The Messengers Quartet

Pontiac, Michigan

Recorded June 1992

Trivia: This was David’s first project with us. He had joined us in July of 1991 and had spent a year working with us to learn twelve new songs. We featured David on the title song “Champion Of Love”. We transitioned gradually from Sonny to David during July-August 1991. His first appearance with us was down at the Little Blue River congregation out in the middle of the cornfields of central Indiana. The five of us took the stage together with David and D doubling up on the baritone parts.

Sonny’s last performance with us was at the Westerville Ohio concert that August, During the second half of the program, Sonny sat down and let David stand on his own while D moved to the bass.

Sonny also went with us to Shults-Lewis Annual Day that September. We always stayed with Ed & Carol Lewis in Chesterton and that night we threw a very funny and touching “farewell” party for Sonny, Joye, and their girls. We had a big skit about all the famous people that auditioned for Sonny’s part (people like Regis Philben & Kathy Lee, Steve Urkel, Richard Simmons, James Brown, Willie Nelson, The Double Mint Twins, etc.).
