About Us Footprints Of The Ray Manning Singers “The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord”…Psalm 37:23 -History- The Ray Manning Singers were originally organized as a choir in 1971, in Kansas City, Mo. The were founded by Ray and Marvelyn Manning, a husband and wife team, who grew up singing in choirs, groups and with their families. They had no problem enlisting others (family & friends), who desired to sing and minister via Gospel music. As they began to travel, the choir quickly became an ensemble; then a group. They have continued since, as a group.
