George Melton
George
is a man with a heart for God, desiring to use his voice to spread
the gospel message. He has been faithful to this calling for
more than 50 years. In high school he began singing in a Gospel Quartet.
He then went to college and sang with an a cappella group called the
"Ambassadors" for five years. In
1961 George joined the "Claiborne Brothers Quartet"
in Southern California. From there he went north to Fresno
and joined the ministry of the "Gospelaires".
New BeginningsIn 1968 George formed the "Gospel Lads".
For five years he traveled and sang with these men and God blessed
their ministry. Part of the original group of the "Gospel
Lads" are still singing. The Lads have been ministering for
over thirty years. People have come to know the Lord, young
people have been directed to Christian Bible Colleges, and still
others have sought a career in Gospel Music.
God has given George one of the highest tenor voices in Gospel Music
today. He has been offered many positions in the entertainment
field, but has felt that God called him to minister to Churches
across the nation.
Romance Enters The Scene
While singing with the Claiborne Brothers Quartet, a young lady
with a beautiful voice, sang in a trio at several of their concerts.
It wasn't long before love took over and the two were married.

Nedra Melton
She
began singing in Whittier, California. At the age of 16 she
won the Southern California Soprano Solo Contest and made an album
at Capitol Records as part of the winnings. She also received
a College Scholarship. During the early years of George &
Nedra's marriage, George sang with the quartets and Nedra sang with
several Ladies Trios. Often they were on the same platform. |
The Melton Family Establish Their Ministry
In 1973 George left the Gospel Lad's and moved to Peoria, Illinois.
George and Nedra began singing together around the area. The
children grew, their voices matured, and one by one they began singing
with Mom & Dad.
Rhonda, David, Rachel, Kenny, & Andy
are all loving and serving the Lord today.
With this the "Melton Family Singers"
became established. Each of the children have sung in the
group at one time or another. The family has grown, and George
& Nedra now have twelve grandchildren: Alisa, Anna, Sam, Bailey,
Brooklyn, Carver, Mckenna, Trevin, Kyle, Kadence, DeLaney, and McCabe. Today, the group is
made up of George and Nedra and their son, Kenny. The Melton Family Singers travel more than 75,000
miles a year... trying to be home one week a month. |

Kenny Melton
Kenny is one of five of the Melton children. He is an ordained
minister and grew up singing with his family, The Melton Family
Singers in 1988. Kenny continued traveling with the family until
1998 when he joined his twin sister Rachel Worthington, and
formed a group Crosswalk. Crosswalk was very successful and
traveled full-time for nine years. Crosswalk ministered on an
average: 25 revivals, 4 Vacation Bible Schools and 250 concerts
a year. It was a glorious time. Once again in late 2007, Kenny
had the opportunity to travel again in full-time service with
his parents. Kenny is known well for his inspiring, humorous
testimony, and warm personality. He desires to travel with his
family in a singing ministry for as long as possible. Kenny will
often say he thinks of himself as a Musiconary - a musician and
a missionary in one. Kenny's personal goal is to inspire the
saints and win the lost to Christ. |
