Jewel - Cincinnati, Ohio - LPS 166
From the back cover: The quartet consists of Wanda Baker singing lead, Juanita Baker singing alto, Coy Baker singing tenor and Don Baker singing bass and playing rhythm guitar. They reside in and around the Cincinnati area.
Joe Baker is credited with playing bass and second rhythm guitar credit goes to Joe Perry.
Wanda Baker lives in Somerset, KY. Don Baker passed away about 7 years ago after a long battle with heart disease. His brother, Joe Baker and Joe`s wife Juanita still live in Cincinnati, for many years Joe and Juanita were neighbors to Jesse Hutson from the Little Country Trio. Don and Wanda`s son, Don Jr. (known as Donnie) married Donna Jeffers daughter of Loman and Norma Jeffers from The Little Country Trio.
ReplyDeleteDon and Wanda`s children carry on the family tradition of singing gospel.
I remember this record in my parents` collection of gospel albums. I hadn`t seen it in years. Thank you for posting this.

Hi hope you get this message. I am Kandy (Formerly Laub) Margaret Baker was my Grandmother. I am sure we are cousins. Hope this finds everyone well!
DeleteDo you still have the album?
DeleteThis is Donnie Baker the oldest son of Don and Wanda Baker.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to check the address because this is not the house where we lived! 4551 Leslie Avenue is where I grew up during the time this album was made.
My dad, Don Baker passed away on April 29, 2006; almost six years now. Though he had heart trouble, he actually died due to complications from surgery. He had an abdominal catastrophe (he bled out).
Also, Coy was not a Baker. His last name is Barber. Coy has also moved back to the Somerset area (Poplarville, Ky). Original Baker Qt members Don, Wanda, and Coy with the addition of Brenda Durham singing alto had reunited the group and began actively singing again before my dad suddenly passed away.
Donnie Baker
Thank you for sharing Donnie. I've removed the photo of the house.
DeleteThis is Kandy Hugenberg, formerly Kandy Laub. My grandmother was Margaret Evelyn Baker and grandpa, Rev. Eugene Baker. Donnie is my cousin by grandma's marriage to Eugene Baker... would love to find any info or album info on the gospel singing group/s the had as well. I remembering one as the "Queen City Crusader's" (?) I remember all this so fondly!
