 Notes  
     The younger brother of gospel vocalist and choir director Edwin
     Hawkins, Bishop Walter Hawkins was one of gospel's most successful
     performers. The leader of the Love Center Choir, Hawkins led the
     group to two Dove Awards, presented by the Gospel Music Association,
     and multiple Grammy nominations. The group's debut album, Going Up
     Yonder, released in 1975, spent several months on the Top 40 gospel
     chart compiled by Billboard. Their second album, Love Alive II, sold
     nearly 300,000 copies. This was surpassed by their third album, Love
     Alive III, which topped the million sales mark.
     Hawkins gave very little thought to a career in music until 1968. In
     an attempt to raise money to send the Ephesian Church of God in
     Christ's youth choir, directed by Edwin Hawkins, to a convention in
     Washington, D.C., Hawkins helped the group record an album, Let Us
     Go into the House of the Lord. Although initial plans called for the
     album to be sold locally, it became an international success when a
     single, "Oh Happy Day," sold more than a million copies. The group
     subsequently toured as the Edwin Hawkins Singers.
     In the early '70s, Walter Hawkins left the group to pursue a career
     on his own. After earning a Master of Divinity degree from the
     University of California in Berkeley, he founded the Love Center
     Church in Oakland. Two years later, he returned to the Ephesian
     Church of God in Christ to record an album, Going Up Yonder, with
     the Love Center Choir. In addition to continuing to work with the
     Love Center Choir, Hawkins periodically collaborated with his
     brother and other family members. While he joined his brother to
     record an album with the Oakland Symphony, he wrote and produced an
     album, Baby Sis, for his youngest sister, Lynette, in 1985. The same
     year, he wrote and produced one tune, "Everybody Ought to Know," on
     The Search Is Over, the debut solo studio album by his wife,
     Tramaine Hawkins.
     In 1988, he joined with the Hawkins Family to record the album
     Special Gift. Three years later, he co-produced and served as
     musical director and arranger for a Grammy-winning album, Tramaine
     Live, by his now ex-wife.
     Hawkins' solo debut "Selah", cut in 1972 for Fantasy.
