The Gaither Vocal Band was formed by Bill Gaither and has had many members over the years. These four are (Left to Right), David Phelps one of the best tenors on the planet, Russ Taff (raspy voice, used to be the lead singer for the Imperials in the 70s and 80s), Guy Penrod (Gray long hair, usually sings lead, and is a phenomenal singer himself) and Bill Gaither (sings bass and the founder of the GVB). They sing (and have sung, and continue to sing with various members) traditional Gospel hymns and such with the typical 4 part harmonies that make Gospel music what it is. Bill Gaither and his wife Gloria Gaither have also written hundreds if not thousands of songs over the last 40-50 years. They are treasures and pillars in the Gospel music community.

[@Clevercat4]

It amazes me that Bill's voice is still as strong and pure as it is. I remember singing in a cantata by him when I was 18...and I'm 67 now!! He and Gloria are incredibly gifted. Mark Lowery (writer of Christmas favorite "Mary did you know?") is also a member of the Gaither vocal band

[@shelleyjackson4827]

And Mark Lowery

[@VocMusTcrMaloy]

Oh, and Bill wrote He Touched Me, The King Is Coming, Alpha And Omega and HUNDREDS of Gospel classics!

[@thiskiwigal]

@@Clevercat4 was a member. Mark is no longer in the group nor is Guy

[@traceonthecase]

@@thiskiwigal well to be fair it seems many roll in and out and get together for reunion specials. It seems like once a Gaither always a Gaither.

[@beverlysanders4209]

Anthony Burger on the piano and possibly the best piano player ever! Unfortunately he died at only age 44 .

[@redstateforever]

This was in NYC, Carnegie Hall, in early 2002, just months after 9/11. It had been planned long before the tragedy, it was just providence that they were there at that time, singing songs of love and encouragement.

[@tammyyoung6199]

David Phelps just took us to church.. lol

[@terrigail7]

David Phelps voice just sends shivers thru my soul!! Listen to "No More Night"... probably my favorite!!

[@ReneeC1]

I have many favorites Nesun Dorma, Angus Dei, Holy.. there's almost no song of his I don't love! ❤

[@TatianaQuinteroA]

Water! Him singing with his daughter. I love all his songs but that one touches my soul in a very special way

[@AllieSierdsma]

Yes

[@julieet52]

Mine too. No more night is incredible 🙌

[@debbieholden8376]

His version of O Holy Night will bring tears to your eyes. No More Night does too, but we all know O Holy Night but until I heard David’s version, I don’t remember ever crying when singing or hearing it at Christmas. David has talent, but more than that, he has a God given GIFT and he uses it 😊

[@dianalynne9243]

II can barely contain myself when David sings. The most anointed voice I have ever heard. His voice brings such glory to God.

[@charleslee32958]

AMEN!

[@KittCrescendo]

The Gaithers have been so influential in creating so many contemporary Christian arrangements for churches. I grew up on a lot of their stuff.

[@cfmiles]

David Phelps ain't scared to come in hot. When he brings it.....he's gonna bring it

[@jeffreyb6165]

David was on fire on this night. This performance was powerful and emotional as it came off the heels of 9/11

[@dennystewart3238]

David Phelps has the most amazing voice!! "Hide Thou Me" will chill you to your bones!

[@janinedorrell2152]

David Phelps and Guy Pernod are both amazing. Still so worshipful and relevant for these times. 🦋☮️🇺🇦🙏

[@annbounds7087]

Russ Taff is awesome too!

[@YuzaPinkPantyBiar]

@@annbounds7087 Russ Taff got them Grammys

[@VocMusTcrMaloy]

This is THE best GVB ever! It hasn’t been the same since!

[@traceonthecase]

If you ever watch a whole special you'll see they have performance after performance of amazing talent. I recently watched David, Mark, Bill and the cute short guy backing up Michael English and I was shocked again at the depth of talent. Also Mark singing his song Mary Did You Know with voctive ranks up there among the incredible performances that David has. Taranda Greene who is with Canas Voice now, won a Dove Award in 2019, was also with Gaithers. I'm sure we could go on and on.

