When you are talking about Gold City, everyone knows that you are talking about the cream of the crop in Southern Gospel Music. I found it very interesting to see the evolvement of this great quartet. Believe it or not, Gold City did not just start out one day as a great quartet. As you watch this video, you can see the maturing of this group, moving from change to change. Some changes were major, and some changes were subtle, but every change made a permanent change for the better.
This video is most interesting because you see the changes as various group members sing on different songs. While the sound of every Gold City group has been above par, the progression can be seen as each group sings, up to the present group.
All of the songs on the video are Gold City Classics, starting with “In My Robe Of White, and “John Saw”, covering several number one songs, and including their “Song of the Year” “The Rose A Lamb”. There are a couple of my favorite Gold City songs on this video, including, “Under Control”, “I’m Not Giving Up”, “When He Calls” and “It’s Still The Cross.”
Also included on this video is the new concept video in the form of “The Patriotic Medley” This one moving video is worth the price of the video in itself. It is very moving, especially in these troubling times.
I think that it would be nice if every group who has been in the industry for ten years or so, would make a biographical video so we could all see how they have evolved.

This is a very good video. I loved going back and listening to Brian singing "John Saw" and Ivan singing "Midnight Cry". I also like listening to what people in the industry had to say about Gold City! I think every Gold City fan should buy this video!
I met Gold City during the "poor" days.Even then they were the best.They are now and always will be THE BEST quartet that has ever been.They are not stuck on themselves and they treat "fans" as friends that means a lot to me. I love Tim Riley like I do my Daddy,he is the best.
An interesting video. Many good songs, and Gold City are one of the best groups. The only minus is that there are no menu and everything is in one track.
