Rev. Roy E. Davis, William Branham’s mentor and leader of multiple white supremacy groups, was famous in the religious entertainment industry. Roy Davis and Allie Lee Garrison — the girl at the center of the Mann Act investigation in Louisville — were nationally-recognized radio performers with a stage act "Jack and Granny". Davis was one of the original members of the Stamps Gospel Quartet, gaining recognition in gospel radio. As "Jack", Roy Davis worked with religious celebrities Dr. John Roach Straten, pastor of the Calvary Baptist Church in New York, Dr. Caleb A. Ridley, pastor of the Central Baptist Church in Atlanta and supreme religious chaplain of the Klan, evangelist Billy Sunday, and others.

During the 1930s, the "Jack and Granny" act was widely popular. The fame enabled Davis to enter the Pentecostal and Nazarine revivals as entertainment.

In 1943, Davis was elected master of ceremonies for the State Convention of the California Singers and Musicians Association, where (as "Jack"), he sang with the Blackwood Brothers Quartet, the Willis Singers, Mayme Starke, Leonard Gordon, and his Hollywood Singers, the Western Vaughn quartet, the Stamps-Baxter quartet and more.

By that time, however, Davis had married Garrison, removing all questions as to whether the church scandal in Branham’s early days as a minister was true.