[@JodiTrommler]

I have had the pleasure of meeting David Phelps on a couple occasions and my wife and I got to spend about 20-30 minutes talking to Guy Penrod and his wife after a show in Albertville, Alabama a few years back. Both of these gentlemen are the real deal. The nicest, most genuine guys you could ever want to meet.

[@scoobysue80]

Loved your reaction. The vocal band are great, but David!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is just the best. Sooooo many songs (mainly his older ones) give you goosebumps EVERYTIME you listen.

[@carlajackson4038]

I always enjoyed how they hype each other up & genuinely appear to appreciate their gifts.

[@megtravers327]

That's Bill's mentoring

[@hdenisewooten2428]

This performance was to honor 9-11 in NYC.

[@texaz58]

For you singers out there towards the end that is a C#5 that David Phelps just snatches out of the air and let's it fly. Also if you watch closely when he hits that note a guy standing behind him (Jason Crabb) gets the most surprised look on his face.

[@Herculaing]

Check out “He came down to my level”….awesome song with David Phelps, Guy Penrod just blowin’!!

[@Mugmaster2024]

KERRRRRRRAYYYYYY ZZZZZ! The best on the planet!

[@krnelson65]

This is CLASSIC SOUTHERN GOSPEL. My very favorite genre of music. All of the singers behind our great singers.

[@dzy4u]

After that reaction I just want to come hug you!!!! So glad you realize how excellent they all are!

[@marcusphilpot288]

You should definitely do “Just as I am”. My favorite song he sings. You will not be disappointed!!

[@paulrobinson3213]

I felt that "Yes David". The man's voice is truly annointed by God.

[@renaesmith5528]

The Gaither's have a very deep 'Rabbit hole' so to speak. Everyone sings beautifully and their guest do too, even people in the audience will randomly be chosen and blow the roof off the building!! #THATSINGERREACTIONS

[@donna3465]

If you haven’t checked out David Phelps solo work, you’re missing out. He’s one of the best tenors in music history.

[@sittynine]

More David Phelps please!!

[@daventunes3822]

This was performed at a Gaither event in New York as in appreciation of the first responders of 9/11. Bill and his wife wrote the song. The choir backing them is comprised of members of some of the best gospel groups in the business.

[@morganv.6128]

The guy with long silver hair is Guy Penrod, long time GVB member.

[@morganv.6128]

The members have changed over the years. Bill Gaither runs. Mark Lowry (wrote Mary Did You Know) was a member for a long time also.

[@Trishapurpleprincess]

Bill Gaither ( the guy with the gray curly hair at 4:19) is an amazing singer/ songwriter who has been writing music since the 1950's ... They do a lot of traditional / southern gospel music , check out their website/ Wikipedia for more info . The Gaither Vocal band has had many different members over the years including Mark Lowry , the creator of the song "Mary, did you know? ' you should check out some more of the Gaithers ( search ' Gaither homecoming') and then Check out some of Mark Lowry's Comedy from the 90s

[@donnadoll9443]

IMHO......David Phelps is one of the greatest tenors of our time. Check out his song, No More Night and enjoy his high notes and amazing breath control! 🙂👍👏👏👏

[@kingjosh003]

Bill Gaither: Bass, and founder of the group. (He's been in the Christian music scene since the 50's) On the far right. Guy Penrod: Lead tenor. Between Bill and Russ. Russ Taff: Baritone. Just to Guy's left. David Phelps: High tenor. On the far left. The GVB has had many lineups over the years, and Bill is still singing (and em ceeing at their concerts) today at 85!

[@jerrys.999]

You should definitely check out Ernie Haas and Signature Sound. “Oh what a Savior” is one of my all time favs……”Get away Jordan” is also a barn burner….

