Formed in Baltimore, the Trumpeteers evolved from another gospel group known as the Willing Four. Joseph E. Johnson (lead vocals), an alumnus of the Willing Four and the Golden Gate Quartet, put the Trumpeteers together with James Keels (bass), Raleigh Turnage (tenor), and Willie MacNair (baritone) in 1946.[1][2] Like similar gospel groups, the quartet adopted the Golden Gate Quartet's jubilee style, and began broadcasting jingles and promotions on WCAO radio in Baltimore for a sponsoring shoe company. Not long after, the Trumpeteers were offered a regular broadcast spot by CBS Radio to replace the recently departed Jubalaires.[3]
