Prayer, He's Alive, Lord Send Me A Refuge, She's Not Crying Anymore, and a song
he co-wrote with his son Eric, Jesus Has Conquered The Grave, which was their first
top ten song. Ernie says it has been like a dream come true being able to travel
with his wife and two sons and minister. Ernie has had many health prblems to overcome
such as two open heart surgeries, along with two heart attacks, and being a diabetic.
Ernie was raised by his Aunt and Uncle, Grace and Robert Cleveland, in Orme, Tn.
Their were 11 children raised in a three room house along with his birth Mom, Bertha
Dawson, she is Deaf, she was struck by lightning as a little girl. Ernie has never
known his birth Dad. He was raised very poor, taking baths in an old metal tub,
wearing clothes with holes in them, wearing shoes with cardboard in the bottom so
his feet wouldn't blister. Being ridiculed for not having a daddy. Many times having
to go without a meal because there was no food in the house. Hard times are something
he has grown accustom to, but God has kept him going through it all.
Linda Dawson

for doing the office work for the group, getting directions for their travels, she
is also responsible for keeping product for the table, mailing out orders, etc.
You will mainly find Linda behind the product table at all their singings. Linda
was born in Mississippi, her Parents are Virgil and Jean Harrison. She is one of
eight children. She was also raised very poor, but God always provided. "Linda
says she feels God has put her in this place to be a help and a blessing to anyone
she can.
Eric Dawson

Bus, He runs the sound for the group. He does a lot of the maintenance on the Bus,
He Loads and Unloads the equipment. Eric also co-wrote the groups first top ten
song "Jesus Has Conquered The Grave." Eric, as you can tell does a lot
for the ministry, but never complains about what he does. "Ernie says: He's
my right arm, I don't know what I would do without him."Eric says: I just love
the Lord, and I love my family, and I hope that something we sing or say touches
someones life, That's why we do what we do.
Landon Dawson
Landon Dawson, Ernie and Linda's youngest son will steal your heart. All he has
ever known is gospel music. Landon almost died at birth, Doctors didn't think he
would survive, but God did. Many times in service he will testify of just how good
God is. He sings with the group every service he can. Landon attends Whitwell Elementary,
and is in the second grade. Landon loves to sing and tells his Dad that one day
he is going to be his Tenor singer. One of his favorite groups is The Dixie Melody
Boys. That's where he learned to throw his jacket by watching them. Landon says
that everyone should live for Jesus, and I agree, Don't you?
