The Pilgrim Jubilees, also known as The Pilgrim Jubilee Singers, are an American traditional black gospel music group originally from the cities of Jackson, Mississippi and Chicago, Illinois, where they were established by Elgie Graham and Willie Johnson, in 1934.
They added three more members to the duo in 1946: Elgie's brother Theophilles Graham, Monroe Hatchett, and Leonard Brownlee.
The Graham family settled in Chicago, Illinois, in 1950, where they added Major Roberson, Kenneth Madden and two more of Elgie's brothers, Cleve and Clay Graham, alongside Richard "Rufus" Crume, Percy Clark, and Roosevelt English.
Madden and Crume also left the group during the 1960s, while they added Bobby McDougal in the late 1960s, and Ben Chandler and Michael Atkins in the early 1970s.
They gained two more members during the 1990s: Eddie Graham, a cousin, and Fred Price.
