One of the treasures in gospel music is a video of The Singing Disciples.  This group really made an impact in gospel music during the 90s.  This hard hitting group from Baltimore, Maryland was on the Atlanta International Records label.  This videos, Reach Out, is one of two they did on the label.  The other being Live In Baltimore. 

The members of the group on the video that is the subject of this review are Jack Branche, Lacy Wright, Melvin Kim Derr, Robert Evans and Paul Houston.  They are at their best on this video.  Lacy Wright has one of the smoothest voices in gospel music.  To see him perform "To See His Face" and "Cross of Calvary" really makes you appreciate his awesome talents.  And, that is not to take anything away from the talents of the other lead singers, Jack Branche and Melvin Kim Derr.  

In 1995, The Singing Disciples recorded the video that is the subject of this review.  We are not told where the recording actually ocurred.  Neither are we given the specific date of the recording.  In spite of not knowing this information, this is still a powerful gospel quartet video. 

The sixty (60) minutes video begins with “Reach Out.”  The other songs on the video are “To See His Face,” “What A Day,” “Walk Through The Valley,” “Cross of Calvary,” “Steal Away,” “Rapture,” and “Do Lord, Remember Me.”

The production on this project is great.  The auditorium where the recording took place was a great venue for the recording.  The stage was definitely large enough for all of the members of the group and the musicians. 

The live recording was well attended and the audience was certainly an integral part of this recording from the beginning to the end.  And the guys did not disappoint the attendees.  They were awesome on very song.  Because of good lighting you are able to really see the enjoyment on the attendees’ faces and share in their joy.           

The quality of the sound is superb.  There are no variations at all in the recording level of the songs.  The lighting is outstanding.  As a result of good lighting, there are great camera shots.  There are many close-ups of the members of the group.  There are very clear shots of the audience. 

If you are looking for a great gospel quartet video that captures the essence of The Singing Disciples, then you will want to add this video to your collection.  You get a full song service, about sixty minutes of the best of The Singing Disciples.  This video definitely deserves to be in your collection.
