Kurze Gruppen-Story:
Im Jahre 1935 gründeten David P. ("Dad") Carter, tenor und Mandoline, mit seinem ältesten Sohn Ernest ("Jim"), bass und Gitarre, sowie seinen Töchtern Lola ("Rose"), sopran, und Effie ("Anna"), alto ein Gospel-Quartett, dass sie The Chuck Wagon Gang nannten. Bereits ein Jahr darauf unterschrieben sie bei COLUMBIA und blieben 39 Jahre der Firma treu. In späterer Folge kam es auch dann und wann zu personellen Änderungen, was bei einem so langen Zeitraum nicht verwundert.
