Just to clear it up: Tenor - John Rulapaugh, best known for his time with Palmetto State and the Dove Brothers Lead- Arthur Rice, current and long time lead with Kingdom Heirs and formerly with the Kingsmen Baritone - Mark Trammell currently of his own quartet and formerly of Gold City, Greater Vision and the Cathedrals Bass- Gerald Wolfe, really a baritone/lead with Greater Vision All great talents and could be a supergroup.
As for the Baritone, Mark Trammel-Did you know that, before he was with the Cathedrals, he himself was actually with the Kingsmen Quartet, back in the late 1970s? He was on at least one Album with them, and I believe that the Album he was on, was called something like "From out of the past", or something like that...
@@dalebrown7906Exactly! He was with the Kingsmen Quartet back in the late 1970s, and was on the Album "From out of the Past". He was with them for at least that Album. Then, presumably sometime in 1980 or so, he got the invitation from the Cathedrals to come up and be with them. He was with the Cathedrals until about 1990 or 1991, when he left the Cathedrals, and was replaced by Scott Fowler, who, in the Early 2000s, after the Cathedrals disbanded, formed his own group, Legacy 5. Mark Trammel formed his own group, and has continued on singing.
Arthur Rice-The Man that, when he went to The Kingsmen Quartet, immediately became the perfect target for some of Jim Hamill's jokes! He razzed poor Arthur every chance he got, seems like! If you listened to the Kingsmen's 1985 live album, "Better In Person", Jim Hamill states"I didn't like Arthur. I didn't like him none. But my Boss, Eldridge Fox, wanted him in the Kingsmen. He called me, and said "I've got a new guy to play Bass Guitar, and once in a while, sing Lead for us, and I said "Great! Who is it"? He said "Arthur Rice", and I went CLICK!!! I hung up on him! And then , I thought:"That's the Boss I just hung up on", so I called him right back! He said"What happened", & I said "I dunno... must've gotten cut off". He said "I'm gonna send him out on the Road with you, and if he does a good job, we'll hire him! Well...I didn't like him none, but he's our Bass Singer's Cousin, so...we took him with us, and one night we were singin' somewhere, and I decided "Now is the perfect time, to put Ol' Arthur up to sing a solo. Well, Ol' Arthur sang, and the people cheered, and then, from back in the audience, a man shouted:"Jim"! I said "Yeah"? The man said "Give him your suit! He sings better than you do"! Ol' Jim Hamill knew how to have fun with people, that's for sure! There's a lot more stories I could tell you, but I'll not do that now. Have a great day, and God bless you and yours!
LOLOLOLOLOL TOO FUNNY. NOW THIS IS GOSPEL Entertainment. the people that gave the thumbs down, you have got to be the most miserable human beings on the face of this Earth not to love God's people that can actually entertain you in a Christian manner. Oh well I guess you would rather serve satn! God bless you anyway.
My understanding is that Gerald just wanted three members in the group. Some people think it is more a financial decision. Gospel music can be a tough field financially and you have one less person to pay.
Look up their net worth online like I did. They don't have to worry about their finances. I'm sure there are some newcomers that need the money. I loved this song the group. I loved everything about them would love to have a copy.
I just came across this. I love it. Huge fan of the Florida Boys, The Happy Goodman's. Is this a particular group, or just a mix from a convention? Kingsman Quartet?
Back in the 70's, the Statler Brothers had a comedy number that starts with their bass singer as a (very poor, BTW) disc jockey at the fictional WEAK radio. He then brings in a live group, known as Lester "Road Hog" Moran and his Cadillac Cowboys, which are not very good musicians. Anyways, one of the characters in the skit is known as "Wichita", so that's where that comes from. Just look up Lester Moran and the Cadillac Cowboys on here and you'll see what I mean (it's a RIOT!).
since there are LOTS of gospel music lovers on this page, I am searching for, and have been for many years(and even went on Facebook to their web page) Does anyone PLEASE know where I can get a copy of It's Just Heavens Echo by the older version of the Dixie Echos. would LOVE LOVE a copy of it. also i was given a bunch of CDs and one of them is a Boxed set of Greater Vision . if anyone would like it for free i will give it to you
Jennifur, sorry I'm not familiar with It's Just Heavens Echo nor the Dixie Echos. However, I would love the boxed set of Greater Vision if you still have it.
That’s John Rulapaugh. Was the original tenor for the Dove Brothers and then sang for several years with Palmetto State Quartet. His style is very much in the Statesmen style tenor. Pull up some old Palmetto State videos. The lineup of John , Kerry Beatty, Tony Peace, and Aaron McCune is a very good lineup
Nothing... it’s an inside joke. When Jason first came to them bc he heard they needed a tenor he was in jeans and a T-shirt but saw them in suits so he cane back in a borrowed suit that was 5x to big... it’s a hilarious story. Like I said, an inside joke. There is a video of one of Jason’s first nights with them and they tell the story in it.
You're kinda laughing at the guy, and maybe not realizing that he won "Songwriter of the Year" for that song. Remember:He who laughs last, laughs best!
Gerald is the GOAT!
I lost it at “not blue jeans” 😂
Some of the best singers around.
poor Mark is having such a hard time not laughing
love it Gerald. Don't know how I missed this.
Love ❤️ this Bluegrass Band And ❤️ this Song “Looking For A Tenor” #1SongOfTheYear Gerald 🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️🥰♥️
Great parody of looking for a city love it
Killing the bass, Gerald. LOL!!!
Just to clear it up:
Tenor - John Rulapaugh, best known for his time with Palmetto State and the Dove Brothers
Lead- Arthur Rice, current and long time lead with Kingdom Heirs and formerly with the Kingsmen
Baritone - Mark Trammell currently of his own quartet and formerly of Gold City, Greater Vision and the Cathedrals
Bass- Gerald Wolfe, really a baritone/lead with Greater Vision
All great talents and could be a supergroup.
Mark Trammell also sang with The Kingsmen before he joined the Cathedral Quartet!
John Rulapaugh with Freedom Quartet for years!!!! Miss Freedom dearly one of the best groups ever
John Rulapaugh sang with Grand Ole Gospel Reunion Quartet, the final project from Hovie Lister.
As for the Baritone, Mark Trammel-Did you know that, before he was with the Cathedrals, he himself was actually with the Kingsmen Quartet, back in the late 1970s?

