The Chuckwagon Gang

The Chuckwagon Gang

The Chuck Wagon Gang

 

The Chuck Wagon Gang is a multi award winning Southern Gospel musical group that was formed in 1936 by founding member D.P. (Dad) Carter with his son Jim (Ernest) and daughters Rose (Lola) and Anna (Effie).  The "Gang" signed with Columbia Records and remained with them for over 40 years. At one point they were Columbia's number one selling group with excess of over 37 million in record sales.

 

By the late 1970s, the group was still touring but felt a lack of support from the label they had recorded for during the previous forty-one years. Columbia had stopped servicing their songs to radio; thus airplay had become non-existent. Roy and Ruth Ellen Carter talked about it. They asked each other the question: “What can we do to rebuild what Daddy started?” That became the aim: not to make money, but to truly dedicate themselves to rebuilding the group to the strongest position it had enjoyed in years past. It was at this point starting in 1979 that they began recording for Copperfield Records for several years.

 

The Chuck Wagon Gang has performed at Carnegie Hall, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Grand Ole Opry. The group has been elected to the Gospel Music Association's Hall of Fame and the Smithsonian Institution's classic American recordings.
