When the TGMHF began inducting music groups in 2005 (mostly quartets), near the top of the list of Texas favorites was the Rangers Quartet. Formed by two brothers from Italy Texas, Arnold and Vernon Hyles started the quartet after attending the Stamps-Baxter School of Music in Dallas. In 1936 The Rangers worked as Good Will Ambassadors for the Texas Centennial Celebration at the State Fair. For this work the Governor, James Allred, commissioned them as Honorary Texas Rangers (the name stuck). Also in the group were Walter Leveritt, Denver Crumpler and pianist David Reece. They were one of the first professional music groups in Gospel Music traveling all across the country and making live radio appearances from Georgia to Kansas to Texas.