The look on Arthur's face! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh my gosh! This made my day! And that tenor is great, hire him!
Lynn Elliott their tenors are better. Jason is amazing.
@@BranDone-qv6qv Jason who? What is the full name? But this tenor was just awesome himself. They need to look no more, they found him 😅
"Hahahaha. Gotta love Gerald LOL!!

hahaha, Gerald is a crazy caractere.
Brilliant
The baritone is mark trammel
who was about to loose it towards the end. wonder what if Gerald got any feedback from this song
LOLOLOLOLOL TOO FUNNY. NOW THIS IS GOSPEL Entertainment. the people that gave the thumbs down, you have got to be the most miserable human beings on the face of this Earth not to love God's people that can actually entertain you in a Christian manner.

Thats goooood :D
Vestal would be proud (Looking for a City)

Look up their net worth online like I did. They don't have to worry about their finances. I'm sure there are some newcomers that need the money. I loved this song the group. I loved everything about them would love to have a copy.
Finances might be good BECAUSE they don’t have a bass?
Skylark Judy Davis they sound fantastic without one... Gerald doesn’t care for that low sound. Why can’t they just be different?
still wonder what other singers had to say about this song
This is great. Where can I find the lyrics for this song.
I just came across this. I love it. Huge fan of the Florida Boys, The Happy Goodman's. Is this a particular group, or just a mix from a convention? Kingsman Quartet?
Put together for the comedy. He has the group, Greater Vision.
As good as this is at normal playback speed, it's MUCH more of a toe-tapping bit of entertainment with the playback speed set 1.2!
I didn’t think the playback speed would make much of a difference but it sounds like the regular tempo of Looking For a City at 1.25
What a surprise?
Psalm 34
that one guy is a big ole boy...
Here i am
thought Mark was going to loose it for a while
Arthur too LOL
Lindo! Qual o nome do tenor?
HAHAHAHAH... Awesome!
still wonder what other groups had to say about this song
This is hilarious.
Can I have a piano sheet music of this?? :))
63 tenors so far.
how did the piano player get his nickname and please post the lyrics PLEASE

@@fredmckinney8933 thanks
that one guy looks like he should be playing football
Where can I find the words? I love it! XD
write him, maybe he will give it to you
if you find it I would love them too. by way if you have never seen it check out the two Bass Quartet videos they are a riot

The Song was called "Heaven's Echoes."
@@debbicook7190 still have it if you want it
Sooo funny!
Herecalico
Me: I have 2 calico kittens I name them one and two
Cause he doesn't want one!!!! LOL
U the one who sound like mice, right?
I loved it when he said that to Roger lol
srry to tell yall this but the 2 best Tenors i know wear blue jeans, on stage and off lol
It's a parody. Not to be taken seriously.
It’s an inside joke... when Jason first met them he was in jeans and a T-shirt. 🙄
Mark Trammell and Gerald Wolfe are pretty old school on the subject
Why doesn't Gerald have a bass singer in his group?
They don’t need one for their style and it’s a few thousand $$$ a month in savings.
They also don’t have to pay for a pianist because Gerald is as good or better than anyone they could get.
They were asked in an interview one time this very question and Gerald’s answer was simply “because we don’t want one”.
I want the letters
Hahahahahahaha nice
poor Mark is about to loose it up there
That tenor guy has a very good voice. Is he tenor of some other group?
That’s John Rulapaugh. Was the original tenor for the Dove Brothers and then sang for several years with Palmetto State Quartet. His style is very much in the Statesmen style tenor. Pull up some old Palmetto State videos. The lineup of John , Kerry Beatty, Tony Peace, and Aaron McCune is a very good lineup
@@Mark-sj3xb Thanks for the information.
By any chance, do you know if is true that Glen Dustin from Legacy Five became a preacher now?
Gerald's not right!
He ain't right in the head, I knew that first time I ever saw him!
It was a joke chill out
@@daisygibson8661 I know, I've always enjoyed Gerald's humor! 🤣🤣🤣
S
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Lol
Hey what's wrong with a tenor that wears blue jeans😀
Right, fisherman 56...better than a kilt, wouldn't you say? :-)
Nothing... it’s an inside joke.

John w ua-cam.com/video/LoPHAF8oV5c/v-deo.html
Some groups still have dress codes, Mark Trammell Quartet being one of Them, they are kidding back and forth not splitting up the church
Hey Gerald, ai must admit I have heard better songs!! Ha Ha
You're kinda laughing at the guy, and maybe not realizing that he won "Songwriter of the Year" for that song.
Remember:He who laughs last, laughs best!
