Revision as of 01:52, 14 February 2008 by Star Mississippi (talk | contribs) (see talk for details: sourced and stubbed)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Legacy Five is a southern gospel quartet founded by former Cathedral Quartet members Roger Bennett and Scott Fowler after the other two members of the Cathedral Quartet, Glen Payne and George Younce, decided to retire in 1999. Band members attribute their success to the changing face of gospel music and their willingness to adapt to it. As a result, the band has won numerous awards.
Members
The band has experienced minimal turnover in membership, except for the tenor position. Josh Cobb left in 2000, he was replaced by Tony Jarman, who stayed with the group until 2004. Frank Seamans has been with the group since 2004. Tim Parton, a pianist who produced a number of the group's albums, officially joined the group in October 2006 to substitute for Bennett. Following Bennett's death on March 17, 2007, from complications related to leukemia, Parton's "interim" tag was removed, as the group officially named him the regular pianist.
Performances
They have performed with the Gaither Homecoming Friends as well as being a regular feature at the National Quartet Convention. Recent performances include: 2008 Winter Gospel Music Convention
They have been nominated for 40 Singing News Fan Awards, including Best Traditional Male Quartet in 2004 and have won or been nominated for an award nearly every year. At the 2004 Fan Awards, the group won in the categories of Traditional Quartet, Baritone, Bass and Pianist.
One of their best-known songs, "Heroes of the Faith", was composed by Roger Bennett, in honor of Glen Payne.
