The Cathedral Quartet, often known as simply The Cathedrals, was an American southern gospel quartet that began in 1963, as a trio consisting of former California based Weatherford Quartet lead singer Glen Payne and two other singers. Initially an evangelical house gospel group of The Cathedral of Tomorrow, the Weatherfords moved on and the group used the Cathedral as inspiration for naming themselves The Cathedral Trio. The group became a quartet by adding Blue Ridge Quartet bass singer, George Younce, in 1964, which caused the newly formed quartet became even more popular. In 1969, the group decided to pursue full-time status as a traveling quartet, leaving the Cathedral of Tomorrow ministry. The group signed on with the Canaan records label. The quartet landed its first big break when gospel and Christian music performer and promoter, Bill Gaither, invited the group to perform at his annual Praise Gathering in Indianapolis, Indiana, and, shortly afterward, they were inundated with requests for appearances. The group’s popularity continued to rise with their newly minted identity, and the comedy routines of Younce and Payne created a dynamic that caused the following of the group to grow. When two of the four left to pursue their own group, Payne and Younce hired a young Kirk Talley (from the Hoppers) and then hired Steve Lee to sing baritone and serve as pianist. Talley was a popular addition to the group and his songwriting and vocal abilities combined with his youthfulness continued to attract southern gospel fans. The Cathedrals climbed in popularity and became firmly established as one of Southern Gospel’s prime groups. Right before 1980, the group hired Roger Bennett as the pianist after hearing him play for a local group that was opening for the Cathedrals; another solid addition came in the form of Mark Trammell, bass guitarist and baritone vocalist from the Kingsmen.
I first heard the Cathedrals while attending college in the early and mid 1980s.

They all walked away, with nothing to say; they’d just lost their dearest Friend. All that He said, now He was dead. So this was the way it would end. The dreams they had dreamed were not what they’d seemed, now that He was dead and gone. The garden, the jail, the hammer, the nail… how could a night be so long?
CHORUS: Then came the morning, night turned into day… the stone was rolled away; hope rose with the dawn. Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun; death had lost and life had won, for morning had come.
The angel, the star, the kings from afar, the wedding, the water, the wine… now it was done, they’d taken her son; wasted before His time. She knew it was true; she’d watched Him die, too. She’d heard them call Him “just a man”, but deep in her heart, she knew from the start somehow her son would live again. (CHORUS 2x)
