New Video from the "Artists formerly known as The Imperials" on their upcoming 2008 Release "Standing Strong" The new record is the best the group has sounded in 20 years.......Armond still has the magic!!!
hmmm several years back i went to see the imperials in Temple Texas at Bethel Assembly Of God and there were three young guys and Armond who was running the show his son was one of the young guys. i bought a cd had some cool songs, Gabriels lips are on the trumpet, Big God, tons of awesome songs Armonds son testified that his dad had a old propecy come true to write songs while he had been sick in hospital and he wronte and sang the winds of change awesome song
As has been alluded to, The Imperials (the original group) no longer exists. The Classic Imperials (Armond Morales, David Will, Paul Smith and Rick Evans)continues to carry the Imperials tradition.
I really started listening to The Imperials when Paul Smith was the lead (good to see him back), but the Russ Taff era was when the group enjoyed their greatest popularity.
Didn't know that any of the former members of the group were still traveling. Not too bad for replacing the original group. Nothing like the group from the 70's.
I just saw the Classic Imperials in Youngstown , OH . on Thurs. 6.17.10 and they did this song and it was INCREDIBLE !! Their harmonies , their personalities were all GREAT !
I was SOOOO impressed and then @ the end , they let us take photos , talk with them , and it was just terrific !! I've been talkin' to Armond & Rick for awhile now and I finally got to meet them !! God Bless U CLASSIC IMPERIALS !! Tim Davis , 6-22-10
I believe it is over but these aren't the ones doing the suing; it was Armond's son's band (who are officially The Imperials after Armond sold them the group) who did the suing. I am not saying that to take sides just pointing out a general fact and not trying to say who is right and who is wrong. I would; however, keep both bands in your prayers as I am sure this took a real toll on everyone involved.
Where does the lawsuit stand at this point? Have these fine gentlemen decided to stop suing their elders? Maybe just me - but I miss the classic approach.
hi , yes , " Watergrave " is an absolute terrific song for baptising ! That whole album " Sail On " is very good ! Luv It .. For me , I got turned onto the Imperials with the song " A Thing Called Love " from the opening of Elvis' concert in Vegas . I wished I'd discovered how terrific these guys are . My fave song is " He Loves Me So " from the album ' Just Because ' .. Those harmonies !!!!!!!! just awesome !!!!!!!!! Tim .

This was my mom's favorite band. They are responsible for her Christian growth. Good tunes! Watergrave is still their best song!
