- George Wilson Younce (February 22, 1930 - April 11, 2005) was an American bass singer, known for performing with Southern gospel quartets, especially The Cathedrals. In this video I go to his grave site and honor the great legend and war veteran George Younce.
Born in Patterson, North Carolina, Younce was the youngest of four siblings.[2] His father was his biggest influence when young Younce decided he wanted to be a singer.[2]:12 In 1936, the Younce family moved to Lenoir, North Carolina.[2]:20 At the age of 15 in his hometown, George received his first taste of Southern Gospel music.[3] As a teenager, Younce joined his first quartet, known as the Spiritualaires.[4] When his voice changed, he switched to the bass part that he would sing for the rest of his life.[5]
Over the next decade he traveled with such groups as the Homeland Harmony Quartet, The Weatherfords, the Florida Boys, and the Blue Ridge Quartet. In September 1963, the "Cathedral Trio", became the official vocal group of Rex Humbard's "Cathedral of Tomorrow" in Akron, Ohio.[2]:153 In November 1964, Younce joined forces with lead singer Glen Payne, Tenor Bobby Clark and Baritone/Piano Player Danny Koker to form the "Cathedral Quartet" out of the "Cathedral Trio".[2]:159 They toured the world for 36 years.
Younce performed on the Gaither Homecoming Tour, at Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York City, and at the Billy Graham Crusades in Cleveland, Ohio and Nashville, Tennessee. His television appearances include the "Rex Humbard Hour", the "Gospel Singing Jubilee", the “Bill Gaither Homecoming Hour”, NBC’s Today Show, The Nashville Network, “Prime Time Country”, and “The Statler Brothers Show”.
Younce was a 14-time recipient of the Singing News Fan Award for “Favorite Southern Gospel Bass” singer. He was Gospel Music’s "Living Legend" of the year in 1988, was inducted into the "Southern Gospel Music Hall of Fame" located in Dollywood in 1998, also inducted in the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1999.[6] He was awarded the 2004 SGN Scoops Diamond “Lifetime Achievement Award”. He recorded well over 100 projects including the award-winning “Symphony of Praise” with the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Younce also wrote several Southern Gospel songs including the classic "Yesterday".[citation needed]
In 1998, Younce recorded the first of three solo projects. Two were GMA nominees for Dove Awards in the Southern Gospel Album of the Year category. The third presents a collection of some of his favorite hymns.[citation needed]
With the death of his long-time friend and Cathedrals partner Glen Payne in October 1999, and Younce's failing kidneys, the Cathedrals retired in December 1999. In the fall of 2000, he appeared for the first time without the Cathedrals as a solo performer in Parkersburg, West Virginia on a show called "An Evening with George Younce and Ernie Haase". Late in his career, he sang with The Old Friends Quartet, which included his son-in-law, former Cathedral tenor Ernie Haase and Southern Gospel legend Jake Hess and baritone Wesley Pritchard and pianist Garry Jones. Younce also provided the voice for some of the characters in several of the Bill Gaither produced "Gaither's Pond" children's videos. Although he had to stop officially touring, he did make occasional "special appearances" with son-in-law Ernie's new quartet Ernie Haase and Signature Sound, and with his friend Bill Gaither and the Homecoming Tour.

Favorite bass singer. George younce 😢😢
Loved George, got to see him and meet him several times. I knew Tara also. Thanks for posting. I live in Cleveland, I gotta drive down there sometime.
I cant tell what has always drawn me to ultra-bass singers, but George Younce had to rank up there in the top of the genre.
Thank you for that!
Ty for showing this!
Foi um dos maiores baixos que já existiu e mesmo idoso cantava bem ainda.
Com certeza,com certeza. Sou muito fã dele.😔🙏😔

Which place his grave located
If this is the singer he was over 100 yes old
I believe you are thinking of George Beverly Shea who sang for Billy Graham
@@fredfranklin2054Yes, because George Younce died in 2005 at the age of 75. George Beverly Shea died in 2013 at the age of 104. Even if George Younce was still alive today, he'd only be 93.
George died years ago
I spent 4 days in heaven while in a coma. George isn't there.
The price was paid. So there is no reason to visit graveyards, theres noone there. Emptiest place on earth.
