Former Kingdom Heir now King of the Air!

This is a cross post from my Knoxville Trivia blog, originally posted Oct 1, 2007.
Knoxville's high-flying land developing tenor

I was surprised yesterday when I opened up my Sunday News Sentinel and there on the front page, was an old familiar face. It was none other than Wayne Mitchell. Who is Wayne Mitchell you ask? Well, he just happens to be one of the best tenor singers that has ever came out of Knoxville, TN. I remember Wayne from way back in the day, when he went to my Papaw Spencer's church (North Acres Baptist). He also used to sing with my Uncle Ronnie in the King's Servants Quartet. He left the King's Servants to be a founding member of the Kingdom Heirs of Dollywood fame. He was with the Kingdom Heirs from 1981-1987. Like I mentioned in this post, if I hadn't of been so young and stupid I could have sang with him. Nowadays he is a land developer and apparently a pilot! Pretty cool.

The picture below is of the King's Servants. It was on the back of one of their albums, Wayne is circled in red.
