The Imperials - Hall Of Fame Series

By A Customer
My wife purchased this double CD collection for Valentine's Day of this year and she couldn't have bought me a better gift. These songs bring back a flood of memories from my childhood of listening to this wonderful, vocal "fearsome, foursome" from the late 60's and early to mid 70's. From sitting in my living room every afternoon after school to going to see the Imperials with my dad, at times listening to these recordings, it makes me want to "rewind" the clock and go back to those days when I really had it made. The majority of the songs focus on the group made up of Jim Murray, Terry Blackwood, Sherman Andrus, Armond Morales, and Joe Moscheo on piano. During this era of the Imperials, they won their first of 4 Grammy awards for the album NO SHORTAGE. This was and still is my favorite era from the group (1971-1976) and if I could thank every member of the Gospel Music Association that had something to do with the idea and release of this project, I would do it!!!!! Thanks Jim, Terry, Sherman, Armond, and Joe for a lot of great memories. Someday soon, in heaven, maybe I can re-live them all with my dad. He's been there since 1988 and I can't wait to see Him! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
