NASHVILLE, Term. -
D.P. Carter and his wife,
Came met at a singing
convention school. They
loved music and all their
children grew up liking it
too.
Deciding there should be a
quartet in the family, Dad
called together three of his
nine children, Rose, Anna,
his oldest son Earnest (Jim),
along with himself—to make
up the Carter Quartet.
In less than a year they
had a popular radio
program, but the desire for
greater outreach led them to
the big city of Ft. Worth.
Upon learning some of the
smaller stations did not need
a singing group, they
auditioned for WRAP, one of
the nation’s largest stations.
The station hired them
immediately, and a
Saturday program called
The Round Up followed.
When they left the station,
the Carter Quartet, who had
only been with the station
three months, was asked to
assume the name Chuck
Wagon Gang along with a
radio program of the same
name. Their program of

western songs and one
gospel feature was heard
five days a week.
Because ninety percent of
the requests demanded
gospel, the group soon
dropped the western songs.
The program lasted fifteen
years.
Meanwhile, Don Law of
Columbia Records heard
them, and phoned to ask if
they would like to make
records. Later that year,
1936, at a small studio set up
in a San Antonio hotel, the
Chuck Wagon Gang
recorded their first song,
The Son Hath Made Me
Free. They remained with
the same company for forty
years, an achievement
unparalleled by any other
gospel group. During those
years, the group has sold
millions of albums and
singles.
In the early fifties, the
Gang began 10-day personal
appearance tours. These
tours brought brothers Roy
and Eddie Carter into the
group, as well as the late
Howard Gordon, Anna’s
husband, guitarist for the
group. Turning to television

According to the USDA’s

guests on several programs,
and later co-hosts on their
own program Gospel

noted Gospel quartet, will be
appearing at 8 p.m. tonight,
