The quartet began in 1964 when Martin Cook, a teacher at Swain County High School, invited several young men to his home for evenings of singing.\\xa0 Later
they began traveling around the area and singing at various venues.
The original quartet consisted of Archie Watkins, tenor; Ronnie Hutchins, lead singer; Jack Laws, baritone, Troy Burns, bass/later lead singer; and Martin
Cook on piano.
Since then, the following men have become part of the Inspirations (more affectionately known as "The Fraternity"): Eddie Dietz, lead and baritone; Marlin
Shubert, bass, Mike Holcomb, bass; Roger Fortner, lead guitarist; Dale Jones, steel guitar; Myron Cook, upright bass; Chris Smith, baritone; Matt Dibler,
lead; and the most recent addition is Melton Campbell, baritone.
The group has had much success in the Southern Gospel genre with such songs as "Shouting Time In Heaven", "When I Wake Up To Sleep No More", "A Rose Among
The Thorns" and "We Need To Thank God".
They have been named "Favorite Quartet Of The Year" several times at the Singing News Fan Awards which is held in connection with the National Quartet
Convention.
Over the past five decades, The Inspirations have collected almost every major Gospel Music Award possible, including a gold plaque commemorating their
selling a million records.\\xa0 They have been voted the #1 Gospel Music Quartet several times.
They have charted well over 60 hit songs, more than any other gospel group.\\xa0 The Inspirations have now recorded a combination of more than 60 projects;
plus a number of studio and LIVE videos. Their recordings can be found in Canada, Europe, Australia, and Africa. Inspirations\' recordings have even been
found in Taiwan and missionaries who have gone into the old Iron Curtain countries have brought stories back of finding their music.
The Inspirations were regular cast members of the historic "Gospel Singing Jubilee" television show which was aired nationally in the United States for
many years and in 1970, the group then consisting of Archie, Ron, Eddie, Marlin and Martin, were the subject of a seven minute documentary on CBS Television,
anchored by current History Channel host, Roger Mudd.
They have been declared Kentucky Colonels, Arkansas Travelers, and they have had many special days set aside in their honor. Each member has collected
numerous awards individually.
Each July, since 1966, the quartet has hosted the Annual Singing In The Smokies at the Inspiration Park which is located between Bryson City, NC and nearby
Cherokee, NC. This event draws thousands of Southern Gospel fans from around the country and brings in some of the biggest names in Southern Gospel music.
Traditional quartet harmonies from Archie Watkins, Eddie Deitz, Marlon Shubert, and Roland Kesterson with songs that represent the finest in Southern Gospel
music.
