The Homeland Harmony Quartet was an American gospel group founded in 1935.
The original lineup of the quartet was Otis Leon McCoy,[1] Doyle Blackwood, Fred Calvin Maples, and B.C.
The group had lasting ties to the Church of God and went through more than fifty line-up changes in a career that spanned thirty years.
Other notables to sing with the group include basses Big Jim Waits and Johnny Atkinson, Lee Roy Abernathy and baritone James McCoy.
The line-up of Hall, Abernathy, J. McCoy, Shorty Bradford, and A.D.Soward that formed in 1947 is widely considered to have been a seminal influence on both pop and further gospel musical stylings.
