The Chosen Sons Of God are a Birmingham, Alabama, quartet. The group has been performing since at least 1973; in 1978 the group had consisted of Johnny Blackmon, Cornelius Boyd (lead), Frederick Starks, Philip Smith, Willie (Jay R) Starks, Steve Hill, Harold Blackmon. By 1985 the line-up had changed marginally to now include: 
Cornelius Boyd (Lead) ; Johnny Blackmon (background singer) ; Terry Chamber (Drums); Frederick Starks (Lead Guitar); Willie J. Starks. Jr (Bass) and Jerry Smith (Piano). The group recorded extensively on often small regional labels, including J & B Records; ASL Records; Jamack; Gospel Way Records; Hemphill Records, Sound Of Birmingham and Crown Ltd.  

The Chosen Sons Of God recorded five LP'S and to my knowledge eight 45's.
