Willing Four

US gospel group, that recorded for Regis/Manor in c. 1943. Members: Joseph Johnson, Walter Holden, George Thomas, Vincent Simpson. "This group is not connected with the groups of the same name which recorded on Checker and Jewel after 1943." (Blues and gospel records 1890-1943 (1997), p. 1046). Cedric Hayes & Bob Laughton's "Gospel discography 1943-1970" (2007), however, list the Checker and Jewel group as being one and the same - see Willing Four (2).
