About the artist
The Gospel Mountaineers were a 1960s country-gospel group from Columbus, Ohio - members Franklin Tackett, George Hinkle and Wallace Duty - whose single on GMT Records (pressed at QCA, Cincinnati) paired "A Prayer For Daddy In Vietnam" with "He Stood The Test" (1967); the group also cut the LP "Pray For Peace" on the same label.
