The Nelons – “Kelly Nelon Thompson & The Nelons” (1993)
As the old saying goes, “the only thing constant is change”, and 1993 brought more changes for the Nelons. As I mentioned in the last article, with over 35 years of singing professionally under his belt, Rex had decided that it may be time for retirement. Some of the details are a bit murky and the timeline may not be 100% clear, but after Kelly had struck out on her own as a solo artist, she had started her own group called Kelly Nelon Thompson & Legacy, with her husband Jerry, along with Kelly Benton (soprano) and former Nelon’s pianist, Stan Whitmire. At some point after Rex had decided to retire, Kelly essentially merged her group with the Nelons (or Rex joined Kelly’s group, depends on how you want to look at it!) and Kelly took over the management duties of the Nelons, thereby relieving Rex from that responsibility.

Who Are The Nelons? What to Know About the Gospel Group Struck by Tragedy
3 Members of The Nelons Family Gospel Group Dies in Plane Crash
The Nelons lived, breathed and sang their faith.
Kelly Nelon Clark, husband Jason Clark and her daughters Amber Nelon Kistler and Autumn Nelon Streetman had been recording together for a decade, the latest incarnation of the family-rooted gospel group started in the 1970s by Kelly's father Rex Nelon.
They'd been on a tear at the Absolutely Gospel Awards since Kelly—who started performing with her dad as a child—was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2017. Jason was named Producer of the Year in 2021, and in 2022 Autumn was named Female Vocalist of the Year, an award won by her sister in 2014.
She's now the only surviving member of the Georgia-based quartet following a plane crash July 26 that killed Kelly, 64, Jason, Amber, 35, and her husband Nathan Kistler, 34, the band's assistant MelodiHodges, pilot Larry Haynie and his wife, Melissa Haynie.
