it was far from rock...there is really nothing even close to the style

not them! Any ideas?
Bubba chambers, Rick Thigpen, Gary Ingram, Melvin Marr were the main men. I have converted all thier albums over to CD's and mp3 and still enjoy them. Bubba Chambers is on Facebook.

I had an "emotional acceptance encounter" and responded to an altar call at a youth retreat in 1969, but it wasn't until early Feb in 1973 when I completely gave my heart to Jesus. Within 6 weeks I was
I pray thus finds you well and hope to hear more of your journey.Back around 1973 I was in high school and asked to preach at a youth night at a church in Houston. Afterward a band called The Hope of Glory performed in a small house converted to a youth building. Later I went to hear them in concert where it was
