About Me

DISCLAIMER: THIS IS NOT THE OFFICIAL MYSPACE OF LEGACY FIVE. IT IS A FANSITE CREATED AND RUN BY AARON SWAIN. THANK YOU!
Moving on... I will try to be as accurate as possible by using this bio...
Roger Bennett and Scott Fowler were members of the Cathedrals together from the time Fowler joined the group in 1990. The two men formed a friendship and became business partners, producing recordings for up and coming groups when they werent touring. When the Cathedrals completed their Farewell Tour in 1999, Fowler and Bennett formed a new group, hiring Glen Dustin (bass), Josh Cobb (tenor), and Scott Howard (baritone). In light of their heritage with the Cathedrals, they adopted the name Legacy Five.
Highly acclaimed in 2000 with songs like I Stand Redeemed and Stepping Out On The Water from their Strong In The Strength recording, the readers of the Singing News responded by nominating all three of Legacy Fives new faces as Horizon Individuals. (Bennett and Fowler werent eligible.) Josh Cobb won the award, but he and the group parted ways two days later. The group also won in the Horizon Group category that year. Tony Jarman was ultimately chosen to replace Cobb.
Legacy Five followed up their debut with the recordings Heroes Of The Faith and London. The latter is reminiscent of the Cathedrals project Symphony Of Praise in that it mixes Southern Gospel vocal harmonies with a philharmonic orchestra. This release produced the groups first number one single, I Found Grace, which topped the chart in September of 2003. Jarman resigned from the group to pursue a solo career in 2004, and was replaced at tenor by Frank Seamans, a former member of The Sound, the same group that brought Scott Fowler to the attention of the Cathedrals. Legacy Five released a project titled Monuments in 2004.
- David Bruce Murray
To add to Mr. Murray's bio... Legacy Five also recorded Songs We Used to Sing, a tribute to Roger and Scott's Cathedral days. This recording featured Josh Cobb as tenor. When Jarman joined the group, they recorded Heritage Volumes 1, 2, and 3, which was a collection of renditions of classic hymns and arrangements. Since the Monuments project, the group has released A Little Taste of Heaven in 2005 and A Cappella in 2006.
The group has recently released Live In Music City, a recording featuring all new songs at a concert during their annual Labor Day Weekend Celebration.
