Skylite

Skylite

Skylite is a Memphis based gospel music label started by The Statesmen Quartet and The Blackwood Brothers in 1959. Along with The Blackwood Brothers and The Statesmen Quartet, Skylite signed, among others, The Speer Family and the Oak Ridge Quartet (later renamed The Oak Ridge Boys). In 1966, the Statesmen-Blackwood team sold the record company to a group of investors led by Joel Gentry.

History

Amidst the popularity of The Oak Ridge Boys (specifically when they switched to country music and the hit Elvira), many compilations were made with some of the material from their Skylite recordings. Even though Oak's baritone, William Lee Golden only appeared on two Skylite recordings, and Oak's lead, Duane Allen only appeared on part of one, and Oak's bass, Richard Sterban and Oaks tenor, Joe Bonsall appeared on none of these, these covers often showed the current group. Nonetheless, often the same songs are rehashed over several recordings while many others from this era are ignored.

Eventually the Sing Music Company, owned by The LeFevres, was bought and merged with Skylite as Skylite-Sing.Fact|date=April 2008The original masters are rumored to have been destroyed in a fire.
