Fantastic Bright Clouds

Throughout the United States, The Fantastic Bright Clouds have become one of America's most outstanding gospel sensations.The group was formed in Rochester, New York in 1967. The Lord has called home Benjamin Brown (the original lead singer), Abraham Close (guitarist), Rev. Thomas Thurman (lead vocalist) and Robert Hurrell (background vocalist). Through it all these mature males continued to exalt the name of Jesus and inspire multitudes through their singing. The group begin to walk their own distinctive direction but it is still evident today that they are led by God and working desperately for God. The Bright Clouds are precisely built on solid ground. The winds have blown and the storms have come, yet the group has perserved, and today expands beyond their 37 year jubilee. The legendary group believes that only what you do for Christ will last. The group further exemplifies a zeal for God which is exhibited in each of their albums. These prodigious men have been exalted by God and their faith and their prayer life continue to elevate them to greater horizons. The Bright Clouds strive to be more than just a gospel singing group and more than just standard bearers. They stand tall in their ministry and belief in God. The Bright Clouds would like to thank the people that God has provided them with to help spread the word of the gospel: Dr. Rev. Douglas Smith (Pastor of Emmanuel Missionary Baptist Church), Rev. James Otis Smith, Roosevelt (bud) Council and the gospel community of Rochester, NY as well as the nation. A special thanks to the gospel announcers who play our music and the fans who listen. Without each of you our ministrycould not go forward and flurish. To each of our wives and families, we thank you in a way that words cannot express. Your love, support and most of all prayers have seen our group through when we needed it most. We love you all! Most of all, we want to thank the Lord. We realize that without you not only would this music not be possible, but nothing would be. Thank you Jesus
