It has been more than 40 years since a group of young men and women made their national television debut on THE ANY WILLIAMS SHOW in the fall of 1962. That group, THE NEW CHRISTY MINSTRELS, would go on to win a Grammy for their debut recording "Presenting The New Christy Minstrels".
Formed by Randy Sparks in 1961, the group had several Top 40 folk music hits, including "This Land Is Your Land', "Green, Green", "Today" and "Ramblin".
Original members who still appear with the group include Randy Sparks, Clarence Treat, Jackie Miller Davidson, Dolan Ellis and Art Podell. Special new members are Becky Jo Benson, Bill Boycott, and when available, Chuck Cole
Randy Sparks continues to write the music and direct the group. Clarence Treat has taken on the responsibility of vocal arrangements.
