Gaither Music has announced new RIAA gold certification (more than 500,000 sold) of its titles Amazing Grace, How Great Thou Art, Get Away Jordan (Ernie Haase & Signature Sound), Together (Gaither Vocal Band/Ernie Haase & Signature Sound) and The Best of Anthony Burger. Seventeen years after the first Gaither Music Group "Homecoming" video was taped, the best-selling series has released more than 125 titles with 113 of those attaining gold, platinum (1 million units) or multi-platinum (more than 2 million sold) RIAA certification. "I never cease to be filled with gratitude and humility that these videos have ministered to the lives of so many fellow pilgrims," Bill Gaither, Gaither Music Group founder, said. "I simply wanted to sing a song with so many of my musical heroes-Jake Hess, Howard and Vestal Goodman, The Speer Family, George Younce and Glen Payne, and some others who were entering the twilight of their careers. But God wasn't through with them yet, and He used the Homecoming stage to introduce their music to a new generation of music lovers. What a blessing that has been!" The newest Gaither DVDs, Country Bluegrass Homecoming, Volumes 1 and 2, will be released Aug. 19. |
