LAST OF FIVE ALBUMS WITH RUSS TAFF.GRAMMY AWARD WINNER
From pioneers to headliners in CCM
The Imperials surprised gospel music fans in February 1972 by hiring , a former member of and the Disciples to replace Greg Gordon. This made them the first interracial Christian group America had ever seen, which Andrus jokingly referred as: "to boldly go where no black man had gone before." The lineup of the group stayed stable with Andrus and Terry Blackwood sharing lead vocals through 1975 when Joe Moscheo left just after recording of Follow the Man with the Music. The following year, the pair themselves left to form act .
In Early 1976, the group hired baritone David Will, who would stay on for 23 years with the group, and soulful belter as their new lead vocalist. The Taff-led outfit is heard on the albums Sail On, Imperials Live, Heed the Call, One More Song for You, Christmas With the Imperials, and Priority. It was during this era that the group found their biggest success, both with awards and on the charts.
