Alphus LeFevre

Born: March 02, 1912 in Smithville, Tennessee, U.S.A. Died: December 09, 1988 in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A. Alphus LeFevre first sang in a trio with his older siblings, Urias and Maude. They first sang professionally as the LeFevre Trio in the early 1920s. He and his brother Urias sang with several other groups over the next few years. Ultimately, they formed a new version of the Lefevre Trio in 1934 with Urias’ wife Eva Mae. Alphus arranged music for the trio and was a talented performer, playing a variety of instruments ranging from the guitar to the accordian. He quickly earned a reputation as a master musician, seemingly comfortable on any instrument. He was particularly adept at strings and, throughout his career, was sought as a music teacher by aspiring Gospel musicians. Awards: GMA Hall Of Fame (1996), SGMA Hall Of Fame (2002)
