I do have the Reunion video/album, and his quip to Bobby Clark makes so much more sense now! :) I think the only other album I have that features Mack would be the Cathedrals Family Album - is that right?

I met them at Flint Baptist Temple where I rec'd Him into my life, back in 72, or so. I had no idea how important the two of them were, but I knew they had very talented voices. I had no idea they had come off a stint with The Cathedral's. I wish Mack well, it would be wonderful to see him again and hear his voice in person. I worked with George Webster's wife, at that time, in the Buick Main Office. My wife and I went over to George W's home after sunday nite church and did some fellowship singing with george W at the piano. Not may people know that George was missing a finger. Hello Mack, good to see you on YouTube! What a great tenor voice you have been so blessed with!

My wife and I first meet Mack Taunton when he was with the Cathedrals and they sang at a concert I promoted at Cayuga High School here in Canada. They drove all the way from Akron that day in their Winnabego, sang the concert and then drove home that night. There was Mack, Danny, George and Glen. That was the start of a life long friendship with the Cats. I hadn't see Mack since he left the Cathedrals but would get updates from Glen and George. We attended Glen's funeral in Hendersonville Tenn and meet George Amon, Haskell Cooley, Roy Trembly, Lorne Mathews and Bud Seeker the bus driver before the service. I asked if Mack was coming and they said he was supposed to be there. After the service we exited the auditorium and ran right into Mack in the foyer. How good it was to finally see him again and talk about old times. I'm happy to hear he is doing well. We also enjoyed the 25th Ann tape. It brougtht back alot of memories. Send our best to him from David and Joan Green WE are from Simcoe Ontario Canada. My wife and I first meet Mack Taunton when he was with the Cathedrals and they

I watched the Cathedrals Reunion VHS tape so often that I about wore it out. Your dad was a hoot, and I enjoyed his singing a lot. So, why did Mack Taunton leave the Cathedrals, and what has he done since? Steven, I’ve often wondered why so many singers came and went with the Cathedral Quartet.
