FORMERLY FEATURED ARTISTS
Greater
Vision.
This trio is one of my personal favorites and they have amassed a
long list of awards and number #1 hits which shows how much they are
loved by their peers and fans alike. The vocals and the
rich harmony Greater Vision has become noted for are a result of the
blending of three unique and versatile vocalists.
Gerald Wolfe, former Cathedrals pianist
and vocalist and the group’s founder, sings the lead. Prolific
songwriter, Rodney Griffin, handles the
baritone part for the trio. Jason Waldroup,
the group’s youngest member, provides the exceptional tenor part.
Greater
Vision's newest
recording features nine songs written by Rodney Griffin, as well as
one classic convention-style favorite. Audiences have responded to
the new material, with the first radio single,
“Soon We Will See” being nominated for
Song of the Year for 2002. The second release,
“A Pile Of Crowns”, is quickly becoming one of the most
requested songs on Gospel music radio stations nationwide.
Greater Vision began in 1990
and immediately audiences responded overwhelmingly to their rich
vocal blend and ability to effectively communicate the message of
the Gospel. Since the trio’s formation, they have established a firm
place at the top of the Christian music ladder, being named Trio of
the Year by both The Singing News Magazine
and The Southern Gospel Music Association.
They have also held honors for Song of the Year in 1999 and 2000,
with “My Name Is Lazarus” and
“Just One More Soul”, respectively.
Group members have been recognized individually as well.
Rodney has been named Songwriter of the Year for the last four years
running, Gerald has been named Male Vocalist of the Year for three
consecutive years, and finally, Jason has recently been recognized
by the readers of The Singing News Magazine,
as Gospel music’s Favorite Young Artist for 2002.

The
Believers. A talented southern gospel group out of
Greenville, Kentucky. Also featured is their latest recently released
TAKE IT TO THE PEOPLE album. Five tracks from their album are
currently in rotation on our playlist (below) so be listening and
watching for them to appear.
Stone's Throw
Enough Grace
Other People's Storms
Take It To The People
What A Precious Friend featuring Lily Fern Weatherford
If you've had a chance to see
the group in person or if you own their CD, please let me know and
I will pass on your experience to our listeners. According to
The Believer's bass singer, David Jobe, the group has recently
signed with a new recording company,
Some Dawning Records.
Their What
A Precious Friend song has received some chart action and
features Lily Fern Weatherford. My favorite cut on the album
is Stone's Throw which has a very
poignant message that, despite all odds, God is there for us and in
control. It was written by Gus Gaches from the group Calvary
Construction Company. Gus was also the vocal engineer on this
album.
The Believer's tenor, Sterlin
Hollis, wrote three songs on the album, Enough Grace,
Other
People's Storms and Daddy I'll Do It. The groups founder and
baritone, Elvis Harrison, wrote the title track,
Take It To The
People. Diane Hollis (married to Sterlin) is the lead
singer who does a marvelous job on Enough
Grace. Rounding out the group is Ken Johnson, their
road manager and pianist.
Rebecca
Avery.
An extremely talented Christian artist with SonShine Records. AUTUMN OF YOUR HEART
is the first release
for Rebecca. She has been singing
since childhood, however. Music is her passion and she has been
involved in several choirs in both church and school. She has also
performed in musical theater. Since moving to Sacramento in
1990, Rebecca has continued her passion to sing. She was
the lead vocalist for the band Digable Peace
and also performs with the band Vision.
She has many solo performances in "An Evening in December" a
Broadway style musical produced by First Covenant Church which is
performed at Sacramento's Memorial Auditorium. Her desire is to
minister to the people of God and to touch the hearts of those who
have not yet accepted Him as their Saviour.

The featured song on this album is her
beautifully done
Rest Here A While.
Words and music by Wendy Wills, Lifesong Music Press (BMI).
The song was actually written before September 11th but no more
comforting and fitting song could have been written to help
Christians realize that God is still in control and will never
leave us alone. Her album was produced by Phil Sillas for
SonShine Records. Look for great things from this
marvelous artist.
