    date me, but what Christian group (trio or quartet) would you say most closely mirrors the style/harmony of the secular group The Lettermen?

    To my knowledge, The Lettermen's "Greatest Hit" was probably their medley "Going Out of My Head / You're Just Too Good to be True," that was released in early 1968.

    Told you "This'll REALLY" Date Me, didn't I???? [​IMG] [​IMG]

    Now that was a format! Remember fast forward on a reel-to-reel? It was better than running 331/3 on 45. Don't you just miss skipping records. How about songs being cut off on track 2 and continued on Track 3.

    Why, ktn4eg, what Christian group sounds like the Lettermen? Dove Brothers north of the Mason-Dixon line?? :D

    I like them and i'm only 16, but I also have very good music taste and do not listen to what most teens do.

    ktn, there is a fairly new gospel trio called "Three Bridges" that would get my vote.

    I have always liked the Lettermen.

    I thought 'Sealed with a Kiss' was made Top Ten by Gary Lewis and the Playboys?

    That would also probably be a 'Association' sounding group...

    How about 'Love Song'?

    Why? Who did you have in mind?

    I'm not really "into" SGM (not that I'm necessarily against it--I do like a very few songs in that genre). Don Moen's "God Will Make a Way" would probably be a good example of the style of music that I prefer.

    With that in mind, I again submit my question: "What Christian group (trio/quartet) would you say most closely mirrors the STYLE and harmony of the group 'The Lettermen'?"

    I agree about 'God Will Make A Way', though that, to me, is Worship Music not CCM...

    In that genre I also like 'Heal Me O Lord', and from Shalom Jerusalem, 'In Your Presence'...

    Of course to clear the foyer and get church started I like stuff like 'Stand Up and Give Him the Praise', also on Shalom Jerusalem...

    That's genre I define as prelimienary Praise...
