The Gospel Greats with Paul Heil

Quartet singing has always provided the foundation for the style we know as Southern Gospel music. On this edition for the weekend of September 7^th … all of Paul’s songs will be by quartets! Included will be a special segment remembering one of the greatest quartets of relatively recent times, the Cathedrals. You’ll also hear what two top trios sound like as quartets. Our All Quartets Edition also celebrates the start of Southern Gospel music’s biggest annual event, the 2013 National Quartet Convention in (for the final time) Louisville, Kentucky.

And, his Featured Artists will be one of today’s best-known and most-loved quartets, Triumphant. You’ll hear songs from their current CD, “The Greatest Story.” And they’ll explain how they chose the 15 songs for this recording, two of which have already been radio hits. You’ll hear two songs written by group member Scotty Inman. And they’ll explain the simple reason why they’re now going by “Triumphant” rather than “Triumphant Quartet.”

And, Paul’s other guests include Scott Fowler (Legacy Five); Ernie Haase (Signature Sound); Mark Trammell (Mark Trammell Quartet); Bill Gaither (Gaither Vocal Band) and Michael Booth (Booth Brothers).

Finally, the Headline Update reports on Special features at this year’s National Quartet Convention … and a reminder about the sing-with-Cathedrals-alumni contest!
