The show with the Blackwood Brothers Quartet will be telecast Jan. 24 and 25.<\/p>\n
“It was a delight to have the Blackwood Brothers Quartet on my show last year and I know the viewers will enjoy seeing this historic show again,” said Gene Williams the star, producer and creator of the longest running weekly TV show in Branson. “I\u2019ve done my show for almost eight years in Branson and this was the first time I have been able to coordinate the famous group\u2019s schedule with my show\u2019s taping schedule. This group was founded in 1934. What an honor to have the group that has such a history to perform on the stage of the Gene Williams Theatre. Today James Blackwood\u2019s son, Jimmy (James Jr.) Blackwood continues the 73-year gospel music tradition with Wayne Little, Randy Byrd and Brad White.”<\/p>\n
In addition to the Blackwood Brothers the Best of Series will feature Johnny Lee, Barbara Fairchild, Joey Riley and Mickey Gilley.<\/p>\n
