THE BLUE RIDGE QUARTET

The Blue Ridge Quartet was one of the smoothest Gospel groups you'll ever hear.  They didn't try anything fancy, just good old-fashioned harmonies.  Led by Elmo Fagg, LaVerne Tripp, Ed Sprouse, Burl Strevel, Bill Crowe, Fred Daniel, Kenny Gates, and even George Younce (Cathedrals) and Jim Hamill (Kingsmen), this group produced some of the sweetest Southern Gospel music this side of Heaven.  As you will see below, they issued a lot of LPs !
