The four Brooks brothers were born and
raised in the state of Mississippi. By their father being a Baptist
preacher, they started singing at an early age. As they grew older they
moved to Memphis, Tennessee. One of the brothers was then called to the
ministry field. The three remaining Brooks brothers, Mazel, Leroy and
Eddie added two more members and started recording. In 1965 their first
45 was cut at Stax gospel subsidiary Chalice in Memphis. It's their start
of a label hopping career which got them releases on
SongBird, Redi-Soul,
Hummingbird,
HSE,
J&B, and Nasha. It's difficult to get all their releases
in chronological order, especially with several groups of
Christian Harmonizers around. All additions
and corrections are highly appreciated.
