Biography - ARNOLD GODWIN
| Arnold Godwin is well known as a Preacher, Pastor, Singer Songwriter and Recording Artist. His singing is recognized by his distinct, smooth, pop-style, baritone voice. He began singing early in life and was influenced by the big band singers such as Frank Sinatra, Dick Haymes, Bob and Ray Eberle, Perry Como and others. He first sang pop with bands and combos in his teens and upon his graduation and conversion, decided to go into gospel music instead of secular. Early in His ministry, He turned down offers from Sun Records, Capitol Records, Chess and Checker Records because they wanted him to sing pop, rock and Roll and Rhythm and Blues, but not Gospel. His first professional job as a Quartet singer was with “Horace Floyd and the Sunny South Quartet” This was one of the top Quartets of the day and had featured such singers as James Wetherington, J. D. Sumner, Jake Hess, Mosie Lister, Lee Kitchens and Others. After a while, He decided to go to Lee University and sing with The Official representative quartet, The “Continental Quartet” Which was made up of former professional singers, A. T. Humpheries (manager and professor), Harvey Hudson, Ted Pendleton, and Arnold. They performed in churches and in concerts with all of the major Quartets and singing groups, promoting Lee. After graduation, He was a part of the “Kingsmen Quartet” made up of Horace Mauldin, Joe Anderson, Paul Hodo, Ted Pendleton, Leon Ellis and Arnold. They were a super Quartet and were offered Recording contracts by King Records, a major label at the time and Also Sun Records who was one of the Hottest independent Labels of The day. The draft broke the group up at the height of their career. He has turned down offers to sing with other major groups, Rebels, Speers, and others, preferring to stay with His ministry. Arnold then went into the Evangelism Ministry, traveling all over The country Preaching and singing. He had started recording with The Continental Quartet and continued recording as a solo ministry. He was appointed Pastor of a church after eight years of evangelist Ministry and continued as Pastor of one church for twenty two Years and watched it grow from a hundred to over seven hundred. He continued to record during this time. He was then involved in administrative work as State Evangelism and Missions Director for eight years. He also pastored a church for two years in between the eight years. The church had phenomenal growth.
