Whether it is Kirk, Mack, Ernie or my personal favorite Danny, there is no doubt that the Cathedrals have been blessed with some of the greatest tenor voices in the history of Southern Gospel music. Voices like these along with Larnelle and David Phelps show the glory of God every day and that is what is truly important. These men are using their gift to gorify the wonderful Creator and Sustainer of life.
@rcayers3yahoo Matt 7:2-5 "For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged [if we judge with an evil heart or dark intent, His judgment of us will reflect it; if we judge nobly with honesty and justice, His judgment of us will reflect that, too], and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you"
He overcame his bout with homosexual tendencies, and its been well documented. My point is basically enjoy the music and shut up.
This is one of the most beautiful songs and I love hearing Kirk Talley sing it. I miss the Cathedrals very much. Thank you for sharing. God Bless You. Gwen Weaver
Why would a person that uploads a video want to argue with people that comment on the video but never say anything bad about the video? Some people just can't help themselves and justr love to argue..
Sorry all, but five years ago I heard a young girl sing this acapella with ten times the amount of emotion, and we were just sitting round the kitchen table. The version above is just a performance. Not exactly a singing hymns "Chained to the wall scenario".
Guess what. I know That Man. HE loves me just as much as He loves you. He will be your dearest friend. I am talking about the Man Christ Jesus. His love is forever. Can you imagine that? Someone who will love you forever. Well, my friend Jesus can.
For those of you who've made the statement that Kirk couldn't belt the notes like Danny, listen to their live in Atlanta cassette which has been uploaded to youtube. Kirk was in his early 20's in that video and definitely in his prime. He belts out some incredible notes and his voice never sounds like it's getting tired throughout the whole concert. I once asked him why he never sings that way anymore and he said, "Things change when you get older"
i didnt know that kirk sang with the cathedrals simply fantastic......will never find a better quartet anywhere except for in their videos;......they were simply amazing
I think it is ridiculous to compare all these men to one another. Kirk, Danny, Bobby, and Mack all have unique combinations that bring a blessing to us all. This Reunion video has been a source of inspiration to me over the years and will continue to be. I thank God for His infinite wisdom and mercy in allowing us to preserve these performances so we can enjoy them over and over!!!
I love the cathedrals and Kirk is good but I would pick Danny over Kirk. Much smoother. Also I would rather listen to Danny as a soloist then Kirk. Kirk does good on the songs he sings but Danny can sing anything.
Kirk is indeed an awesome tenor. Not the belting out style like some, but his tone is great, and he has good pitch, and interpretation. ....this group did the Live in Atlanta record in 83, which is my all time favourite live album.
I agree. Great album. My favorite song on that album is "Rivers of Joy". You may not know this, but when they originally released the album, they did not include "Moving Up to Gloryland" I have the album. When they re-released it, they included it and I got it on cassette.
Just simply doesn't get much better. I agree that no-one does it like Kirk, and he nor The Cathedrals bettered themselves when he left the group. They're all still great, but not like this.
Well, IMO, I heard Danny when he replaced Kirk sing moving up to glory land, and my friend, the shekinah was not the same. I would choose Kirk anytime.
@BnCSGMusic Amon shared with me that Kirk was struggling vocally that night so they put him on when he felt his voice was best. Was not planned this way.
Great thing about various configurations is that u do get ur favorites. I have never heard a better version of this song. Kink, as far as I am concerned was at the top of his form and i still say he sings this song better than anyone ever has
@shodobe1 Agreed, Kirk has always been one of my favorites. Roger, Debra and Lauren as well. The whole Talley family is very anointed. The Cathedrals were great with Kirk on tenor.
George said in the Reunion video that this song of theirs saved many souls. I think that is probably right. It was on the top of the SGM charts for nearly a year.
Here's two other Cathedrals songs from the REUNION video that Kirk helped make famous, and no doubt about it, but Kirk was standing on stage in this video and the following two with the greatest three men in SGM. The first was the one you mentioned, "Step Into The Water" (written by Kirk Talley) @ watch?v=Eh9l83lCyr0 and the second was "Moving Up To Gloryland" (wrote by George Younce) @ watch?v=WfB4hgFqA8A
Thanks for correcting the record. Mr. Abernathy did indeed write both the lyrics and the music of this great old song. Movin' Up To Gloryland was one of the song featured on Gold City's tribute album to Lee Roy Abernathy.
Yes ... lonemapper corrected me. See his note above. I would edit my comment but that's not possible. The correct spelling on his name is LeeRoy not Leroy.
@3caldwell you know,if you love God you do not want any1 to be queers,read Romans 1:26-28,& many other places,it's not only a sin too God,it's an ABOMINATION too Him,so you be your way,i'll be God's way.
A Voice of an Angel! Love this song and the way he sings it..

Kirk Talley is the best tenor that the Cathedrals had or could ever have hope to have. My opinion and probably thousands of others also.
