On Monday and Tuesday of this week, I shared some old gospel favorites from the Cathedral Quartet. The songs on these particular albums were made by in the 1960's and 1972. Those who sang for the Cathedrals during the 1960's and early 70's were George Younce, Glenn Payne, Danny Koker, Lorne Matthews, Mack Taunton, and Roy Tremble. I thoroughly enjoy old gospel recordings. I never cease desiring to listen to them. It's difficult to find gospel recordings that remotely resemble those of yesteryear. Most of my favorite gospel groups are those that sang years ago. Many of those gospel singers are no longer alive. Gospel greats such as the Goodmans (Howard, Vestel, Rusty, and Sam), Jake Hess, George Younce, Brock Speer, Glenn Payne, Dottie Rambo, to name a few, have passed away. I know I may sound prejudiced, but it's difficult to find many Southern Gospel quartets today that possess the same, unique sound as those in years past. Today gospel music's trend is shifting towards the modern-day contemporary sound. Much of the gospel singing of the past had the anointing and blessings of God on it. Today, the gospel singing industry is nothing more than entertainment, for the most part. Gospel music should be used to uplift and glorify the Lord. It should be used to worship the Lord. Psalms 92:1 says, "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the LORD, and to sing praises unto thy name, O Most High."
