The Sharp's Quartet

The Sharps Quartet, 1984-present,  one of Alabama's most recognized and awarded Gospel groups will be the featured artist this week on the Gospel Jubilee.The Sharps, a Southern Gospel Quartet, was organized 35 years ago by founder and owner, Joel Sharp, with the goal of ministering to the Troubled and the Lost, about our savior, “Jesus Christ”.  Go to: http://encouragement.podhoster.com/Way back in 1984, the ORIGINAL members of "The Sharps" at that time were all family members or somehow tied into the family, and the group stayed thatway until 1989. The group traveled and sang for over 20 years with a live band until the economy crashed in 2008.However, the group has been fortunate to not see that many changes in personnel.  When Joel, the founder of the group, retired in 2012 the group facedits' toughest task - whether to retire the group OR recreate an image that many had known for 25 plus years.Andy, who is the last original member that STILL travels and sings today, stepped into the "leader's" shoes and decided (with the help of his son Ben)the group would continue on until God said it was time.The group is still based out of Fort Payne, Alabama. While the group shares the notoriety of being from the same hometown as the Country music supergroup,Alabama, they are leaving their own mark on music, just in the gospel music side.  While traveling mainly a five-state area in the Southeast, the quartethas a full time singing schedule.The quartet is comprised and owned by father and son,  Andy and Ben Sharp, who sing tenor and baritone parts respectively.  They are also joined by theirlead singer Mike Leath, who has over 10 years with the group, and their newest member to the quartet, bass singer, Mike "Smitty." Or if you have an Echo you can say, Alexa, tell Spreaker to play the Gospel Jubilee.Playlist: 01. The Blackwood Brothers Quartet - That's what was good about the good ole days02.
