Consisting of siblings Ronny, Yvonne, Kenny and Larry, they first sang together in 1967 after being asked to sing during revival services at a small church in Freedom, California. Though they had never sung together as a unit, they soon found themselves a popular favorite in churches and concert appearances along the west coast of the United States. Initially, they were known as The Singing Hinson Family. However, as time and their popularity progressed they became known simply as The Hinsons. Later, they were known as The Original Hinsons. Younger brother Larry tells the story behind the Hinsons signature song: "It was written in 1970, in the downstairs bathroom of a church then called "The Pentecostal Tabernacle." We had been rehearsing songs that Saturday evening and found the necessity to have new material to stage. Ronny disappeared for several minutes, only to return to the church sanctuary brandishing a long fluttering piece of toilet paper. After some collaboration with Kenny the world-famous song "The Lighthouse" was born. It was first recorded the next year by The Goodmans and then by The Hinsons. Songs of Calvary and Journey Music, (then owned by Rusty Goodman), co-published the song. The Lighthouse quickly became a huge hit in southern gospel and remains one of the most recorded songs in all of southern Gospel. From 1973 till 1979 The Hinsons were the co-hosts of the popular television show "The Gospel Singing Jubilee." For over a year, the Hinsons maintained at least four songs in the monthly top ten of southern gospel music. Although the Hinsons were an extremely popular touring group, they were considered radical for their concert style, which was far more ministry oriented than most of the more established professional groups. Always innovators, the group recorded several albums in the 1980s that changed the face of their industry with an eclectic mix of songs and styles ranging from traditional southern gospel, contemporary Christian, and what would soon become known as Country gospel. <img src="https://th.bing.com/th/id/R.064203f9e3083e9a8ab1e3142a5b0f3c?rik=5sNkpXP27H9rsg&pid=ImgRaw&r=0" alt="John Starnes - The Lighthouse - YouTube"> <img src="https://i.pinimg.com/736x/2b/fe/65/2bfe65af38837f8b2ced1ccf650e2040--the-lighthouse-lighthouses.jpg" alt="The Hinsons - The Lighthouse | Lighthouse"><img src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/g2Sb4DUyJ4s/hqdefault.jpg" alt="The Lighthouse - John Starnes - YouTube">