[@MajJGrant]

David Phelps IS the best and most dynamic tenor the world has ever seen.

[@godislove8038]

I enjoyed your first time reaction to the Gaither Vocal Band. They are a stellar group, and David is the cherry on top. It’s nice to see your appreciation of them.

[@keithmeddock1243]

Oh my...I'll tell you that the GVB is always bringing the spirit of our wonderful creator into any environment you listen in. As others have said, over the years some of the members change but it doesn't much matter...if you want to feel the spirit moving in you, the GVB will surely help set it in motion!

[@Pocket121993]

David Phelps- we shall be hold him. You won't be disappointed

[@davidcook5705]

Makes me wanna put my shoutin shoes on! PRAISE GOD!!!!

[@amandapatch7496]

From left to right David Phelps, Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, and Bill Gaither.

[@julianellee]

Love seeing you experience these for the first time…it’s what I grew up on. I get excited while watching you get excited…nothing can move the soul like this kind of music for me.

[@jillrose8921]

No words can describe the magnitude of emotion this song imparts. I listen to it about once a month, it gives me so much hope and peace. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction. You know your music!!!

[@HitmanR2]

For whom the Son sets free is free indeed! Loved the reaction!

[@tanana2070]

Saw them in person years ago. Such God gifted talent!! None better!!

[@bradleydavis8714]

The best vocal group in the history of gospel music.

[@whosyomamanow7523]

The anointing of the Lord is on them🙏🏼❤️

[@sandrarieger4802]

I’ve listened to Gaither Vocal Band for years. Watching you discovering them made my day. God bless you sir.

[@sallyharrison8265]

Being raised First Church of God ,the movement the Gaithers come out of, have always been so proud of this. Sandy Patti also come from our church. Our church is centered on missions. The Gaithers are true missionaries!

[@ReneeC1]

I've been to several Gaither concerts and even got a selfie with David Phelps. He's no longer with the vocal band but I still listen to them. David Phelps is my all time favorite ❤

[@2hairrazor]

Yes, it's a group. The older man is the founder, Bill Gaither.

[@Tamara-jz7jo]

My mama used to be part of the Gaither experience. So I KNEW when I saw the title I was going to have to stop by and see your reaction. It did not disappoint 😆 Your reactions are the best!!

[@FuzWuz64]

Guy Penrod is my favorite. I had the privilege to meet him and his wife at Dollywood for gospel festival 💜

[@annbounds7087]

The list of songs and awards that Bill and Gloria is very lengthy and can be found on Wikipedia. The most impressive to me is 2000: Christian "Songwriter of the Century" (with Gloria Gaither): American Society of Composers and Publishers (ASCAP)[11] I did not even know there was such an award. The group is incredible! It blessed me greatly watching your reaction to this song! I listen to this one a lot! God Bless you!

[@Gracie-SavedByGrace]

Thank you, thank you for this powerful Spirit filled reaction!!!!!!

[@janietanner6440]

I’ve followed the GVB for years and loved loved loved watching you enjoy their great talents. ♥️

[@dianedove1000]

The Gaither Vocal Band has been singing for many years. A couple members have come and gone, but they are always excellent! Mark Lowery, who wrote “Mary Did You Know” was a member. They have some great songs out there. So happy to see you dipping into classic gospel! If you’ve never watched a Gaither Homecoming video, it’s a must!

[@johnspring9428]

I love your reaction to David Phelps, he is amazing and definitely one of my favorites

[@Rosannasfriend]

I got to tell you the guy with the long gray hair is also a bad ass singer. You need to watch videos with him singing as well. Of course, David is David. Everyone is a vocal beast in this band, but those are the two to watch like the most often.

[@johnnycombs7459]

Guy Penrod

[@AllieSierdsma]

Guy penrod ?

[@dzy4u]

Yes! Guy Penrod! Love that man's voice, and he also is so nice ... no big ego ...

