The
long history of the Booth
Brothers starts when Ron
Booth Sr. was a teenager and
formed the original group
with brothers Charles Booth,
James Booth, and Wallace
Booth after moving to
Detroit in the late '50s.
They sang locally and
regionally until 1963 when
Ron Sr., disbanded the group
and started singing with the
Toney Brothers. Though the
success of these quartets'
never achieved much more
fame than the musical
portion of the neighborhood
church picnic, Ron Booth Sr.
was a deeply spiritual and
musical person after he
married and moved south to
Brandon, FL, he had two sons
and raised them to be
musicians.
Michael and Ronnie began
traveling with their father
as The Booth Brothers after
difficult circumstances had
led them apart and a healing
years later brought them
back together. The three
would sing together and Ron
would share the story of his
healing from alcoholism.
Father and sons ministered
for the next eight years,
playing wherever God opened
the doors. But in 1998, some
health problems determined
that it was time for Ron to
step down from the stage. He
continues to travel with the
group, running the sound and
lending his fatherly
support.
In
1990, the youngest of his
sons, Michael Booth, formed
the second incarnation of
the Booth Brothers by
recruiting his father and
brother Ronnie Booth II.
With the addition of pianist
Tim Sievert, the quartet
started singing under the
name Ron Booth and the Booth
Brothers. A few years later,
Sievert left the band due to
increasing hand problems,
but they continued as a
trio. They self-released
Beyond the Cross with help
from arranger/composer
Mosie
Lister. In 1993, their first
popularity surged after an
appearance at the Grand Ole
Gospel Reunion and they
again shortened their name
to the Booth Brothers. They
released their first Morning
Star recording, Praise God
Any How, in 1995 and after
Ron Booth Sr. retired, he
was replaced by former
Perfect Heart member
Joseph
Smith. The lineup of Smith,
Ronnie Booth Jr., and
Michael Booth still exists.
The group was awarded the
SGMA Artist of the Year in
1999. ~
