About The Blind Boys of Alabama
The Blind Boys of Alabama are living legends. Founded at the Alabama Institute for the Negro Blind in 1939, the group has been making music for longer than most genres have existed. They’ve won five Grammy Awards, been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame, and received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Their harmonies are the foundation of American gospel music, and their influence extends well beyond church walls — you can hear their DNA in soul, R&B, and rock and roll.
