It was an Honor to know Hale and Wilder and Ovid Young their arranger. Bob was a guest in my Home a few times and had the priviledge to drive Dean from Birmingham to Mobile. My Lincon was leaning to one side the whole way.

Their voices were so perfectly matched. Dean sang " When God speaks" and just blew me away. I have fond memories of hearing them preform many times and sat on the edge of the pew the whold time.

Whoa! Does anyone have a videoclip of a live performance of Hale and Wilder they would care to post on youtube?

@heesendr In light of your question, I came across a short clip of a Robert Hale recital piece from 2002-03 that I posted under favorites today.

I had a couple of their albums and the songbooks. Used to often sing their songs with a bass/baritone in our church--"Rise Up O Men of God" was always well received. Unfortunately it was all destroyed in a fire in '97 and I haven't been able to find any music or piano scores. Thanks for the clip, Daryl. Rich Booker, Tacoma, Washington.

Has anyone a copy of H&W singing "The Omnipotence"? Probably on an out of print album but I'm always surprised at what shows up on YouTube!

@scarvervideo Ahh OK. I listen on the Internet and they didn't start displaying song metadata until recently due to legal issues. MGBU

I know of the the radio station & what you have said about their recordings library. It is through that station that I came to know of Hale & Wilder & then sought out the recordings for purchase & found many on Amazon several years back.
