parkers from waqy back in the royal city days ….. parker if yu read this call me 706 968 1154 ….
One of the most missed singers in SGM history!! Great news
Parker is the best baritone out there right now. I am pleased to say right now because it has been too long. Parker give me a call or drop me an e-mail. In case you forgot, this is the ol boy who gave ya many rides down the road in my pick up truck as we talked life and music.
Parker is an awesome baritone. I always enjoyed hearing him so much during his days with the Kingsmen. The newest addition to their trio is a friend and fellow classmate from Bible college, Eric Dunson. Eric and I graduated last year from Trinity Baptist College in Jacksonville. I’m so thankful that God is using his talent and abilities to glorify Him. Looking forward to hearing The Jonathans when they come to Jacksonville on February 27th.
