I have been checking YouTube periodically to see if anyone has posted clips of the new Inspirations lineup in action. It looks like that day has finally arrived:
I Have Not Forgotten
The Rose
Amazing Grace
My immediate reaction: The new Inspirations lineup is similar enough to the old lineup to have everything I liked about it, while different enough to make me sit up and pay attention.
Also:
The biggest plus is that the new Inspirations lineup sounds a lot better than the old one did.
Well, I do wish they did some more classics like “Touring That City” and “When I Get Home”.
I am sure they will once the new guys learn all the songs.
When I saw them back in February soon after the new group was assembled, they did “Touring That City”, “When I Walk on the Streets of Gold”, “When I Wake Up to Sleep No More”, and a lot of other old ones. I’m sure they sang them, the videos just weren’t posted here. I remember them saying something about the new lead singer, David, already knowing basically their entire catalog before he even got “the call”.
