Champion Sisters’ History

Brenda, Sandra and Molly began their careers singing gospel music at church and at religious and secular functions, their group then called Adoration. The sisters have also toured the United States performing alongside other Christian artists. Their first single recording, “Song For Broken Hearts” hit the top 10 list of Contemporary Christian radio station KSBJ and remained there for more than three months.

Born in Texas, the sisters demonstrated their musical talents at the early ages of four and five. Throughout their early childhood and teen years, the trio developed their three-part harmonizations while singing along with their favorite artists.

The trio continues the legacy built by their late father, George Champion, a talented musician who performed alongside world famous country and western artists. He also was a longstanding guest on Utah Carl’s Gulf Coast Jamboree television show in Houston, Texas.

After a hiatus from the music industry, the Champion Sisters resumed their singing career in 2000 under the direction of renowned Texas pianist, composer and producer, as well as longtime family friend, Paul English.
