One of Southern Gospel's most popular
vocalists and personalities, George Younce attended a
Stamps-Baxter School of Music, studied shape-note singing and
performed with the Spiritualaires while still a teen.
His love for gospel music led him into a career which included service as a bass singer with the Watchmen, the Homeland Harmony Quartet, the Weatherfords, the Florida Boys, the Blue Ridge Quartet, and-beginning in 1964-the Cathedral Quartet. Over the next three and a half decades, Younce and his close friend Glen Payne guided the Cathedrals to the pinnacle of the Southern Gospel Music industry. The recipient of numerous Southern Gospel awards and honors, Younce was also an accomplished songwriter, composing the quartet standard "Yesterday". |
