Enjoying
50 years of full time music ministry, this group continues
to create popular sounds with strong biblical
lyrics & quality Southern Gospel Music.
Originally
known as The Sego Brothers & Naomi, this group
began gaining exposure in the late 1950's. James Sego, along
with his wife Naomi and brothers W.R. and Lamar, hosted a popular
television program on WMAZ- TV in Macon, GA. It was during this
time they traveled to Nashville, TN and recorded their first
hit that would gain them national recognition, "Is My Lord
Satisfied With Me". However, superstardom came in 1962 when
The Sego Brothers & Naomi became the first group in history
to record and sell 1 million records with the song "Sorry,
I Never Knew You". The rest of the 1960's saw them touring
the globe with many other hit songs. During the 1970's their
popularity increased with performances on the popular TV show "The
Gospel Singing Jubilee". Perhaps one of their biggest songs
came along during that time as they enjoyed the success of the
chart topper "Hallelujah Square".
The
late 1970's saw tragedy as well as success. In 1979 James Sego,
Naomi's husband, passed away. During the 1980's Naomi continued
to travel and record. She remarried, to a Texas evangelist named
Vernon Reader, and the group underwent a name change to Naomi & The
Segos. Vernon passed away in October of 1998.
Now,
in their 5th decade of Gospel Music ministry, this group continues
to press forward for the cause of Christ. Traveling
some 200 dates a year all over the United States and Canada,
the message of this group remains strong and powerful. Perhaps
it is each group members own personal experience with God that
continues to drive their excellence in performance and ministry.
Naomi & The Segos is a legendary name in Gospel Music. With
their traditional sounds, musical excellence, and sincerity,
they produce a message that will lead people to Christ.
NAOMI SEGO: Naomi is one of the first 5 ladies of Gospel Music.
