William Earl Evans was one of many kids my family...the Lytle and Gilmore family grew up with. He by far always wore a smile and held everyone in a kind and respectful way. He was a member of a few clubs and musical groups but in Kingsport he was one of the Soulful Struts along with me, my twin brother Ronald, Pete Crockett, "Bugs" Horton, Mark McMiller, Billy Ed, and lead singer Wayne Lewis. We did on occasion invite female singers and others like a second drummer. But all in all, William Earl was the leader with the most musicality. We jammed in Bristol, Johnson City, Knoxville, Chattanooga, and areas nearby like Greenville. There will never be another group that the legacy of young African Americans Men to excite and perform like the Soulful Struts. God bless the Evans family, we give thanks for his life and career. And especially growing up with such talent. May he rest in peace
