Calvin and Lillie Wills sang together for most of the last 40 years of the Wills Family’s 60 year career. Calvin was the  oldest brother of the seven children of Aaron Burr Wills and he knew from early childhood that he wanted to sing Gospel Music for the rest of his life. When “Pop” Wills formed the first family group in 1938 with Calvin and the two oldest sisters, Eva Rene and Lou, he surely had no idea that the Singing Wills Family would continue their successful music career for over six decades. Calvin was caught in a surprise when he was inducted into the Texas Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1997. His long time partner and co-founder, Tom Ellis, served up the induction along with sister Lou. So many friends and fans of Calvin and the Wills Family through the years have acknowledged his profound contribution to the industry and ministry of Gospel Music. Some called him “Mr. Gospel Music of Texas!!”
