Born July 10, 1936, in Mars Hill, North Carolina, Eldridge Fox became one of Southern Gospel Music's leading figures. 

Known affectionately as "Foxy" by his peers, he began his career with the Silvertones in 1952 and subsequently sang with the Ambassadors. In 1957, Fox joined the Kingsmen Quartet, and, under his guidance, the group evolved into one of Southern Gospel's premier quartets, with countless industry and fan awards to their credit.
