This blog features the many gospel albums I find. 90% of the records featured here were created by local Cincinnati, Ohio area artists (on Jewel, Rite and Queen City record labels among others). Here you will find the Good, Bad & Ugly but never The Lackluster! If there are copyright issues or a problem with any post, just contact me and I will make corrections. I'm here to have fun and hope you will share in my process of discovery!

If this is the same North Family that sang songs like,Jesus will outshine them all,I've come to far to look back,I'm going up,to be with Jesus,and many more. Please contact me at vesselofgod30@yahoo.com. my family enjoyed there songs for a lot of years and I would love to purchase some of their material. I love the way they sing onto thr Lord.
hey anonymous. their records will be almost impossible to find since they have been out of print for many years.i was the first drummer on one of their early (1967-68} records and had no luck finding a copy.only the last track has drums (ill fly away)its an instrumental.lost my copy somewhere down life's road,maybe ill get lucky and find one at a flea market or yard sale.hope you can find some albums on your quest.
wow, hadn't heard anything from these guys for years..they used to come to our church in germantown ohio,3 or 4 times a year. loved them. last time i saw them was in 1979 on news year church service. i still have one of their eight track tapes. thanks so much for sharing..
I have been searching for music from the North Family for so long! When I was very young they performed at my church and my grandmother had their record, but over time it was lost. For years now when ever I see a stack of records at a flea market, yard sale, or consignment shop, I search for a record by the North Family, but have never been lucky enough to find one. I would absolutely LOVE to have a copy of their music. If any one knows where I could buy their music, or at least point me in the right direction, please email me at terri429@gmail.com. Thanks!
I think that I have every album (unless they released some recently). I even have their CD where they re-united. The last address that I have for them is: 37 Finnel Drive, Chillicothe, OH 45601. Phone: 614-774-4592.
The girls are still alive and well and living near Chillocothe, OH. One of them is a client of my sister (Medical Massage Therapy) and they still sing together ocasionally.

There is one of their songs on you tube "Theres been a lot of changes by the North family" The sister Sharon went to the same church I went to about 25 years ago. She had married and I can't remember her married name.
I just got on here looking for them. I have their "Diamond Enriched Edition" and it's one of my all time favorite albums! Hoping to be able to buy more of their material.....but I guess not.
Back in the late 60 es when the north family started out singing they came to my dad’s church in north side they could sing under the anointing they were a blessing to a lot of people I sure do miss them 🙏🙏🙏
This was 1 of my favorite groups growing up. They would visit Wood Road Church were my family attended church at. My mom was one of the Wood Road Singers. You just couldn't beat the harmonies with groups like this. I just found all there albums on google and it took me to youtube to listen to them. What a treat. It just goes to show that your work for the Lord will continue to touch lives that you may never know.
I’ve found that they’ve used at least three variations of their name. All these years I was looking for the North Family but when I finally found the record I have been looking for they called themselves “The Singing Norths”, the album is called Watching and Waiting. I also found albums where they used “The Norths” and of course “The North Family”.
Great vocals!
