David & the Giants were truly pioneers in the early days of Contemporary Christian music. David Huff & his twin brothers, Rayborn & Clayborn, were born into the Kingdom of God in 1977 & spent the next 20+ years ministering in churches across the U.S. & around the world. During this time, D&G also had many other members such as Keith Thibodeaux on drums from 1979-1989, as well as Lance Huff, Kellye Huff, Gerald Hagan, & Dennon Dearman. While David W. Huff continues his career as a solo artist, the Huff brothers do continue to perform on occasion as, David & the Giants. This page is a tribute to their ministry & to all of the great songs & memories they have given us through the years.

In the 60's & 70's, David & the Giants were a very successful Rock 'n' Roll band, & played with many famous groups & artists such as; Styx, Black Oak Arkansas, Cheech & Chong, The Rolling Stones, Rod Stewart, Chuck Berry & Stevie Wonder to name a few. They had many regional hits including, "Ten Miles High" & "Superlove. Their drummer, Keith Thibodeaux, was the former Little Ricky on the "I Love Lucy" show. Keith would eventually leave D&G because of his decision to serve the Lord, but would later re-join the new "Christian" David & the Giants in 1979. Keith is pictured above with the rest of the band. (Thanks to Richard Ball, for the touch-up work on this old pic.)

Here are some very EARLY promo pics of David & the Giants. Jerry Parker, is the drummer that's pictured here. This old promo ad for the 45 record, "Ten Miles High", is from approximately 1968. This 45 still sells at a high price in some places. The original 45 was released on the Crazy Horse label with the song, "I'm Down So Low" on the B side. It was later reissued on Capitol records with "Superlove" on the B side. "Ten Miles High" was apparently a popular disco tune, but was later re-recorded with Christian lyrics (& better quality) on the "Almost Midnight" album in 1980.