[@williamwilkins3046]

You could have just said a great singer

[@4everTobylover]

If you love harmonies, this is the band! Listen to Saved By Grace.

[@douglasbenton4889]

Your reaction to this was great. I’ve had this song on repeat many times, you captured what I still feel when I listen to it.

[@willcupp9041]

I have been listening to David for years, over half of the gospel music industry is sitting behind him, some has gone on home to sing for the Lord. But watching this video that I have watched thousands of times before, I got more enjoyment out of watching you. Starting around 9:03 when David hits that note, it hit you, I seen it in your eyes and you just about come up out of that chair in which got me shouting. Thank you for educating us so beautifully on singers abilities it really has help me understand how difficult doing this is, you are a talented young man, may God keep his hand on you throughout your journey. I love to watch the Holy Spirit come down. Bill and Gloria Gaither brought many singers together and cut tapes, the best of the best are in them, and Bill Gaither had the Gaither vocal group in which David sang with them a few years. I hope you listen to him sing to Billy Graham’s wife, it is well with my soul. It will give you the chills. Thank you again for a wonderful reaction.

[@wps626]

David Phelps is unreal...you also need to check out Guy Penrod singing the Revelation Song!! Seriously!! Guy and David actually sing a couple songs together that are unreal as well

[@crysally]

I'm just finding all these reaction videos to the GVB and David Phelps and I'm so amazed that so many people didn't know them. Their voices are amazing!! My favs from i was a little girl is Guy Penrod and David Phelps! This song in particular lifts me up outta my chair EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!

[@susanodell4538]

I love this song and their performance was heavenly. Your reaction also was great and your appreciation of their talent is wonderful. Thank you! Praise God!!!!

[@mikeking2833]

Awesome, just awesome. Literally!!

[@joycook3093]

I just watched you watch David Phelps thru four different songs and I have laughed and rejoiced watching you react!! He is amazing, isn't he! Thank you!

[@andrewstutts5753]

Bro if you really want to feel the spirit from David Phelps, listen to his original song The End of the Beginning. As many times as I have heard it, I still get chills to this day when I hear it.

[@MrJd0508]

Thank you, thank you!!! Love, love love this group and David Phelps is the best on this planet for tenor singers. This song is so amazing and so Holy Spirit led that you can't help but feel him move. This song is not played on the Gaither tours unless David is with them. Bill himself said that no one else will sing it unless David is in it, as it's his (David Phelps) song. David was blown away when Bill told him that.

[@patrickg.1170]

David Phelps is unmatched. Phenom. Been following him from his first GVB appearance.

[@MoMoMyPup10]

David don't play. And yep they all slay. Power in music!

[@AllieSierdsma]

David Phelps is the high notes - everyone loses it from him and he’s in his own league - gifted Russ Taff is good Guy Penrod is good too It’s southern gospel quartet it’s supposed to be traditional sounding & show off at the end !! Also very gospel thing for key change at the end and take it up a notch! With big ending Also react to anything else that David Phelps sings you’ll love it

[@HOYANA2024]

12-09-2023 THE LORD TOLD ME:"CONTINUE DOING THE WELL AND SPREADING THE LOVE "!!! AMÉM!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤BRASIL

[@kimberlygarwood-jl5om]

One of my favorite songs. Love your reaction. God bless.

[@marybradley210]

These are They is another great David Phelps performance.

[@lisafiraben2589]

David Phelps and Guy Penrod have hands down the best voices. Incredible God given talent!

[@tammydodge388]

The Gaither Vocal Band is a force. The Holy Spirit is free to flow their music. Check out the song "I Then Shall Live" from their reunion sessions. Powerful stuff. They are more about touching your spirit than entertaining you, and they are really good at it! Great reaction!

[@rictodd2343]

This always gives me Holy Ghost Bumps!! 🤣

[@rebeccanguyenasher8427]

The Gaither's men's group is one of my favorites💗💗🙏🙏 Guy Penrod is amazing..... but they all are.

