The Marksmen Quartet joined producers Randall Franks and Alan Autry for the In the Heat of the Night cast CD “Christmas Time’s A Comin’” performing “Jingle Bells” with the cast on the CD released on Sonlite and MGM/UA for one of the most popular Christmas releases of 1991 and 1992 with Southern retailers. The group also provided background vocals for Anne Marie Johnson‘s performance of “Little Drummer Boy.” Earle’s wife Shirley painted the painting featured on the cover of the CD.
