about
The Gospel Hummingbirds are a male gospel group based in Oakland, California. They are noted for a musical style that mixes inspirational music with urban rhythm and blues - what Hummingbird James Gibson, Jr. calls "Rhythm and Gospel." Since their inception they have recorded six albums. In 1993, the album "Steppin' Out" earned a Grammy Nomination in the category of "Best Traditional Soul Gospel Album" and received the French "Jazz Academy Award" as best gospel album of the year. Although they started singing in church (and still do), in 1987 the 'Birds were invited to perform at Eli’s Mile High Club, a blues nightclub in Oakland, California. Since then, they have shared the stage with gospel "heavyweights" like The Five Blind Boys of Alabama, The Mighty Clouds of Joy and The Dixie Hummingbirds. Notably, the Gospel Hummingbirds have also opened for major Blues, R&B and other "secular" artists, such as John Lee Hooker, Little Milton, B.B. King, Etta James, The Persuasions, Commissioned, Huey Lewis and The News, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Pop Staples, Otis Rush and Joe Louis Walker. There have been many personnel changes since Joe Thomas, Sr. founded the Gospel Hummingbirds in the early 1960's. The current Gospel Hummingbirds are; James Gibson,Jr. - vocals, Morris LeGrande - guitar and vocals, Gerald Dayce - vocals, William Norwood - lead vocals and Clifton Gamble - keyboards and vocals.
