Steve was the next best thing to Brian Free as far as I'm concerned. Jay was great make no mistake, but Steve really came a long way vocally, and this gut they have now doesn't have even close to the range that Jay, or Steve had. I can't wait to see this epic failure. I'm positive there was more tenors that sounded better that this guy. Look him up on youtube under the Melodyaires, he really isn't that good at all in my opinion. Are you serious.

He already knows who is going to be in the group and what sound will carry them into a successful new season of positive change. Sure Steve will be missed by thousands, but that is not the end of the World for either party. I went and tried out for the group...with a bad sinus infection. (lol) Bad timing, but I enjoied talking to Michael Syles, Daniel, and Kevin. They are very real people, just like you and I and I wish them the very best in everything they do. I would love to be a part of the group for sure, but again...it is up to God, and I cannot say or speak His thoughts. :) Have a very Blessed week to all of you, and keep the spin positive...ok.

This line up and recent albums have blown away most of the industry. Second. My very first thought for a replacement was Dusty Barrett as well. Young, yet has several years of singing under his belt now and has the range. The biggest obstacle for Gold City finding a replacement is finding some one who matches where they are and where they want to go yet be able to have the range to sing some of the classic, higher stuff.

Here is a Youtube link with him singing with a local quartet at his dads church on "Jesus Saves" he comes in at the 3 minute mark and man does he come in. also here is one of him singing with his sister... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2JB5fu--70&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DNMxyDcyfY8 For those mentioning Josh Cobb it seems he is coming back to his roots… Here is a Youtube link with him singing with a local quartet at his dads church on “Jesus Saves” he comes in at the 3 minute mark and man does he come in. also here is one of him singing with his sister… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2JB5fu–70&feature=related

He'd strip his voice, which is very rich and distinctive when singing in a range that he needs to be singing. Goss is a great arranger/producer if you like a big orchestral sound. If not, well...let's just say he was innovative back in the day. Greater Vision - aka Gerald Wolfe - is very smart. They cover up their vocal inadequacies with stacks and orchestrations. If they're not singing with stacks and orchestration, then they key it down and try to let the nostalgic nature of the "good ole hymns" keep them in the fans' favor. Southern Gospel music is backed by older people for the most part. It's incredibly intelligent. It's just playing off of everybody's ignorance (at least at most fans' inability to look past the obvious). Gerald Wolfe is too good. He thinks one step ahead all of the time. GV is not even near the best trio in the business. They're still one of the most popular though. Credit Gerald for that. I wonder how much longer they can hold on to that. The next genius idea needs to come along soon. Jarman can’t sing tenor with Gold City. He’d strip his voice, which is very rich and distinctive when singing in a range that he needs to be singing.
