George
McCorkle III son of the late Rev. George McCorkle Jr., renouned pastor and evangelist for over fifty years, sings harmony
for the group with an obvious heartfelt love for the Lord. He grew up in a small central Ohio town of 54 residents. As a youngster
listened to Mom and Dad's 33 record albums of the Blackwood Brothers,the Happy Goodmans, the Lefevers and the Rambos just
to name a few. George started singing at the age of 13 in a teen quartet who performed in churches and schools. In 1984 made
a commitment to God and started singing in a church quartet and in 1988 had the chance join an established group from Columbus,
Ohio called The Crusaders. After 4 years with the Crusaders filled in with the Gloryland Quartet for about a year while their
tenor recuperated from surgery. In 1994 joined the Regal Brothers from Dayton, Ohio where he stayed until the group retired
from the road in 2000. In 2008 God began impressing the urgency of winning the lost before its too late thus The Victory Trio
was born June of 2009 and God has and continues to open door after door for The Victory Trio.
Sharon McCorkle
Sharon, George's wife, was raised in a Christian environment by two dedicated parents that loved
the Lord. She attended private Christian schools. At the tender age of 9 years old she began singing solos in church. A few
short years after graduating high school she became choir director in her church where her love for music grew even more.
He extensive vocal training is evident in her high vocal range and the ability to blend well with others. She not only is
a great vocalist she is also an accomplished pianist. In the 80s she sang with a quartet called Living Waters where she displayed
her love for God through song. There is a wonderful "peace" as she describes it, that comes over her when she sings
about the Lord. When the opportunity arose to sing again she realized what she had been missing. Singing has always been an
important part of my life, Sharon states. The Victory Trio is one more open door that God has provided to share the gospel
with Christian brothers and sisters and with the lost they may come to know the saving power of Jesus Christ in a lost and
dying world. She lost her father in 2006 and before he passed he told her and I quote "you will sing for me again one
day" and she will on the other side, but until then she says she will sing for God and her wonderful mother who is still
here living in Mt. Vernon, Ohio and who is, by the way, very proud of her daughter like most parents would be.
Joyce
Joyce was born into a musical family. The youngest of three siblings, her brother and sister are
talented in many ways, they can play the piano and organ and both play for church currently. She was raised in a church all
her life. Never really wanted to learn to play an instrument...her love was singing. She dreamed of someday singing in a gospel
group back when she was a teenager. She sang in church with her brother and sister until her brother lost his hearing and
was no longer able to. Still the fire burned deep down to get back into singing someday. Now her dream has came true and she
is doing what she loves...singing and winning souls for Christ through song.
