1. JIM REEVES

James Travis "Jim" Reeves (August
20, 1923 – July 31, 1964) was an
American country and popular music
singer-songwriter. With records
charting from the 1950s to the 1980s,
he became well known as a practitioner
of the Nashville sound (a mixture of
older country-style music with
elements of popular music). Known as
"Gentleman Jim", his songs continued
to chart for years after his death.
Reeves died in the crash of a private
airplane. He is a member of both the
Country Music and Texas Country Music
Halls of Fame.

He is also responsible for popularizing
many gospel songs, including " We Thank
Thee", "Take My Hand, Precious Lord",
"Across The Bridge", "Where We'll
Never Grow Old "

2. RON KENOLY

Ron Kenoly (born December 6, 1944)
is an American Christian worship leader ,
singer , and songwriter whose
expressed mission is "to create an
environment for the manifest presence
of God". His musical style is one of
jubilant praise and individual excellence
on musical instruments. Although
Kenoly himself only plays on one of his
recordings, he leads comfortably with
his voice and is always backed up by
musicians and a large choir.
He holds several degrees, including a
music degree from Alameda College, a
Master of Divinity from Faith Bible
College, and a Doctorate of Ministry in
Sacred music from Friends
International Christian University .
His music career began following time
spent in the United States Air Force.
He was originally with a group called
The Mellow Fellows, but family issues
caused him to leave the group. His
critical success came in 1992 when Lift
Him Up became the fastest selling
worship album to that point.
Welcome Home was also critically
acclaimed, becoming Billboard's "Top
Indie Contemporary Christian music
album",and winning a Gospel Music
Association Dove Award for "Praise and
Worship Album" in 1997. He was
signed to Integrity Music , but is no
longer recording for them.
He began working in full-time ministry
in 1985. He started out as a worship
leader at Jubilee Christian Center in San
Jose, California. Not long after that, in
1987, he was ordained and installed as
Music Pastor. As worship leader, his
sole focus was leading worship service.
When he became Music Pastor, he
became the shepherd over the entire
music department at Jubilee Christian
Center. In 1993, after the success of 2
Integrity recordings, he started
receiving invitations from all over the
world. Churches not only wanted him
to come lead praise and worship, but
also to help them develop their music
departments. So shortly afterwards, he
was named Ambassador of Music at
Jubilee Christian Center. He was sent
out from the church as an ambassador
to the world to help churches develop
and find the balance between worship
and the Word. In 1996, he received his
Doctorate in Ministry of Sacred Music.
In 1999, he felt the call to move from
California to the East Coast . So, he
relocated the ministry to Central
Florida where he continues to travel,
speak, sing and teach and record. He
sings over all the world. Kenoly has also
written a few books, one of them
written with his pastor, Dick Bernal.

His songs are;
Jesus Is Alive
1992: Lift Him Up with Ron Kenoly
1994: God Is Able
1995: Sing Out with One Voice
1996: Welcome Home among many
