The May 6 Legends concert will be the greatest night of music for the Christian world this year. The brothers have outdone themselves with this line-up of musical legacies. Promised to be a Grammy/Dove Awards extravaganza like no other with five of Christian Music’s biggest ambassadors in musical history, such as “the Queen of Christian Music” Sandi Patty, Russ Taff, Wayne Watson and Kim Boyce. Hosting this year’s event with the Chrisagis Brothers will be musical pioneer Jayne Farrell.
Let’s look at each great Legend:
• Sandi Patty is one of the most acclaimed performers of our time with five Grammy Awards, five billboard Music Awards, four Platinum Records, six Gold Records, and twelve million units sold, Sandi Patty is simply known as “the Voice.” She has been compared to the likes of Whitney Houston and Barbara Streisand with her amazing vocal range and show-stopping style that has left audiences wanting more and critics hailing her as the most dynamic Christian Music Artist in history. Sandi is without a doubt a national treasure with songs like: We Shall Behold Him, Via Dolorosa, and I’ve Just Seen Jesus. Patty is by far the most awarded female in Christian Music with 40 Dove Awards. She was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2004 and was named a Living Legend in 2007.
• Russ Taff is known as the most powerful and electrifying voice Christian Music has ever known. Taff has received 6 Grammy Awards, 18 Dove Awards, and is in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. His life story has been made into a movie called “I Still Believe” and he was featured as one of the ultimate greats in The Jesus Music Film. Russ first gained recognition as lead vocalist for The Imperials. He has also been a member of the Gaither Vocal Band, and occasionally still tours with the Gaither Homecoming Concerts. As a recording artist, Taff is known as one of the most dynamic ambassadors of the gospel and probably the most beloved of all Christian Artists in music history. Taff has God’s heart and that is shown in the music he writes and sings that set captives free, with songs like: Praise The Lord, We Will Stand, and Ain’t No Grave. Russ is a mighty General in God’s army and in the music world. He recorded 12 albums as a solo artist, 8 with the Imperials, 6 with the Gaithers and his 1985 Medals Album has been named the best in the top 20 Albums in Christian Music history.
• Wayne Watson is also noted as one of the great voices and songwriters in Christian Music history. He was one of the top Recording Artists of the 1980’s and 90s and defined the genre with his music style and vocals. His first Album “Working In The Final Hour” became gold and captured a generation of Christian music listeners and radio. Watson has produced 23 #1 hit singles on Christian Radio, he is a winner of 15 Dove Awards, 1 Grammy Award, and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.
• Kim Boyce is one of Christian Music’s most dynamic female stars, her inner beauty and talent, accompanied by her outer beauty and grace, led her to the 1984 Miss America Pageant and she finished as one of the runners up. She went on to be a legendary iconic recording artist for the Christian world. She recorded 7 successful Albums, with 11 #1 hit singles, 3 top music videos and garnered a number of Grammy and Dove Award nominations.
• Jayne Farrell is the wife of legendary songwriter Bob Farrell, who has been named among the greatest songwriters in Christian Music history with the likes of Dottie Rambo and Bill Gaither. Jayne and Bob formed the internationally successful duo Farrell and Farrell. The Farrell’s are noted as two of Christian Music’s Pioneers who started Christian music in the early 70’s. They also were the very first music missionaries who took the Gospel to every nation including behind the Iron Curtain. Their music brought a generation of hippies and teenagers to salvation and brought revival all over the world.
The Chrisagis Brothers will be singing as well, doing tributes to the greats in Christian Music. Don’t miss this amazing Legends extravaganza May 6 at Buckeye Local High School at 6 pm.
