Gospel Quartets

written by: webbie1960
 
If you are like me and enjoy the rich sound of gospel harmony, then you will probably know most of the answers to these questions that cover just a small segment of the many great gospel quartets out there in the past 50 years.

Question 1:


This group, formed in 1964, was known as the epitome of class in the gospel quartet circles. The two mainstays of the group were lead singer Glen Payne and bass singer George Younce.
The Stamps Quartet
The Cathedrals
The Blackburn Brothers
The Blue Ridge Quartet

Question 2:


This quartet was formed in Mississippi in 1934 during the heart of the Great Depression. In 1954 the group won the Arthur Godfrey talent contest and then just sixteen days later two of the mainstays of the group were killed in a plane crash. Shorlty thereafter J.D. Sumner joined as bass, but it was James Blackwood that kept the group moving forward.
