Release Year: 2001 Album Rank for Group: #1 of 4 Here’s a blurb: This is the first mainline album released by the Perrys after their configuration change to “three men plus Libbi.” What a tremendous decision that turned out to be, and this project was immediate proof.

Top 100: #65 City of Light (Kingdom Heirs)
Release Year: 2000 Album Rank for Group: #9 of 10 Here’s a blurb: The Kingdom Heirs have recorded 27 Dianne Wilkinson songs on their last three major studio albums.

Their recording history to this point has been a musical growth chart, with each new release exhibiting the vocal development of the Collingsworth children. Although this is their first release on the label, their music and …

Top 100: #69 Look No Further (Perrys)
Release Year: 2007 Album Rank for Group: #2 of 4 Here’s a blurb: The Perrys’ only release with Nick Trammell at baritone is a solid and well-balanced 12-song collection. It has the standard formula of a Perrys album of the last decade or so: a couple of power ballads, a couple of convention songs, a …
