Group history

The Booth Brothers was initially formed in the 1950s by Ron Booth, Sr. with his brothers Charles, James, and Wallace, after they moved to Detroit. However, Ron decided to disband the group in 1963 when he joined The Toney Brothers.[2]

In 1990, Ron's youngest son, Michael (b. October 8, 1971), decided to revive the group with his brother Ronnie II (b. June 28, 1965), and his father. They started performing and touring around Florida and recorded several albums. In 1998, Ron decided to retire and the remaining brothers started looking for a replacement. They recorded several albums with Joseph Smith, who was later replaced by Jim Brady (b. May 19, 1970). Brady remained with them until 2014, at which point he was replaced by Paul Lancaster (b. February 23, 1968).

gollark: No, your config file is literally just weird code.
gollark: Anything else is <:bees:724389994663247974> because it means your "config" is very strongly tied to the actual code.
gollark: > my current website serves various domains and uses different route configs for different domainsIf they're *very* different between each domain, then you should probably just specify the domains in the config file and have the routes per domain be fixed.
gollark: Specifically the bit before the ? or # and after the domain, generally. At least for routing.
gollark: What?
