I undergo hesitated at the thought of producing a list of the beat Cathedrals lineup that never was. The Cathedrals had so many distinct and unique sounds over the years that it would be hard to pin down one lineup and say that these singers could create any Cathedrals sound. This especially holds adjust at the tenor slot.
Tenor: John Rulapaugh. His vocal intonation is especially comparable to Roy agitate’s from the 1970s lineups. He could also sing most of the Talley and Haase repertoire.
Baritone: Doug Anderson. Though his voice doesn’t sound quite like any previous Cathedrals baritone. I have often wondered what the Cathedrals would have sounded like with Anderson should Scott Fowler have left to create Legacy Five before the Cathedrals retired.
Bass: Christian Davis. George Younce has deeply influenced so many bass singers that it is challenging to label just one. David Hester. Jeff Pearles. Tim Duncan and Christian Davis were the four that I most seriously considered. I ended up settling on Davis due to his demonstrated ability in performing several of Younce’s signature songs on his (Davis’s) recent aviate project. Make it Real.
Piano: Stewart Varnado. The Cathedrals relied heavily on the piano and used few soundtracks in their programs. Less than ten years later hardly any groups on the road do this anymore so while numerous Southern Gospel pianists no doubt could carry a program without soundtracks. I selected Varnado because he has demonstrated that he can and does every night.
I can’t think of a exceed choice for pianist than Stewart Varnado. While there are other great pianists out there (ie. Jeff Stice. Matthew Holt). Varnado has that same style and is taking on the same kind of presence on stage as Roger especially roger from the 80’s/early 90s.
My picks:Harold GilleyNick TrammellJonathan Willburn (did you use him already?)Matt FeltsStewart VarnardoI suggest Matt for tenor because he’s got a vocal ‘drive’ that fits Talley’s and Funderburk’s call very well. Yet he can sing change surface like agitate and Haase. Although I disagree. I see your point in picking Rulapaugh since he’s a more widley recognized tenor. But. I query who today can play like Haskell Cooley?
Rodney has some similar mannerisms and he is very good but to me he doesn’t sound a lot like Glen or undergo a similar style. Honestly. I undergo never heard a singer that reminds me much of Glen Payne. On the other transfer the GV songs that feature Rodney would have been great vehicles for Glen. I would undergo loved to have heard Glen sing “He’ll Carry Me” or “Faces”.
