The Soul Stirrers
American gospel music group
The Soul Stirrers were an American gospel music group, whose career spans over eighty years.[1] The group was a pioneer in the development of the quartet style of gospel, and a major influence on Soul, R&B, Doo-wop, and Southern soul, some of the secular music that owed much to gospel.

The group was formed by (Silas) Roy Crain, launching his first quartet who sang in a jubilee style, in 1926 in Trinity, Texas, United States.[1] In the early 1930s, after Crain moved to Houston, he joined an existing group on the condition that it change its name to The Soul Stirrers: this name yields from the description of one of Roy Crain's earlier quartets as "soul-stirring".
Among the members of that group there was R.H. (Rebert) Harris, who soon became its musical leader.[1] The Soul Stirrers, formed as a jubilee quartet, transformed their sound, influenced by hard gospel singers
