Fantastic..i never realized that Jim and Armando went that far back with the group.

@guitarplayer096 Far left, the tenor. Good guy there.
-
@TVWriterGuy Which one is jim?

It's about how great its gonna be and that we're going to be worry-free and able to praise Jesus all the time and forever! It doesn't imply that heaven is about us at all, that's just how you inferred it.

Interesting that Murray and morales backed up Elvis from 1969-72 and Hess and Morales backed him up on two of his gospel albums in 66 and 72. They won Grammys

@James35031 YOUR RIGHT ABOUT THAT JAMES. JIM HAND JUST JOINED THE GOUP. BOTH THOSE GUYS WERE GREAT TENORS. SHERRILL SANG WITH ELVIS FOR A FEW YEARS. MY FAVORITE IMPERIALS GROUP WAS, JIM MURRAY, TERRY BLACKWOOD ROGER WILES, AND ARMOND MORALES WITH JOE M ON THE PIANO. THOSE WERE THE DAYS

*dislike* This implies that Heaven is all about us, and that God is all about us...and that simply is not true.

Jim Murray was with Jake Hess & The Imperials, but the voice on soundtrack was the previous tenor with the Imperials-Sherrill Nielsen.



I have never seen this footage. I know all four of these people from work situations from 15-20 years after this clip would've been shot. Jake became a legend but didn't seem to know it; he was grand to work alongside. Jim, as well, kept a good perspective on things and had an humble heart.
I'll stop there. Thanks for posting!

Time has no meaning with God so how do you know he isn't singing right now? Eternity has no beginning and no end so who knows? And stop being so sarcastic to a fellow Christian. This was not said in love and you know it, more a self righteous spirit. than a loving one. If you feel you must correct someone, do it in love not ridicule.
