George Beverly Shea - sang at Billy Graham Rallies Dies at 104

##snip##

MONTREAT, N.C. - Canadian-born gospel singer George Beverly Shea, whose booming baritone voice echoed through stadiums, squares and souls during a decades-long career with evangelist Billy Graham, died Tuesday. He was 104.
 
Billy Graham Evangelistic Association spokesman Brent Rinehart said Shea died in Asheville, N.C., after a brief illness.
 
Shea's rendition of "How Great Thou Art" came to define the faith of a Protestant generation that Graham helped bring to Jesus Christ. He performed live before an estimated 200 million people at crusades over the years — taking him from North Dakota to North Korea and beyond.
 
He joined Graham's crusade team in 1947 and stayed until Graham's declining health ended most of the evangelist's public appearances nearly 60 years later.

Nineteen primitive comments, and nary a negative one.

However, this is in Latest Breaking News and not General Discussion, so that might explain it.

I never heard him, but I never knew anyone who thought his singing was less than awesome.

I don't think I've heard him before.  I'm going to see if I can find a video on youtube.

You're right, frank.  He was good.

His singing was beyond awesome.

His gift was as great as Billy Graham's.

It couldn't be simple chance that brought together two such incredible men.
