 Spreading
the eternal message if Christ without compromise is the
foundation and cornerstone of any career in the ministry of
the Gospel. Many talented vocalists and musicians step onto
concert stages across the country each week; however, only
the faithful and dedicated overcome the pressures of life on
the road to delight in the blessings that are reaped by the
faithful servant. Ed O’Neal, whose name has been
synonymous with Gospel Music for over 40 years can certainly
be labeled as on of the faithful and dedicated.
O’Neal joined the Dixie Melody Boys in 1961 and became
owner and manager of the quartet just a few years later.
During the past three decades The Dixie Melody Boys, led by
O’Neal have enjoyed tremendous success, including a Grammy
nomination and numerous Fan Award Nominations from the
Singing News Magazine, Southern Gospel Music’s leading fan
and trade publication. In the realm of personal achievement,
possibly the highlight of O’Neal’s career came in
September of 2000 when he was named recipient of the Marvin
Norcross Award, the highest honor presented at The Singing
News Fan Awards Ceremony each year. He was presented the
Award in recognition of his long-time service to his
community, as well as the Southern Gospel Music industry.
The latest accolade for O’Neal will be his induction into
the Southern Gospel Music Association’s Hall of Fame in
October 2004.
Over the years, The Dixie Melody Boys have been featured on
such popular television programs as the Ralph Emery Show and
Primetime Country. They had appeared at Carowinds Theme
Park, Six Flags Over Georgia, and Dollywood. Southern Gospel
radio stations nationwide consistently fill the airwaves
with the music of The Dixie Melody Boys. Throughout the past
four decades, hit songs have flowed their way in bunches. In
fact, they had enjoyed more that 20 Top 40 hits, including
eight Top 10 releases.
Present group membership includes O’Neal, who provides the
smooth bass vocals. Dustin Sweatman, who hails from Atlanta,
GA, contributes the pleasing baritone vocals for this
popular quartet. The newest member of the group, Dan Keeton
delivers the rich tenor sound.
The thrill and excitement of performing experienced by each
Dixie Melody Boy night after night is most evident at each
concert. Their goal of delivering a first-class performance
filled with excitement, energy and lots of great traditional
Southern Gospel Music, are traits which have proven to play
an essential role in the success they have enjoyed. These
characteristics, united with their desire to never
compromise their responsibility to spread the Gospel through
Southern Gospel Music in a Christ-like, professional manner
have allowed the Dixie Melody Boys to firmly establish their
place at the forefront of Southern Gospel Music.
As the Dixie Melody Boys have found, the miles on the road
may sometimes be long, but God continues to bless the hard
work of His faithful servants, as He continually offers new
excitement with each new endeavor.

Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having
this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let
every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from
iniquity.
