Southern Gospel Fans

Love SGM. Just got home from a Signature Sound service. One of their new songs is Gaither's "This Could Be The Dawning of That Day." They tagged it with "Until Then." WOW.
We're having the Dove Brothers at our church Sunday night.
Do any of you go to the National Quartet Convention?

 

Lifter during all the years I was living in San Diego... I wanted to be close enough to go to NQC...

And now that I am within 120 miles of it... other commitments have kept me from going...

I hope to be able to go this year...

What do you think of the spiked hair that Ernie and the guys are doing now?

I really enjoy the Dove Brothers as well.

God Bless

 

Not a fan of SGM, good lyrics or not.

 

I absolutely LOVE David Phelps singing "No More Night"....his voice and THAT song just puts me on shouting ground EVERYTIME!!!
..gives me goosebumps!
"even so Lord Jesus...COME!"

(I just wish he'd stay away from the CCM stuff and stick to traditional type gospel or southern gospel music...the man has a gift that is too good to see spoiled)

Greg Sr.

 

Ah now, he's just leaving himself room to broaden his veiwing audience.

 

David Phelps is awesome no matter what he sings. Gregory, I agree. I get goosebumps too. lol There is nothing weak about Southern Gospel music. I can stand to listen to some CCM, but not a lot. Too much repitition in the songs. They are almost trance like. Now, give me a good hand clapping, foot stomping, rhythm in my soul type gosptel song and I feel like shoutin', but I also love the beautiful ballad type songs. I usually sing ballads myself as I have a Patsy Cline type voice. There's not much Southern gospel that I don't like.

 

PA, David Phelps sings tenor with the Gaither Vocal Band. You should pick up one of their cds sometime. A few years back, they did a show where they sang the "Star Spangled Banner" accapella. If it's goosebumps you wanta feel, you should listen to them doing that. David Phelps is one of the best tenor singers ever.

I love Carroll Roberson and I have about ten of his cds. I also have quite a few of his accompaniment tapes and sometimes do his songs. Yes, I have a low voice, but it still sounds feminine. We have a 3 night Gospel Songfest every year the first weekend in July at the building where I work, so I have met him many times. We have many of the most famous groups in SGM. Groups like The Hoppers, The Isaacs, Dove Brothers, Ivan Parker, The Freemans, Jeff and Shari Easter, Carroll Roberson, The Bishops (who no longer sing together), Greater Vision, Gold City, the McKameys, the Kingsmen, the Steeles; just to name a few. We have an awesome time. It is my favorite event of the year.

I wish I could go to NQC, but you have to book accomodations a few years in advance because they are booked solid for the next year before this year's event even gets started. I get to listen to some of it on radio as the dj's from our gospel station go every year and broadcast it back to us. I was listening the last year the Cathedrals sang and Glenn Payne was in the hospital dying. While they were on stage, a phone call was made and the whole world heard Glenn talking to George Younce. The whole performance was very moving. Glenn died shortly after that.

 

I love that good old down home Gospel music Whether it's SGM or Bluegrass Gospel.

 

I like the Dartts, if you click the website above that is there website. They are great. Stony is a real nice guy the son, when I was 6 or 7 years old and he was around 15 or 16 I had a crush on him real bad you know the little girl crushes ok you guys have no idea but I do. And woman maybe but I would listen to them all the time. I still have trouble speaking around him when he comes to our church even though he is balding now and unmarried.

 

oh yeah did I metion the gospel cruise they have every year. go to Gospel Fest Cruise homepage BTW the group on there Living Sacrifice are from my hometown. I see them all the time live. They are great I have almost all their Cd's (they just cut a new one). I think.?.?.

 

I like Southern Gospel. I especially like getting southern gospel songbooks and then singing out of them, using the songs. Whoa...powerful songs!!!

I have the same cd. Love it. My dad has heard Carroll Roberson but I don't know if he has any of his cd's

 

I believe that SG is God's music. Greater Vision is probably my favorite group.

 

I listen to the gospel highway online. I will also try posting a pic of me with Greater Vision later and when I can figure how to do so.

 

pc Greater Vision is also one of my favorite groups. They are so awesome. I love their current song "Faces".

 

NQC is the best. We missed it last year; the first miss in years.

I was just listening to Gaither Vocal Band's CD "Everything Good" this morning. I sure do miss the SG greats that have gone on. Jake Hess, Howard & Vestal Goodman, and so many more ... they were fabuloso!
