The Cathedrals ..... in admiration

When time permits, and you are in a good mood, I want you to listed to the song on the link below.

It is one of the last appearances of the Cathedrals, a gospel quarter. This was one of, if not the last, appearance they did on their farewell series. The two older gentlemen are George Younce and Glenn Payne, two of the most prominent men in gospel music, they are both gone now.

I think the nicest tribute to them is the reaction of the audience, mostly gospel singers and admirers of theirs, as you can tell by their reactions. At the end of Glenn's last solo, the audience comes to their feet, and to me, the greatness tribute of all is the enthusiastic applause they get from The Statler Brothers. The Statlers have sung to millions, and I think Glenn and George were instrumental in one way or another in their careers, but they are brought to their feet, hands clapping in pure, absolute, admiration. What a tribute that is to ones career.
