Top 100: #77 How Great It Is (Inspirations)
Release Year: 2008 Album Rank for Group: #5 of 6 Here’s a blurb: The Inspirations’ last album with the legendary Archie Watkins at tenor and long-time lead Matt Dibler is memorable for those reasons.

Top 100: #78 Especially for You (Cathedrals)
Release Year: 1985 Album Rank for Group: #11 of 13 Here’s a blurb: The Funderburk era of the Cathedral Quartet is in full swing with Especially for You. There’s not much in the way of new songs, but the covers are all dynamite, and in most cases, are my favorite renditions of those songs. And …

Release Year: 1987 Album Rank for Group: #14 of 15 Here’s a blurb: Gold City’s first major studio album with the powerhouse lineup of Riley, Free, Parker, and LeFevre contains their signature song, “Midnight Cry”.

Top 100: #83 Joy in the Camp (Gaither Homecoming Friends)
Release Year: 1997 Album Rank for Group: #1 of 2 Here’s a blurb: Great song selection and some classic, touching moments make this my favorite Gaither Homecoming project. Like most of the early homecomings, there is a lot of singing by the choir, which is always my favorite. There are moments to make you laugh, …
