Mr. Charles Walker

Charles Walker 1

Charles Walker has committed over 40 years to excellence in the arts and community outreach. When you talk about top gospel groups in the Houston area, one very important name resonates among many Quartet Groups… Charles Walker.  In the early 80’s, Charles Walker formed a group with his sons (Charles Jr., Chris, and  Ernest), called The Walker Brothers.  At an early age, they shared the stage with many gospel legends, including The Mighty Clouds of Joy, Shirley Caesar, The Gospel Keynotes, Willie Banks, and many more.  The Walker Brothers was the springboard that catapulted the men to collective and individual successes in the music industry.  Mr. Walker’s strong love for God was the driving force behind the group success and remains at the forefront of all their lives.
