Paul Owens (gospel singer)
Paul Owens (July 27, 1924 - October 17, 2002) was one of the foremost artists in African American gospel music, performing with the Dixie Hummingbirds, the Swan Silvertones, and the Sensational Nightingales. Born in Greensboro, North Carolina, he started as a soloist with the Israelite Gospel Singers, the Baystate Gospel Singers and the Evangelist Singers, then formed a group known as the Nightingales (not to be confused with the Sensational Nightingales, which featured Julius "June Cheeks") before moving to the Hummingbirds in 1948.
