Louisville, KY– Gospel music legend George Younce made a special appearance with Signature Sound recently on the stage of the National Quartet Convention. A packed Freedom Hall looked on as the now retired Cathedral bass made his way to the stage amidst thunderous applause from thousands of supporters.
Due to health-related issues, Younce has made few personal appearances in the past year. However, health proved no obstacle for the seasoned veteran of the stage as he immediately took control of Signature Sound's set, bestowing his blessings on the group that had just two nights before won the Singing News Fan Award for Horizon Group of the Year.
Younce, a frequent recipient of Singing News Fan Awards himself, thanked the thousands of on-lookers for their prayers and support of him and his family. He concluded his appearance with his trademark performance of the Gospel music standard, "Suppertime."
The moment was truly special for Signature Sound tenor Ernie Haase, who is son-in-law to the legendary bass singer. Ernie continues to give credit to both George Younce and the late Glen Payne (co-founders of the Cathedral Quartet) whether directly or indirectly for being instrumental in creation of the Signature Sound Quartet.

George's appearance on the NQC stage made the whole trip to NQC worthwhile. The night was only paralleled by the phone conversation held over the PA with Glen Payne two years ago.
George is a great bass singer,but my opinion is that SSQ needs to quit holding on to George(and Cathedrals Legacy)and show what they will do theirself.
