          James Granger, the late David L. Bond, and the late John Otis Williams organized The Soul Converters in 1960. In keeping with family tradition, three of John's brothers are currently members of The Soul Converters. The original name of the group was The Converters, but a former booking agent recognized their soul inspiring singing and changed their name to The Soul Converters. In later years, the group became known as Deacon Williams and The Soul Converters, dubbed by their fans.

         The Soul Converters have performed in numerous cities and states around the country, such as Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania, Connecticut, North and South Carolina, Delaware, and New York, their home base. The group continues to sing songs of the traditional and soul stirring gospel music that has made them famous to their families, friends, and especially their fans. Some of their hit songs include; He Touched Me, Never Too Late, Can't Stop Serving You, Trust Him, Dear Lord, and Just As I Am.

         This group has graced the stages with some of gospel music's greatest artists, such as The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Shirley Ceasar, Willie Neal Johnson and The Gospel Keynotes, The Dixie Hummingbirds and many, many more. The Soul Converters continue to perform with their unique style of singing God's praises. As you listen to the songs on this CD, I hope they will continue to inspire you as the song of the past. As you listen to Deacon Williams sing, Feel A Shout Coming On, All The Way and his brother James singing Too Hard For Man and I Can't Win you will see how this group has touched so many lives.

The group's band is comprised of Elmer Phillips, Lovell Roscoe, Matthew Taylor and Randy Stallings.
