The Gospel Greats with Paul Heil

For the weekend of January 12^th … Paul’s Featured Artists on this first “regular” edition of 2013 will be the Gaither Vocal Band, with songs from their new CD, “Pure And Simple.” He’ll visit with all five group members. You’ll learn why the CD title is so appropriate for what they hoped to accomplish with this recording. They’ll tell you all about their first radio single from this CD, a most unusual old song called “Rasslin’ Jacob.” You’ll also hear some new songs that made it to this recording.

As Paul’s had holiday specials for the past few weeks, there was no regular January Top 20 Countdown edition. So this program will include a Top 5 Mini-Countdown based on the January Singing News chart. You’ll find out why the new number one song — from artists who’ve been there many times before —is actually a “first” for them in several ways.

Finally, you’ll hear from these three gentlemen: Ronnie Booth (Booth Brothers) about a man, recently deceased, without whom “the Booth Brothers would not exist.” Gus Gaches of Legacy Five will talk about New Year’s resolutions. Dennis Humphries of HisSong will tell you what he learned from a very difficult 2012.
