    1. No, I do not know if they are still singing. It seems like most of the groups I've posted in this blog are long lost to history.

  3. Hello - I came across Mrs. North's obituary today and thought I would share it with you on this blog. I never knew that I lived 1/2 hour from where she lived. I sure would have enjoyed getting to meet with with all of them again.

  4. I also found Bro. North's obituary today. For some reason this family is strongly on my mind today so I will pray for them. The North's were an awesome bunch.

  5. I grew up going to the Corwin Penecostal Church & i remember the North Family coming to sing at our church. They were awsome & very spiritual. I am very sorry to hear about their mother passing away.

  7. Have been looking for information on The Singing North Family. Saw on facebook a pic of The North Band with Winford in the lead of the pic, looked like maybe Karen was in it also. If anyone has more info would love to contact them. Miss them coming to our home.

  8. My brother David traveled and played the piano for this group for s short period of time. They were surely annointed singers and very talented.

  12. Sharon is outstanding person and a great vocalist. She works with a hospice group and sings to her patients. You can't help falling in love with her voice. God Bless you Sharon!

  16. You can find Karen on FB under Karen Foster. I grew up right across the street from them and they were wonderful people. Their oldest son (he didn’t sing) was married to my Mother’s sister for many years so the North’s grandkids are my cousins. Not sure how to contact the other kids but Karen was always my favorite.
