Youtube Find: Perfect Heart – Have A Little Talk With Jesus
I never did pay much attention to the Garry Sheppard era of Perfect Heart (probably because I haven’t heard their stuff!), but this clip was shared with me today and it cracked me up!
A friend of mine made the comment that a couple of these guys missed their calling. Who knew that Mike Presnell (bass singer for several groups over the years) could sing lead so well? Jeff Stice’s vocals were a surprise as well; perhaps Triumphant Quartet should consider giving him a couple features once in a while, à la Roger Bennett with the Cathedrals and Legacy Five.
The lineup here is tenor (pianist) Jeff Stice, lead (bass) Mike Presnell, baritone Joseph Smith, bass (tenor) Garry Sheppard, and pianist (lead) Darren Doyle.
The group actually started this routine when Mark Lanier was with the group. The last concert that I saw him sing with the group, Mark went over to the piano. People loved this routine. And you should definitely listen to the PH albums with Garry. On Time God was one of their best albums.
1Thanks for the recommendation! I’ll have to check it out. I enjoyed the stuff they had with the original lineup, live albums especially.
