The Statesmen Quartet

Statesmen Quartet (juga dikenal sebagai Hovie Lister and The Statesmen Quartet) adalah sebuah grup musik southern gospel asal Amerika yang didirikan pada 1948 oleh Pendeta Baptis Hovie Lister. Bersama dengan Blackwood Brothers, Statesmen Quartet dianggap menjadi kuartet gospel berpengaruh dan tersukses pada 1950an dan 1960an dan memiliki pengaruh besar pada artis-artis pada masa itu dari genre gospel, country, pop, dan rock and roll. Bersama dengan hit-hit sepanjang beberapa dekade, Statesmen Quartet meraih beberapa kesuksesan menonjol termasuk menjadi grup Gospel pertama yang meraih kesepakatan menjadi duta merek.
