+Bonnie Reddy Exactly how I have been feeling for quite awhile. I've kept saying we need to bring this era up in today's...the Jubilee Years...! We desperately need this energy(s) in today's music...such as DC Talk, Petra, Twilla Paris, Mike Warnke, Wayne Watson, CARMAN & so many many more! How the music rejuvenated, uplifted, motivated our Souls. It literally caused an explosion of ppl returning to Churches, bldg huge sanctuaries & schools. It was something to see happening, but more to be a part of. We need a Revival in The (this) Land (which is title to one of Carman's songs)...thus we need to pull this Era...Jubilee Era up into the present day. Every time I listen to my old tapes/cd's of my christian music...I Am amazed at how my Spirit feels like its going to burst from my chest...like a GREAT BIG "YEEESSSSS!!!" Feel like I've been in a Spiritual desert since this music died....killed(?) out. Mike Warnke was one of the best Christian Comedians & helped to bring God 'n Christ to a more realistic & fun relationship. Yeeeuuupp those were the Years! I so miss 'em too, Bonnie. It's great to meet up w/Kindred Soul who remembers those times. Be Blessed, Be Well & May You "Always" Be At Peace....Soul Warrior Sistah!
I saw this great Christian Band in Branson at the amusement park. Our youth group had a "connection" somehow through our youth pastor and we were in the 9th back center stage. I remember this whole thing about tuning up the cowbell and the deep bass singer has a solo of shorts. Only 15 at the time, but found out Christian music could sound good. Though I have to admit when Stryper came out, as a rock-n-roll kind of guy, they hooked me.

a VERY long time ago, I remember The Imperials coming to our church. The bass singer slept at our house!!! I was like 7.... I remember this super, awesome, cool dude coming to our house and playing gospel music with the bass turned up real loud. It was AWESOME to me. I don't remember his name but, I remember the guy!!!!!
I had this entire performance on 8-track lol Loved it all. This one and Bread Upon The Water were, and still are, my favorite! Jim Murray at his best imo

Wow, same hear. I remember my first album and my first concert by them. When I would sing the songs myself, only the young people responded. Parents set there kinda like I do today when my daughter plays some of the stuff she does. I am still open better than parents were then but I still like to hear quartet music too.
Dante, the late Jackie Street on bass guitar, Tom Hemby on Lead guitar, Tom Reeves on drums, don't recognize the keyboard players, had Dick Tunney left by then?
I heard some songs like "let the wind blow and because of who you are" in Spanish...are too good but the voices and music sound with the Imperials are too much better...GBY Dante.
I'm sure you are a sweet Christian lady. I don't want to discourage you at all but I'd like to kindly remind you that with the measure that you judge you will be judged with that same measure. From time to time in my life I run into people that criticize the ministry that the Lord has equipped me to perform. It has been a while but just know that if you are right in what you posted, great for you, you are a prophet. If you are wrong you are speaking against something that is the Lord's work. You could be critical of any church or ministry that you would like. If it has people in it, it is flawed but God still working in it honoring the sharing of the Gospel. The Lord has used the flawed Imperials to add 1000s upon 1000s upon 1000s to His church. God knows. He will sort it all out. Sincerely, blessings upon you!
Sail on was the album that got me excited about Christian Music. Imperials was the first concert I ever went to.
It was the first Christian concert I went to also.
Sail On was my first Christian album. Won it on the local Christian radio station. My favorite group of all time. Saw them many times in concert.
Saw them at a church in PBC. I was very young. Great memories
Saw the guys at kingsway Christian church over 40 years ago in avon, in. This brings back a ton of memories. They were so good live.
My favorite song in College thank you The Imperials.
Lisa Romie
Good move Lisa; you just showed your "age". This music just tells us that we're young at heart.
What a great song. It brings back memories. Where did all the good music go?
+Bonnie Reddy The only thing wrong with Southern Gospel music is there's not enough of it.

We used to sing this in the church choir then we would shout and dance and have a great time. In cold New Hampshire!!

You said the bass singer? That would be Armond Morales.
They came to ours too! I was so young, now I am almost 50 years old now. 😅
I miss the 80s. Fortunate to have grown up during this decade.
I remember our High School taking us to hear them sing, it was awesome.
I had this entire performance on 8-track lol Loved it all. This one and Bread Upon The Water were, and still are, my favorite! Jim Murray at his best imo
never heard of these singers till a friend showed me thanks dante star I really love that song sail on..jw

Ah, Jackie Street...unreal player, unreal person...missed
Absolutely!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great music
Still great music!

The keyboardists are Tim Amstutz on piano and Tim Akers on synths.
Funny Dudes! Sail On! Great Singers
Great music! Five had the monitor upside down =)
More COWBELL!!! :-)
Dante, the late Jackie Street on bass guitar, Tom Hemby on Lead guitar, Tom Reeves on drums, don't recognize the keyboard players, had Dick Tunney left by then?
Beautiful Music and Beautiful guitar sound..I' d like to know wich is the effects combination.
I'm not sure about guitar effects. Some chorus for sure though.
I heard some songs like "let the wind blow and because of who you are" in Spanish...are too good but the voices and music sound with the Imperials are too much better...GBY Dante.
Ricardo Pilero Hola Ricardo, quien hacia la version en español del tema Because of who you are??
***** Hola!
Hola Dan, you speakin Spañol, it will better.
Your welcome and that would have been Armond Morales that stayed with you. He is the only bass singer the group ever had.
Makes me dance!!! :)
Except when some legalistic "disciplinarian" tell you that dancing is such a sin. Will you be my partner on this one?Just to make the legalists mad?
This sounds like stand by me
Who's the guy with the bass voice!
Armond Morales
More cowbell! 🎤🐮🔔
This is were it started entering the church. Never mix the world with God.

Sorry, hammertimemo, for what it's worth, that's not Tom Hemby.. and DanteStar7 has the rest right.
Christian Yacht rock. We didn’t call it that, but….
That’s not a bad thing mind you.
