Jesus Is Coming


Taking Quartet Gospel To The Next Level!



This month we take a look at the new CD by The Golden Trumpets. This group has been around for over sixty years. Sixty years of praising God through songs. And, now they have a new independently released project titled Jesus Is Coming.

The group is from North Carolina. The current members are Rev. Earl Staley, Terry Jackson, Carl Staley, William Ferguson, Jason Staley, John H Staley, Eric Staley, Johnny Lee Briscoe, Alan McEntyre, and Tony Staley.

We first met this group at an Anniversary Program of The National Juniors of Columbia, South Carolina, several years ago. Since that time, we have often wondered why this group is not on a major label. After you listen to their new release, we think you will agree that they the guys are ready for prime time. They have recorded a CD that will minister to the masses.

There are only eight (8) songs on this CD. And, we stress the word 'only.' The talent and ministry the group brings to this CD are such that after the last song the listener is left wanting more.



This group is blessed with three (3) lead singers, Rev. Earl Staley, Terry Jackson, and Carl Staley. They each showcase their vocal talents on this project.

The project begins with "God’s Got A Blessing." The ballad represents an interesting twist on the often repeated phrase Name It and Claim It. The guys deliver this song in almost a sermonette style. This is followed by the mid-tempo "Change In My Life." The song provides the opportunity for the guys to show they can handle runs with precise coordinated interaction between the lead signer and the background vocals.

"He Loves You" is another ballad that is tightly done. It is nothing short of musical perfection. This song confirms for us that The Golden Trumpets bread and butter are slow ballads. Another song indicative of this fact is "Lord I Want You To Love Me." It also is delivered in a sermonette style.

Other songs on this project In "My Father’s House," "Jesus Is Coming," "Praise The Lord I’m Free," and "Pray And Believe." "In My Father’s House" is probably the one that will get the attention of most Radio Angels. However, all of theses songs deserve your attention. In listening to these songs it became evident that the reason they are so good is the spirit and realness of the lead singers. You really feel that the guys put their “all and all” into each song.


This project was produced by Kevin Clouds. So, there are no canned chords, no artificial horns, no electronic sticks. You get to hear these guys on the CD just as they would sound at a concert.



This release from The Golden Trumpets is an good gospel quartet project. This CD is certainly worthy of your attention. We suggest you contact the group and acquire Jesus Is Coming and their earlier recordings.

We give The Golden Trumpets' Jesus Is Coming an 8 out of 10. Click on the title to hear “In My Father's House."
