On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, [[Wes Hampton]], Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither. Although the group started out recording [[contemporary Christian music]] in the 1980s, it became known for southern gospel after the popularity of the [[Gaither Homecoming]] videos.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gaither Vocal Band|url=http://vovtz.wordpress.com/gaither-vocal-band/|access-date=November 1, 2011|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110921065556/http://vovtz.wordpress.com/gaither-vocal-band/|archive-date=September 21, 2011}}</ref> The lineup of the band changes often, with artists leaving to work on solo careers, and new and old ones coming to replace them. Besides Gaither, singers with the longest tenure in the band include [[Guy Penrod]] (1995–2008), [[Mark Lowry]] (1988–2002, 2009–13), [[Michael English (American singer)|Michael English]] (1985–94, 2009–13), [[David Phelps (musician)|David Phelps]] (1997–2005, 2009–17) and [[Wes Hampton]] (2005–present). The band has released 29 albums (not including compilations), at least 19 of which have charted. The band has also released 10 DVDs, which feature many other Christian artists as well. The Gaither Vocal Band has been honored with two [[Grammys]] and 17 [[Dove Awards]]. ==History== ===Beginnings=== The Gaither Vocal Band is named after gospel legend and leader [[Bill Gaither (gospel singer)|Bill Gaither]].<ref name="pbs">{{cite web |url=https://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/episodes/august-28-2009/gaither-gospel-singers/4081/ |title=August 28, 2009 ~ Gaither Gospel Singers &#124; Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly |publisher=PBS |date=August 28, 2009 |access-date=August 13, 2012}}</ref> It was the successor-group of the [[Bill Gaither Trio]]. By the 1980s, Bill Gaither, along with wife [[Gloria Gaither]], were both very successful [[songwriter]]s.<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/bill-gaither-p2283/biography|title=Bill Gaither – Biography, Albums, Streaming Links – AllMusic|website=[[AllMusic]]}}</ref> For example, their song, "He Touched Me" was covered by [[Elvis Presley]], after which he even named his album ''[[He Touched Me (Elvis Presley album)|He Touched Me]]''. Presley won a Grammy for the album.<ref name="elvis">{{cite web|last=Bush |first=John |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/r15661 |title=He Touched Me – Elvis Presley : Songs, Reviews, Credits, Awards |publisher=AllMusic |access-date=August 13, 2012}}</ref> Bill Gaither felt that his trio had reached its peak in the mid-1980s, but his desire to make another gospel hit kept the trio going.<ref name="pbs"/> The original Vocal Band (called the ''New'' Gaither Vocal Band) was formed spontaneously, backstage of a Gaither Trio concert. It consisted of Bill Gaither and [[Gary McSpadden]] of the trio, along with two of the trio's backup singers, [[Steve Green (singer)|Steve Green]] and Lee Young. The quartet sang "Your First Day in Heaven" on stage that night.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gaither Vocal Band|url=http://www.singers.com/gospel/gaithervocalband.html|publisher=United Singers International|access-date=May 16, 2011}}</ref> Their debut album, the self-titled ''The New Gaither Vocal Band'', debuted in 1981. According to the liner notes of the CD compilation ''The Best of the GVB'', the term "vocal band" was used instead of "quartet" because it did not limit Gaither in terms of sound or number of group members. According to Green on the Gaither Vocal Band Reunion video, he came up with the name and convinced Gaither to use it because he, at the time, did not want to be associated with "quartet music".{{citation needed|date=September 2016}} Young left the group in 1982, and Jon Mohr was hired as the new bass singer. They then recorded the album ''Passin' The Faith Along''. Later, tenor Green left and [[Larnelle Harris]] was hired. This group cut the ''New Point Of View'' album before Mohr left. ===Widespread popularity=== [[Michael English (American singer)|Michael English]] was hired as the new lead singer, so McSpadden was moved down to baritone, and Gaither dropped to bass. At this point the group dropped the "new" part of their name. Although the previous album (''New Point of View'') had been more contemporary than its predecessors, the album with this version of the group (''One X 1'') took it even further. After this album, Larnelle left and was replaced by Lemuel Miller. The group did not record an album with Miller before he too left. He was replaced by [[The Imperials|Imperials]] alumnus, Jim Murray. This line up cut one album (''Wings'') before McSpadden left to start his solo career. [[Mark Lowry]] was convinced to replace him. Along with a great voice, Lowry added comedy to the mix. Their Gospel roots project ''Homecoming'' in 1991 caused most Southern Gospel fans to welcome the Vocal Band with open arms. Murray left and was replaced by [[Terry Franklin]]. The album ''Southern Classics'' was released in 1993 with the hit "I Bowed On My Knees" (This song was co-writers by Jeremy Ward). Later English left. He was replaced by Buddy Mullins. Mullins was only a temporary fill-in, but he was included on the album ''Testify''. Franklin soon left and was replaced by yet another Imperials alumnus, [[Jonathan Pierce]] (formerly known as Jonathan Hildreth, his first and last name, then changed to his first and middle name). Strengthened by the popularity of the ''Homecoming'' video series, the Vocal Band added [[Guy Penrod]] at lead. After Pierce's departure, Gaither hired [[David Phelps (musician)|David Phelps]] at tenor. After Lowry's departure, Imperials alumnus [[Russ Taff]] sang baritone for a couple of years. [[Marshall Hall (singer)|Marshall Hall]] was his replacement. [[Wes Hampton]] succeeded Phelps in 2005. The group has had three number one songs on the ''[[Singing News]]'' chart. "Yes, I Know" held the top position from July to October 1997, as did "I Will Go On" in November 2006. "Greatly Blessed" was their third number one single. The group has routinely performed classic Southern Gospel songs including many written by Bill and Gloria Gaither like "He Touched Me", "I Believe In A Hill Called Mount Calvary", and "Sinner Saved By Grace". ===Reunion=== In July 2008, the vocal band recorded a reunion DVD at the Gaither Studios — ''The Gaither Vocal Band Reunion, Volumes 1 and 2''. Except for [[Jonathan Pierce|Pierce]], Franklin, and Miller, the former and present members appeared and performed. The two CDs debuted in the top two positions on ''Billboard''{{'}}s Contemporary Christian Album chart, marking the Gaither Vocal Band's first No. 1 on the Christian Album chart. The DVDs of the same title debuted in the No. 1 and No. 2 positions on the Music Video charts as well. It also garnered a [[Grammy Award]] for Best Southern, Country, Bluegrass Gospel Album.<ref>{{cite web|title=The Gaither Vocal Band Receives Early Valentines |url=http://www.gospelmusicupdate.com/_news/gvbgrammybillboard.shtm |publisher=The Judy Nelon Group |access-date=February 9, 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110711113210/http://www.gospelmusicupdate.com/_news/gvbgrammybillboard.shtm |archive-date=July 11, 2011 }}</ref> ===The quintet=== [[File:Gaither vocal band.jpg|thumb|Gaither Vocal Band, 2009]] In January 2009, Hall and Penrod left.
