"This is most definately the best of The Cathedrals! I believe the Southern Gospel Music customer viewing this review would not be the least bit disappointed with this great collection of soul stirring songs by the Cathedrals. I was introduced to Southern Gospel Music by groups like Gold City, Kingsmen, The Squire Parsons Trio, and The Cathedrals, and of them all I personally believe you cant go wrong with a quartet with the powerful sound The Catedrals are famous for having. Personally I believe that George Younce (the Bass) has been blessed tremendously with a rich deep, but yet smooth voice that makes nearly all the songs of The Cathedrals Anthology collection a must have if your a Cathedrals fan. Roger Bennett does an AWESOME job at keeping the piano in the spotlight as not too many quartets in the Southern Gospel Music have been able to do. If you know Rogers health condition of having cancer, I think youd agree that God has prolonged his life possibly for the fact of being what he is in The Cathedrals quartet, especially in the Anthology collection. We know that Glen Payne has passed on to be with the Lord now, but for his time he really could sing Gods praise as him and George Younce started the group years ago. It is amazing to think that George, and Glen had praised God for 35 years when the Anthology disc was recorded. Im sure if you have an ear for a good "Olde Fashioned" Gospel Group, but yet still modern enough that even the teenagers seem to know the songs youll come back to some of the titles featured on the Anthology Collection time, after time. Step into the water, Shout over heaven, Sinner saved by grace, and Jesus saves, are all songs that have a very good Gospel message presented in them to meet the name of Gospel music, but overall I believe these are some of the best songs brought together on two discs that The Cathedrals have performed. Youll find that when your just in the mood for a song that will cheer you up, and encourage you that O, What a Savior on disc one is just the song youll need. Ernie Haase, and Scott Fowler sound great together, and personally I believe for a groups voices to match and blend so well you need look no further than The Cathedrals. By Gods grace I can honestley say that if you give The Cathedrals Anthology collection of great music a try you definately will not regret it. For the price it will be tough to find a better deal. And I think if your a bargain shopper that over two hours of music recorded on two discs is plenty enough, especially on account that you get to hear Glen Payne, who is gone on with the Lord and Americas lowest bass George Younce both together. That alone gives the Anthology collection much value to the collector of the Cathedrals, but for the new listeners Im confident youll be satisfied with your purchase. I myself sing in a quartet and take it from me when I say that The Cathedrals Anthology "A 35 Year Musical Journey" will become one of your most prized possessions in your Southern Gospel Music collection. Thank You ! John H. ?"

Excellent Investment

"This was my first Cathedrals purchase. All of the great songs are included. You'll enjoy everyone. It covers a lot of years of excellent recording and is played in over two hours. If you're looking for a good Cathedrals sampling. This is it!"

Great Example of the Greatest Quartet Ever!

"This two-CD set is a great example of American's favorite quartet: The Cathedrals! With hits ranging from the early "Sunshine and Roses," and "Somebody Touched Me" to more recent "Still Drinking Water From The Well" and "Ride That Glory Train," this traces the music of a great asset in the gospel music industry. A MUST HAVE for ANY gospel music fan!"
