Fun Friday–But Did You Know I Can Sing, Too?

When I was a member of the “seven-year church,” I used to do a lot of special music—solos, duets, ensembles, and a stint singing in a Southern Gospel Quartet. I thought I’d share a little of that with you today.

You can’t have a real Southern Gospel quartet without singing this song:


Phil Bush, Ronnie Hoffmann, Kaye Dacus, and Daniel Collett (“Unified”)
singing “He Touched Me” at Una Baptist Church, June 22, 2002

. . .


Kaye Dacus, Michelle Lesley (my sister), and Scott Lesley (my brother-in-law)
singing “John, the Revelator” at Una Baptist Church late 1990s/early 2000s

. . .


Phil Bush, Ronnie Hoffmann, Kaye Dacus, and Daniel Collett (“Unified”)
singing “Get Away Jordan” at Una Baptist Church, June 22, 2002

. . .


Kaye Dacus singing “Scars and Stripes”
at Una Baptist Church, June 22, 2002

. . .

This one is another Southern Gospel staple:


Phil Bush, Ronnie Hoffmann, Kaye Dacus, and Daniel Collett (“Unified”)
singing “Sinner, Saved by Grace” at Una Baptist Church, June 22, 2002

. . .


Kaye Dacus singing “He Keeps Me Singing”
at Una Baptist Church, Nashville, TN, late 1990s/early 2000s

. . .


Phil Bush, Ronnie Hoffmann, Kaye Dacus, and Daniel Collett (“Unified”)
singing “Get Up, Get Ready” at Una Baptist Church, June 22, 2002

    You have a beautiful voice, Kaye! And Sinner Saved by Grace is one of my very favorite songs. I love the Cathedrals’ version.

      The version we did was the Gaither Vocal Band version—David Phelps is my favorite male vocalist, mostly because we have the same vocal range!

    Kaye you have a beautiful voice. It’s fun to see you {almost} live and in person too! :)

      It’s scary to me how old all these clips are. I left that church in 2003!

      I’m hoping to join the choir at my new church when they start rehearsing again in August.

    Thanks for sharing Kaye. You have a beautiful voice and it was neat to watch you on video, especially with your sister and brother-in-law.

      We haven’t gotten to do that since that video was shot, so I’m really glad they had the chance to come to Nashville so we could record it for posterity.

    I agree with everyone; you have a beautiful singing voice! Thanks for sharing these videos. It’s so neat to find out more about one of my favorite writers. :)

      Michelle, I loved it! LOVE to hear family members singing together. There’s a blending that you just don’t get with anyone else!

    Wow, great singing voice! I especially liked your solo video…you sounded terrific!

    What a pretty voice! I’m partial to “John the Revelator,” because my dad is a bass singer. I used to play the organ (Hey, it was the 70′s, and I was a teenager…anything to get in on the act) along with the quartet he sang in, while my grandmother beat it out on the piano! LOVE “Sinner Saved by Grace.” One of my favorites. Thanks for sharing!!
