EOE/MF By LOIS SMITH According to her grandfather, Bill Robinson, his granddaughter, Holly Robinson, is "doing good." The rising eighth-grader at Bessemer City Junior High School, who has been singing gospel songs since she was 8 years old, is mak- ing her first tour. At this time, she is half-way into her seven-week, 27-state tour. Bill Robinson told how the tour had come about. "Rev. Steve Wilkins, minister at Ragan Wesleyan Church, helped us to schedule Holly's tour," he said. "He is her booking agent." Rev. Wilkins stated, "We started working last fall in working on the tour. I have a high interest in reli- gious music. For four years I trav- eled with a Concert Ministry. In working with it, I sang. We visited churches, church meetings and camp meetings to present musical programs. Those are the places that Holly is also singing. "I enjoy music. It is a hobby for me. I get an enjoyment out of as- sisting Holly in her gospel singing career." Rev. Wilkins added, "I just re- turned tonight from Des Moines where my wife and I attended the General Convention of the Wesleyan Church. Holly was booked to sing at it. She was very well received.” Holly is also the granddaughter of Nell Falls of Kings Mountain. Holly's grandfather, in telling about Holly's reception at the General Wesleyan Convention, commented with pride, "After Holly sang, she was asked to sing ~~ again and again." At the convention, Holly picked up additional bookings to add to her schedule. Ministers who heard her sing asked her to sing at their churches. She is also selling a lot of her tapes. Holly is calling her tour "Making A Difference.” She has t- shirts that have three photos of her along with the words "Making A Difference." Her dad, Mike Robinson, wrotethe lyric and Scott Whitener wrote the music. Bill Robinson pointed out, "My son, Mike, his wife, Carolyn, and 1] ALG LE KINGS MOUNTAIN, NC HOLLY ROBINSON Holly's 10-year-old brother, Ritchie, are accompanying Holly. They call each day to my wife and me to let us know how they are getting along." Ritchie is thoroughly enjoying the tour. In addition to seeing buf- faloes and the Old West, the Robinsons drove four hours off their route to Kansas City so that Ritchie could see his favorite team, the Yankees, play Kansas. Rev. Wilkins said the Robinsons, who are staying both at motels and, at times, in homes of church mem- bers, left Iowa for Sioux Falls, S.D. They will be in Montana, Oregon and California. Her grandmother Robinson said, "The first state Holly performed in was the state of Indiana and then oF Wamp C8, J, SEE TS, SY = DOWNTOWN, KINGS MOUNTAIN in all Departments PARTNERS FOR QUALITY EDUCATION WILL MEET TUESDAY, JULY 21st at 7:00 pm Barnes Auditorium 0 i] I Savings Up To | Religion | on into Michigan before she sang in Des Moines. My family will re- turn through the southern states en route home. They will be in Colorado at Colorado Springs and Greeley." Holly's grandmother pointed out, "Holly has cut her tenth album. At each place she sings, a table is set up for her to display and sell her albums." The last tape Holly made has so- lo parts in it by the Revs. Whitener and Wilkins, Scott Whitener, Teresa Carpenter and Judy Whitener. First Wesleyan choir is in the background. She made her first two record- ings through a recording company on Ozark Ave. in Gastonia that was owned and operated by Gary Rushing. In 1988, her grandfather Robinson bought into the recording company and eventually bought it out. It now operates as Son Sound Recording Co. It is located at 104 Bright Ave. Her grandfather commented," Holly's making her albums was re- sponsible for getting me interested in recording gospel music." As a 13-year-old gospel singer, Holly has made the grade to pro- fessional status. Local people have had the plea- sure of hearing Holly sing in pub- lic. She has sung at all three of Bessemer City's Down Home Day events where she has been very well received.
