The oldest continuous Gospel Quartet in the world, the Heralds have been singing Christ’s praise since 1927. Three brothers – Louis, Wesley, and Waldo Crane – and Ray Turner, began singing together as college students at Southwestern Junior College. Since that time, 26 men have been a part of the group.

However, the Heralds are still as fresh and contemporary as they were three-quarters of a century ago. Always exploring new sounds and harmonies, this premier music group has received numerous awards from "Excellence in Media" as Best Male Gospel Quartet, Best Gospel Album, and Best International Radio Broadcast. In 1988 they received the "Gold Angel Award" for achievement as the Oldest Continuous Gospel Quartet in the world. They’ve recorded and sung in 28 languages on over 100 albums, and toured more than 60 different countries.

The Heralds were the first Gospel group to tour the People’s Republic of China after that great country opened its borders to groups from the west. They’ve participated in Evangelistic Crusades in all of the major cities in Cuba. Their concert tours have taken them to every country in North, Central, and South America, all of Africa, all of the Far East, and all of the island nations of the Atlantic and Pacific. From Point Barrow to Punta Arenas, from Vancouver to Vladivostok, their music has touched the lives of millions worldwide through public concerts, international radio broadcast, and television presentations.

The Heralds have also served as musical support for many other Christian ministries: Food for the Hungry, the Christian Booksellers Association, the National Association of Religious Broadcasters, Excellence in Media, the Protestant Health and Welfare Association, the National Association of Evangelicals, It Is Written, the Voice of Prophecy, Christ for the World, the Baptist World Alliance, the Greater Pittsburg, Charismatic Conference, the US/China Education Foundation, La Voz de la Esperanza, and many, many others.

Included in every concert is a special section for children. The focus of their music is Jesus Christ – His person, life, death, resurrection, ascension, and return – as the only sure hope of salvation. Every concert concludes with a public invitation to receive Jesus as Savior. Literally thousands, young and old, respond every year.
