	The Golden Gate Quartet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Golden Gate Quartet is the most successful of all of the African-American gospel music groups who sang in the jubilee quartet style.
		Founded as the Golden Gate Jubilee Quartet in Norfolk, Virginia in 1934 by A. "Eddie" Griffin, Robert "Peg" Ford, Henry Owens, and Bill Johnson, they began as a traditional jubilee quartet, combining the clever arrangements associated with barbershop quartets with rhythms borrowed from the blues and jazz.
		The Golden Gates revived their career in 1955, however, when they toured Europe for the first time, where they became widely popular.

	Golden Gate Quartet (Va. -html
		Norfolk’s Golden Gate Quartet was arguably the greatest of the jubilee singing groups spawned in the first decades of the 20th century, despite vigorous competition from a region filled with definitive and wildly popular quartets with names like Silver Leaf and Norfolk Jubilee.
		A version of the Golden Gate Quartet still thrives in Europe, singing in the classic "jubilee" style for a more appreciative audience in a foreign land.
		In their original incarnation, these Booker T. Washington High School graduates left a rich catalog that could seriously be called the most consistent and awe-inspiring in all of fl vocal music — one that holds up today not only as history but as inspired, and inspirational, listening.

		Beginning in 1934 as a traditional gospel group, the four soon found their niche in the new “jubilee” style then popular in Virginia — a style that was freer and more rhythmic than traditional Gospel, and inspired by such groups as the Mills Brothers and Three Keys.
		In 1938 the Gates appeared in "Spirituals To Swing" at Carnegie Hall, alongside such artists as Benny Goodman and Count Basie.
		They were so popular there that they moved their headquarters to Paris in 1959, where today’s Gates continue to live and perform, nearly 70 years after Hampton Roads audiences heard The Golden Gate Quartet for the first time.

	The Golden Gate Quartet
		The story of the Golden Gate Quartet began in the early 1930's at a barbershop in the Norfolk, Virginia suburb of Berkeley.
		In the summer of 1936, as the ailing Ford began to miss more and more of the Gates' growing number of engagements, Johnson, Owens, and Langford succeeded in talking the parents of 16-year old bass singer Orlandus Wilson (their favorite fill-in for Ford) into permitting their son to join the group as a permanent member.
		Through regular appearances on radio programs in Columbia, SC and Charlotte, NC, and with performing dates in churches throughout Virginia and the Carolinas, the Golden Gate Quartet was, by the middle of 1937, the hottest gospel act around.

	CD Review of Golden Gate Quartet / Josh White - Freedom on Bridge Records @ jazzreview.com
		The Golden Gate Quartet is virtually an American institution in the realm of Gospel Music.
		This concert presented a mix of the sacred and the secular, of blues songs and gospel songs, performed by The Golden Gate Quartet and Josh White, with brief, dignified explanatory commentaries prefacing some of the songs.
		The GG Quartet, aside from their hearty, rhythmic harmony singing, show you the “blueprint” for the basic “band” as we know it: a lead voice carries/swings the melody while interlocking voices make with That Rhythm and Those Neat Embellishments.

	The Golden Gate Quartet
		Times Windin Up When the GGQ burst onto the gospel music scene in the 1930's out of the Tidewater region of Virginia, fl churches were quite musically conservative and not given to rhythmic experimentation or nods toward popular music.
		Thus there was a fair amount of head-shaking when the GGQ emerged as the leader of a very fine pack of Gospel groups during a very difficult and trying time in American history.
		Listen to "Golden Gate Gospel Train," "Jonah In The Whale," "Go Where I Send Thee" and the vocal "horns" on "Massa's In The Cold Cold Ground," the title tunethis is amazing stuff.
