Anyone who knows Ed Hill will testify to the fact that during the last 55-plus years of his musical career, his humility, his love of gospel music, his love for God and his love and concern toward God's family are still apparent and vibrant as they were at the onset of his musical pursuits. Whether singing at a small country church or as a backup singer for Elvis Presley, he has never changed. Ed still treats each person he meets as a friend and has one of the most beautiful baritone voices in the gospel music industry. Ed's Christian life is exemplified at home with his loved ones and enjoys the reputation of being one of the most respected family men in the gospel music industry. Known around the world, Ed Hill continues to follow God's call upon his life and would love to share his song and his faith with you and your constituency. Ed Hill now shares the gospel as a Christian solo artist . . . and he is ready to share his ministry with you.

Contact: www.sgma.org The Southern Gospel Music Association announced at Dollywood its Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame inductees for 2009. “We are honored to add these great musical servants to a very elite group of people who have made Southern Gospel music known around the world,” said Dr. Jim Goff, SGMA Induction Committee chairman. “Without their contributions it is safe to say our music would have reached fewer ears and affected fewer hearts and lives. Without them our industry would have been much smaller in its reach.” The 2009 SGMA class of inductees includes: Neil Enloe, Ed Hill, Harold Lane, Don Light, Bill Lyles, Elizabeth "Lady" Mull, Billy Todd, and Charlie Waller. The official induction ceremony will occur as part of the festivities of SGMA Day, Oct. 7, 2009. “I know the inductees, their families, fans and friends will be pleased to hear of this honor,” said Charlie Waller, SGMA executive director. “We will certainly be planning an outstanding induction ceremony this year.” The day generally features a fun-filled day of concerts, dinner and the induction of the 2009 Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame newest members.

Ed Hill said, "I have been singing gospel music for forty-nine years with various groups, but I am most proud of starting the Prophets Quartet in 1959. Through the years, everywhere I go, people still approach me and tell me how much they love the Prophets and still play the old albums. This has been a labor of love for me, and I dedicate this project to all the Prophets' fans with love and pride." The new recording features a mix of new songs and updated versions of previous Prophets Quartet songs. Group member Paul Jackson contributed five songs to the album. Additional songs were written or co-written by John Daniel, Daniel J. Mount, Susan Farah, Johnny Minick, Terry Pillow, Charles Billingsley, Cheryl Rogers, Nathan DiGesare and Lari Goss. More information on the newly revived quartet will be available at www.prophetsquartet.com.
