SG MIGHT have been better in the 50's & 60's, but if all of today's SG sounded like that I wouldn't want to listen to it! There are several singers from back then (that every seems to think were just all that and a bag of chips) that I seriously can only handle listening to for a song or two before I want to run screaming for a pillow to stop the torture to my ears. But then, there are a lot of singers from now that I feel the same way about! The same goes for "classy" looking clothing and hairstyles!

Those never accomplish anything. I only wished to submit my thoughts from personal experience. dkd - I don't discount the fact that obviously you've had some kind of bad experience. But even if I don't know the "real" Ernie, I DO know a number of people who've known him long enough and well enough to see his true character...and I am more inclined to trust their word than comments on the internet. Jennifer - to your last question, I'm just as lost as you...my advice is meet EH for yourself and draw your own conclusion. :) Also, the name change happened around the time SS signed with Gaither, which was at least a YEAR after Garry & Shane left. Besides being a suggestion from Gaither, part of it had to do with another group with a similar name (I can't remember exactly what it was) that didn't wish to sell the rights, so it needed to be changed one way or another.

Garry produced some of N'Harmony's projects so they were on the same track creatively. Shane aligned himself with Garry, Garry and Ernie had conflicts from day one. EH wanted to be in control from the beginning, he finally got his wish. (In a Nutshell) Quartet Man: Garry & Shane were friends long before SSQ.

I think the only people that keep bringing it up are Shane and Gary in "disguise." I guess that is the only way they can feel successful! "we were with SSQ in the beginning!" SO? what are you doing now? trying to attach themselves to an incredibly successful group by stating "what about Shane and Gary?" well....WHO CARES? if their careers are going so great why are they trying to get people to recognize they were with SSQ for LESS THAN A YEAR???????? note to shane and gary fans....no one cares. go see gary and shane in concert! I'm sure it will be free and you wont have a problem finding a seat! i'm out! I think its funny that people still mention Shane and Gary.

His stated reasons were in so many words that He and Garry had different ideas on how the group should be run. He said rather than to keep on going and eventually having it come to a head (so to speak) it was better to part ways then while they were still friends. He said Shane seemed to think like Garry, so Shane should go with Garry. Beyond that, I don't know. I guess if it were spin, it was still better than what usually happens (which is not saying anything.) I had always kind of thought that some of the things the boys had done since then might be demonstrative of what the differences were. The boys did the hair thing, more movements, more flash etc. I figured Garry probably wanted more flatfooted singing. In that case, he would've been better suited for Legacy Five than Signature Sound. At least as far as how things are done. I had been lead to believe that Gaither was behind the new name for the group. I don't know what the truth is though. Jennifer, I only know what Ernie said.

I have moved from Cali to VA. Having attended many watchmen concerts, I would say that Zimm need to hype his group in the column to garner attendance at the concerts. I wold rather see the Herb Henry Family get a little more recognition for what they are doing to further southern gospel music in California Ditto the Pacifically Speaking comment.

He has an ego the size of Texas! Quartet Man- I agreee with you as to the Revisionist History with the Group EHSSQ, as soon as Gary and Shane left Ernie changed the name from Signature Sound Qt to EH and SSQ. This story runs deep and it's not my place to tell it, but Ernies Spin on the whole reason for Gary and Shane are just that, HIS SPIN..actually his SPIN is nothing but a complete fabrication made to make himself look good. The EH that I know is anything but humble or gracious. I will step down from my soap box now. HML- You obviously do not know the real EH! He has an ego the size of Texas!

Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver is a bluegrass/bluegrass gospel group, and they are on the charts frequently. The Primitive Quartet isn't really SG. For that matter, the Gaither Vocal Band isn't SG.
