Very grateful for this recording... I was finally able to hear this powerful group live with the great Ron Hemby in his best years. A privilege...!!!❤❤👏👏👏👏👏
I love this group. This was the era I started listening to The Imperials. I had gotten saved and discovered Christian music. This Year's Model always makes me happy!
I miss Armond Morales and Dave Wills but their singing stays alive in my heart and I know to all their fans and we continue to love them and their love and passion in singing for the Lord has made an impact to a lot of people.
Thank you for sharing! I've been looking for a video on these particular members of the Imperials for a long time, I wish there were more! I saw them on their "This Year's Model" tour in my early teens. Still my favorite album:)
Yes, we give glory to God for everything The Imperials has devotedly gave all their might to lift up the name of the Lord to all people to receive his Holy, Holy, Holy Name. We love you Lord for giving us The Imperials.
The mistake the Imperials made, is not replacing iconic singers and songs with different iconic singers and songs. The peak was Russ Taff and Paul Smith, after that was zero comparison. They couldn’t get it back. Bill Gaither is the master at this. He not only replaces iconic singers when they leave, but he does it in a way to showcase the new singers talents… no one should be singing The Trumpet of Jesus except Russ Taft - it’s too iconic. Everyone else pales in comparison. Im a huge Imperials fan, I’m a huge Armond Morales fan… the latest version of the classic Imperials is embarrassing to the brand.
If you turn on country radio now a days, Jimmie is on every other song that plays if not several in a row. He's the most used session bassist in Nashville for quite sometime now.
