In the early 1980s, Carol and George Kline began singing with a gospel/prison ministry group from Harrisburg, PA. When the group disbanded, they formed a small gospel string group featuring George's talent on the five-string banjo. Because of increased interest in hearing "the soft sounds" and low register of Carol's voice, she continued to enlarge her repertoire, singing on her own using professionally recorded accompaniment music.

Again, because of increased interest, Carol continued to add old-time country favorites to honor requests for popular music programs. She included the songs of Tammy Wynette, Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, and many others. Carol's popularity continued to grow and, in April 1999, she performed her first full tribute to Patsy Cline, receiving a standing ovation. Eventually, she added a mixed music program (she calls it her Cabaret-style show) to include Big Band and other old-time popular favorites.

Originally from Delaware, Carol moved to Pennsylvania in 1970. She married George Kline, a Lebanon, Pennsylvania native, in 1981, and believes their relationship is "a precious gift from God!" George is an accomplished musician, but fully enjoys his role as sound technician and musical advisor for his wife, especially since his retirement in March 2001. The Klines now make their home in Sebring, Florida.

Through the years, Carol Kline has worked in promotional design, public relations, holds a certificate in non-fiction writing, worked as a radio personality with her own country music show, served as public relations director in health care settings for almost 20 years, and is a certified activities director. As an entertainer, she has six recordings to her credit. The first, "Blue Moon Of Kentucky," is a compilation of Patsy Cline favorites, and the second, "Touch Through Me," offers some of the best loved old-time gospel favorites.  Both include numerous duets with George.  A Christmas recording ("Christmas With Carol") was followed by "A Sweet Mix," which features two duets with George.  "Love Songs & Praise," produced in 2003, is a compilation of love songs and gospel favorites featuring four duets in addition to two original gospel songs written by Carol Kline herself.  Their newest release -- "I'll Need Time" -- was released in May, 2010, and features the songs of some of the greatest in country music: Jim Reeves, Tammy Wynette, George Jones, Dottie West, Kenny Rogers, and many others.  Numerous duets and even a solo by "Love Bucket" highlights this latest release.

The Klines have performed extensively in Pennsylvania and Florida, in addition to gospel concerts and/or shows in Texas, Ohio, Iowa, Kentucky, Indiana, Delaware, Virginia, Maryland, New York, Tennessee, and Michigan, as well as several appearances at resorts in Branson, MO. In addition, they have performed three shows on the Carnival Cruise ship, Inspiration (January 2003), three shows on Carnival's, Glory, (January 2004), and four shows on the Carnival cruise ship, Liberty (February, 2009).   

The Klines travel in their RV, performing wherever bookings or invitations take them. With their passion for singing still rooted in gospel music, they have touched congregations as well as audiences everywhere. Whether they perform old-time gospel, or their newest country show, whether they sing patriotic or popular favorites, they wrap their hearts around every song. You are sure to enjoy their marvelous harmony and, most of all, you will long feel the warmth of their love for God, Country, and each other!

Personal note: For most of 2010 and 2011, The Klines have not been able to travel and perform during the summer due to the tragic situation with their daughter, Maj. Kristine Ratliff, RN, USAF.  She is continues to recuperate in a long term care facility, but there is hope she will be going home to her family near San Antonio, TX during Spring 2012.  With God's help, we are still confident she will recover her ability to speak and to eat, and to at least function with continued care at her home.  Your prayers are coveted and appreciated!  Carol and George Kline are planning a summer road trip this year, and look forward to visiting old friends, family, and performing in the north and the east, or wherever confirmed bookings take them.
