The Hoppers

They won awards for Mixed Vocal Group from the Southern Gospel Music Association in 1982 and 1983.

Their first major hit at Christian radio was "Here I Am", in 1990; they would score many further hits, including "Grace Will Always Be Greater”," "Mention My Name”, ”Blame It On Love”, “The Ride”, "Hope”," "I’ve Come Too Far”, “He Didn’t Just Carry the Cross", "That's Him," and "Yes I Am" and their most successful single to date "Jerusalem" for which they recorded a live video in 2005 from the city itself.

In 1998, their version of "Shoutin' Time" was a commercial success, and the group performed with Bill and Gloria Gaither.

The group has appeared on the Gaither Homecoming tour frequently, and Claude and Dean Hopper are members of the board of directors of the North Carolina Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

With distribution under the Spring Hill Music Group label, the Hoppers released "Something's Happening" in August 2010.
