We Have Seen His Glory
Acappella has been spreading its message of musical praise since the mid '80s, long beforeTake 6and other vocal groups developed a large following. Their 1991 album,We Have Seen His Glory, amply displays Acappella's diverse influences, from doo-wop ("Glory in His Name") to gospel ("Angels Long to Look Into These Things") to Caribbean ("Talk to Jah"). The roster for this album consisted of singers Duane Adams, Wayburn Dean, Gary Moyers, and George Pendergrass. Group brainchild Keith Lancaster provides most of the words and music, much of it adapted from scripture, while Adams and Pendergrass also contribute. The songs are always celebratory but never preachy.--David Horiuchi
