Hal Kennedy, a Pensacola, Florida, country music DJ, who joined the Dixie
Echoes in the 60's and became a major hit. His recording of "Walking My Lord
Up Calvarys Hill" sold tons of records. The group became know as "The Dixie
Echoes with Hal Kennedy" for many years. This photo was taken at a political
event for then Alabama Governor George Wallace. The Dixie Echoes and Hal
Kennedy made numerous appearances with Governor Wallace during several
gubernatorial campaigns.
