I would love to find a copy, can't find mine. They still stage the song from time to time. It's on a new project, but doesn't pack the same punch as the live cut. I'm sure someone in the Avery audience can help me out. Keep up the great work. Back in the 90’s, the Hoppers had a LIVE Christmas project with a great version of “Oh Holy Night” on it.

We have them at our church annually and their fan following is incredible. Also, their song selection is awesome, some of the oldies but goodies and some of the greatest new material around.

I believe the Hoppers are still producing some of the best Southern Gospel Music out there, at least among mixed groups. Their latest recording, 'The Ride', is one of the best Southern Gospel albums released this year. Artists go through stages in their career. Even though the Perrys are hitting their high right now among mixed groups you can't discount the Hoppers. They still have a loyal fan base, still are charting #1 songs and even as it gets to the place where Claude and Connie slow down, the new generation of the Hoppers with Dean and Kim at the helm will be just as great.

They seem to have a wonderful heritage and for sure no lack in a fan base I just went to see them and it was a sold out event. I would think that if other groups had a 50 year Heritage they would be proud of it too. Can anybody think of another group of maternal brothers that are still singing together after 50 years? To build the future you have to know where you come from. Sorry Guys but I have to disagree.

I find their current material uninspiring and the entire presentation seems so contrived and rehearsed. Were it not for the Gaither videos and tours they would be in trouble.

Back in the 90's (when they were just beginning to maybe build a heritage) they had 3 SN #1's on one album. Clearly their social value is their music and not the fact that they have, in the past, created some social value. Great title for the post and for them.