[@uploadingjoy9120]

This concert took place a few months after 9/11 in Carnegie Hall.

[@juliekeller9932]

Listen to "He's Alive" and "We shall behold Him"....will blow you away!!!

[@itsmetara3773]

Nice! I needed some church tonight!

[@davidbocanegraramirez9480]

Love your reaction bro god bless

[@ASyler]

The beautiful idea behind the Vocal Band is that the members each are some of the greatest performers in the Christian music industry by themselves, but then together they make an all-star "quartet" with incredible tight harmonies with feature verses & songs that are out of this world. Eventually they added a fifth member to tighten the harmony even more... but having David Phelps, a mega-tenor, to "bat cleanup" as Bill Gaither calls it is just not fair. He is one of the greatest male vocalists EVER. Looking forward to some more David Phelps reactions, can't wait to see which one you do next.

[@kens32052]

Bill Gaither called David Phelps his clean-up hitter. He would always knock it out of the park. lol.

[@mariemorris836]

Brilliant, only brilliant!!!!

[@AprilG72271]

Love love LOVE YOUR REACTION TO THIS!

[@suzannecolson324]

Yes! It's the Gaither Vocal Band! David's coming up soon!

[@jamesalsante2388]

Guy Pinrod is the long haired guy. He sings the lead part. There are 4 parts - tenor is david, guy penrod is the lead, Russ taft is the baritone, and bill gaither is the bass...

[@ratso4443]

“The Son has made us free and free indeed,” is awesome. Bravo Gaither.

[@emmie320]

Isn't this just phenomenal? I've been watching you review David, and now you've been appropriately introduced to The Gaither Vocal Band. Guy Penrod is the other tenor you heard. :)

[@2BoxerMama]

I love your reactions!! Won’t He do it!! 🙌🏼

[@DrPaul-xf4no]

Gettin the Holy Spirit up in here! 🙏🙌 I remember watching this on DVD with my dad shortly after 911.. When this came on.. Halfway thru I lost it and needed a box of tissues lol. Beautiful song delivered with lots of emotion ❤

[@lindaslater7782]

Bill Gaither once commented that this song "belonged to David" and he'd never perform it, again, unless David was singing with them. To my knowledge, Bill has held on to that comment and has never done it without David.

[@karenyoung4260]

My favorite part is always watching Russ Taff’s reactions!

[@tinasmallwood9546]

I've been to one of their concerts...and it is unbelievable. Bill Gaither, the older man is the one who gathers the singers (he himself if the bass) to form the band. Through the years the members have changed... but Bill, David and Guy are always there. I love them.. great reaction!!

[@ezcleghorn4025]

David nor Guy are always there. Guy hasn't been with them since 2009. David left in about 2005 and then left again in about 2016ish. Not to mention over a decade before either of them joinned.

[@reginanull671]

That is Guy Pernod (long hair) David Phelps, Russ Taff and then Bill Gaither is the one on the far right singing bass. He and his wife Gloria started Gaither Vocal Band and produce a music for a lot of the groups individually! They are amazing! I’m 42 years old and went to my first concert when I was 7 or 8 yrs old!

[@kens-jr2vv]

I saw an interview where Bill Gaither called David his "Cleanup Hitter". The bases loaded and David would come up to the plate and hit it out of the park. lol.

[@2BoxerMama]

The one with long hair is Guy Penrod…. He is also amazing!!

[@shirleybuxton7301]

Great reaction and appropriate

[@royhollyfield1826]

David awesome, the guy with long gray hair is Guy Penrod , great singer also.. Beside the incredible voices is the anointing of the true Holy Spirit of God loving and drawing you to him....

To "ThatSinger".. You have a nice voice, would love to hear you sing.

[@cheribeeten6712]

[@johnrodrigues5974]

Bill Gaither is the man on the far right. Him and his wife Gloria started the group.
