SMGA Hall of Fame 2013 Inductees

The SGMA announced this year's Hall of Fame inductees last week. I was so glad to see Tim Riley honored in this year's class. He's still one of the best bass singers in the business. Also, great to see some of the Lewis Family honored as well. I recognize names of the others, but honestly don't know much about them.

Here's the full release:

Pigeon Forge, TN -- The Southern Gospel Music Association’s (SGMA) Induction Committee Chairman, Dr. Jim Goff, announced the 2013 Inductees to the SGMA Hall of Fame. They are, in the deceased category, John T. Benson, Jr. and Thomas A. Dorsey. In the living category, Polly Lewis Copsey, “Little” Roy Lewis, Duane Nicholson and Tim Riley.
