I just heard the “Little Is Much” cut from this project on a Kingsmen compilation I bought last night. Chris does good on it.
Also on the tape is this recording of “In The Garden”. In complete honesty, I thought it was Mike English singing a special with the Kingsmen, ’till I came back here and read it was Randy Miller.

Great CD. I was at this concert by the way. Also recorded the same night was KingsGold IV when Gold City consisted of Parrack, Hill, Trammell, and Riley.
Something worth mentioning, Beautiful Star of Bethlehem when Tim Surrett stepped away from the mic and towards the edge of the stage and the others followed was a very powerful moment. Also as you mentioned “Behold The Master Cometh” went over HUGE. The crowd went nuts.

Kyle is correct about Willie Wynn singing “Little is Much” with the Oaks in the mid-60s. It is on their “I Wouldn’t Take Nothing For My Journey” album. Jim Hamill was the baritone singer on that recording.

Sherrill Nielsen brought this song to Jake Hess and the Imperials when he joined them. He had recorded it on his rare solo album, “A Name I Highly Treasure”, which was released circa 1960. A similar arrangement was released on the Imperials “Talent Times Five” album circa 1964. He also brought it to the Masters V who recorded it circa 1982. It was one of Nielsen’s sugar sticks.

#8: Oh, yeah. I forgot all about “What a Friend”! That and “What Did He Ever…” are a close tie for me. (I have to go find the tape now and listen a bunch.)

I just knew that I heard somewhere that Greater Vision had sang it, but was thinking that they recorded it with Chris Allman. But now that Aaron mentioned it, I remember reading his concert review where Jacob Kitson sang it.

I’ve been hearing a lot of really good things, a lot of buzz about Jacob’s version. I’m really looking forward to hearing it one of these days!

Quaid: Yes, it is the same arrangement. That one is one of the best I have heard, the other being Jacob Kitson’s debut with Greater Vision at a Cathedrals Remembered concert in Winston-Salem, NC on June 28, 2008.

The CD also includes a GREAT song, What a Friend, after Little is Much. Classic Parker Jonathan intro and the group gets after it. Maybe the best song on the project.

So, this is the same arrangement of “Little Is Much” that Legacy 5 did on “Live At The Palace” ?

Levi, I got my cassette tape of this the same way! I recently picked it up and have really enjoyed listening to it in my car! Daniel, thanks for this review and clearing up for me who some of the people are on there.
