The dynamic Birmingham Sunlights are a rarity -- an extremely talented, young black vocal group resolutely dedicated to carrying on the art of unaccompanied four-part gospel harmony singing. This traditional music form has an especially brilliant heritage in their home place Jefferson County, Alabama. Organized in 1979 by music director/lead tenor James Alex Taylor, the quartet includes James' brothers Steve and Barry Taylor, who sing baritone and bass respectively, and lead singers Reginald 'Ricky' Speights, baritone, and Wayne Williams, tenor.
