Consisting of siblings Ronny, Yvonne, Kenny and Larry, they first sang together in 1967 after being asked to sing during revival services at a small church in Freedom, California.
Younger brother Larry tells the story behind the Hinsons signature song: "It was written in 1970, in the downstairs bathroom of a church then called "The Pentecostal Tabernacle."
Ronny disappeared for several minutes, only to return to the church sanctuary brandishing a long fluttering piece of toilet paper.
For over a year, the Hinsons maintained at least four songs in the monthly top ten of southern gospel music.
In 1974, Sister Yvonne left the road and was replaced for six years by two time Queen of Gospel Music recipient Chris Hawkins.
In late 1984, Ronny "Bo" Hinson Jr replaced Eric until 1988, when the group took some time off for the members to pursue their individual ministries.
After many conversations and phone calls with his family, Larry approached their record producer at Calvary Music Group and suggested a reunion project involving the original members.
After Kenny's passing, Ronny, the eldest of the brothers in the group, continued to perform, write, as well as produce.
In 2000, Kenny was voted "Artist of the Decade" and placed into the Millennium Hall of Fame by ICGMA (International Country Gospel Music Association.)

The New Hinsons would continue to experience success with hits like "If There Had Been No Calvary", "Sin Died Here", "Still Go Free", and "Who but God?".
From California to New York, and everywhere in between, the reaction at each concert has been a resounding echo lauding the unique sound for which The Hinson Family has become known.
Still, there are those along the way in churches or concert venues that have yet become acquainted with the inspirational themed music of the church and often their reaction comes with a smile from ear to ear as though they had found a prize in an unexpected place and they say things like, "I never thought I would like Christian or Gospel music until I heard The Hinson Family.
Rebecca Lynn Howard (Award-Winning Country Music Artist) – "Hearing The Hinson Family sing is a flood to my soul!
Weston is a true 'Chip off the ol’ block., as you are shaken by the familiar tones and vocal moves of his voice, it's apparent that his late father, Kenny Hinson, has passed the mantle on to him.
Weston's wife Christy brings a fresh anointing of her own as her incredible range pierces the heart of all who are listening.
Bruce Minchey (Major Promoter in Dallas/Ft Worth Area) – “It is a pleasure to work with The Hinson Family!
Jordy, as she is lovingly called by those close to her, has won many fans with her smooth vocal style that many have likened to Country Music legend Connie Smith with a touch of bluegrass.
