Says Hall, 1 never met a person I
didn’t like.”
Hie favor has been returned
throughout the gospel personality's
lifetime as his talents have been
recognized by presidents Lyndon B.
Johnson, Richard Nixon and Jimmy

Bird Johnson and Barbara Bush.
In the early *708, Hall was cited by
a nationally published gospel maga
zine as a gospel singer for the month
of December. Later in that aama
decade, ha received tha kay to tha
city of Raleigh and waa awarded a
first prise at tha N.C. State Farm
Festival in 1889.
Hall recalls in looking back on tha
beginnings of his gospel ringing
career,“I could picture myself
standing up before a largo group
and ringing* Ho ultimately has
dona just that, appearing before
crowds numbering 10,000 or more.
The chores of business manager
for the Sensational Evening Five
still keep Hull very much involved in
gospel musk today. This year will
make 43 years he's been ringing
with the group.
Hall says of his future at the
Baptist State Convention, *1 plan to
retire in five years.” When asked
about a date of retirement for his
lifelong love of gospel music, Hall
couldn't give a date, but he did give
The CAROLINIAN the time of his
Sunday morning gospel show on
radio station WBHA-FM, which he
has been doing for the past 14 years.
He can be heard between 9 and 9:30
ajn. on Sundays.
