BIO

Virgil Gibson began his amazing career in Birmingham, Alabama at age 9, when he sang at churches with various professional gospel singers. As a teenager, Virgil admired Tony Williams, the original lead singer of the Platters, and he prayed that one day he would sing with the Platters. He became lead singer of the Platters, because according to Virgil, “I asked God and He just fixed it that I could sing with them". Just before being born, Virgil’s mother prayed that God would give her child a "golden voice”. Virgil believes God answered that prayer. Virgil’s personal ministry is to use his God given gifts and bring joy to audiences large and small.
