Jerry Haynes~ "I Know A Man Who Can"



I can't find anything at Wikipedia.org for Jerry Haynes or Bruce Haynes other that what they stated here in the Video. So I am going to throw a couple more versions of this Gospel song in this post. Jack Campbell I understand from Jerry's statement wrote the song.




George Glenn Jones (September 12, 1931 – April 26, 2013) was an American musician, singer and songwriter who achieved international fame for his long list of hit records, including his most well known song "He Stopped Loving Her Today", as well as his distinctive voice and phrasing.

For the last 20 years of his life, Jones was frequently referred to as the greatest living country singer.[1][2] Country music scholar Bill C. Malone writes, "For the two or three minutes consumed by a song, Jones immerses himself so completely in its lyrics, and in the mood it conveys, that the listener can scarcely avoid becoming similarly involved."

Waylon Jennings expressed a similar opinion in his song "It's Alright": "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones." The shape of his nose and facial features earned Jones the nickname "The Possum."

Born in Texas, Jones first heard country music when he was seven and was given a guitar at the age of nine. He married his first wife, Dorothy Bonvillion, in 1950, and was divorced in 1951.

He served in the United States Marine Corps until his discharge in 1953.

He married Shirley Ann Corley in 1954.

In 1959, Jones released a cover version of "White Lightning" by J. P. Richardson, which launched his career as a singer. His second marriage ended in divorce in 1968; he married fellow country music singer Tammy Wynette a year later.

Many years of alcoholism caused his health to deteriorate severely and led to his missing many performances, earning him the nickname "No Show Jones."[3]

After his divorce from Wynette in 1975, Jones married his fourth wife, Nancy Sepulvado, in 1983 and became mostly sober.

Jones died in 2013, aged 81, from hypoxic respiratory failure.

During his career, Jones had more than 150 hits, both as a solo artist and in duets with other artists.

The Perrys are a professional Southern gospel quartet based in Gallatin, Tennessee.

The group formed on December 25, 1970 with Randy Perry and his sisters Debbie and Libbi in Georgia. In the mid-1980s, the group signed with former pianist for the Happy Goodman Family, Eddie Crook on his Morning Star Records label.

Libbi met and married Tracy Stuffle who would become the group's bass singer. Debbie left the group to rear her family and the Perrys were joined by soprano singer Denise Helton.

During this time the Perrys experienced enormous growth in their popularity with such songs as "Get Involved", "We Shall Reign", "I Remember The Day", "The Mountain", "He Knows How", "Royal Descendant", "Grace", "The Rock of Ages", and "Look What I'm Trading for a Mansion".[citation needed]

In the 1994, after the release of the very popular "Grace" album, Randy Perry left the road to concentrate more on evangelistic work and Denise Helton would also leave the group to pursue other ventures. Nicole Watts and Barry Scott would come in to fill these spots.

Scott soon left the group and was replaced by Mike Bowling, a former member of the New Hinsons. In 1997, the group made a record label transition from Morning Star Records to Daywind Records, owned by Dottie Leonard Miller.

They also signed an exclusive booking agreement with Harper and Associates. Their debut album with Daywind, "Crossings", included their first two #1 songs on the Singing News charts, "Not Even a Stone" and "By Faith I Can Touch Him Now".[citation needed]

Mike would also leave to join with The Crabb Family and also pursue his own solo career; and Nicole Watts married and left the group shortly after Mike's departure. David Hill joined the Perrys and held the lead position for approximately nine months.

His only album with the group was, "Absolutely, Positively, Live!", which included the #1 hit, "Praise God, It's Settled, I'm Saved".

Loren Harris, formerly of the Wilburns, took the lead position shortly afterward. The group decided to not fill the position of Nicole Watts with another soprano but to turn that position over to a male - hence the hiring of baritone Curt Davis. It was during this time that the Perrys had their fourth #1 song, "I Rest My Case at the Cross".[citation needed]

In August 2003, Curt Davis resigned his baritone position with the Perrys. Joseph Habedank replaced Davis. Soon after Habedank joined the group, the Perry family patriarch, George Perry, died in November 2003.

After the departure of Justin Ellis to perform with the Crabb Family, the Perrys hired Matthew Holt as the group's pianist in September 2004 at the National Quartet Convention. It was around this time that the Perrys had their fifth and latest #1 song, "I Wish I Could Have Been There".

Holt was hired as pianist shortly before the Perrys were awarded their first Singing News Fan Award for Favorite Mixed Quartet of the Year. The Perrys were awarded Singing News Fan Awards for the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Mixed Quartet of the Year.

The family received the Harmony Honors Awards for Favorite Album of the Year, This Is the Day, and for Favorite Song of the Year, I Wish I Could Have Been There. Libbi Perry Stuffle was awarded Singing News Fan Awards for the 2005 Female Vocalist and Alto Singer Of The Year and the 2006 Alto Singer of the Year.

The Perrys were also awarded the Singing News Fan Award for Album of the Year in 2006 for their album Remembering the Happy Goodmans.[citation needed]

In 2006, longtime lead vocalist Loren Harris resigned his position in order to spend more time at home with his family. Joseph Habedank moved to the vacant lead position and Nick Trammell (son of baritone Mark Trammell) came in to fill the baritone position. The first recording, entitled "Look No Further", under the new line-up was released in September 2007 at the National Quartet Convention.

In addition to the release of the album, Nick Trammell received the Horizon Individual award by the Singing News Fans for 2007. In July 2008, Matthew Holt announced his departure. Bryan Elliott joined the Perrys as pianist in August 2008.

It was announced on February 24, 2009, that Nick Trammell was departing. Former sound engineer Troy Peach, who had previously performed with the Wilburns and the Steeles, replaced Trammell. After Troy joined the vocal lineup of the Perrys, the group began work on a new album for Daywind Records.

At the 2009 National Quartet Convention, Libbi Perry Stuffle and Joseph Habedank were voted Favorite Alto and Favorite Young Artist respectively in the 2009 Singing News Fan Awards. The group continued their success with the album in 2010 receiving 2 GMA Dove Award nominations for Southern Gospel Recorded Album and Southern Gospel Recorded Song ("If You Knew Him").

The group released a second single, "Did I Mention", in early 2010. The song debuted on the March 2010 Singing News Charts at #47 and eventually made it to the #1 spot in July 2010. The group received 11 Top 5 nominations in the 2010 Singing News Fan Awards for Favorite Artist, Mixed Group, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist, Horizon Individual, Young Artist, Alto, Lead, Songwriter, Album, & Song.

Tracy Stuffle experienced a cardiac arrest on Wednesday, August 11, 2010. Tracy had five blockages and needed to undergo open heart surgery. Doctors also discovered that Tracy was a diabetic. After his 10 hour surgery on August 13, he recovered sufficiently to return home less than a week after the cardiac incident.

After the National Quartet Convention in 2010, pianist, Bryan Elliott announced he would be departing to play for Gold City. In mid October 2010, it was announced that Troy Peach would be leaving the group and the baritone spot would be filled by Bryan Walker. Walker announced his departure on October 15, 2014. He was then replaced by past member, Troy Peach.
