Nashville,
TN - There is much
to be said about the
heritage of a name.
When thinking of
Southern Gospel
Music, some of the
first family names
that come to mind
are The Speer
Family, The Goodmans,
The Nelons and The
LeFevres, all
legendary in our
Industry.
Mike LeFevre, nephew
of Eva Mae LeFevre,
has been involved in
Southern Gospel
Music since his days
with the legendary
Gold City. In 2005,
Mike LeFevre, along
with five other
incredibly talented
young men, brought
forth a new quartet
sound called The
LeFevre Quartet.
Just one year after
forming The LeFevre
Quartet, fans voted
them the 2006
Horizon Group of the
Year at the Singing
News Fan Awards. In
2007, they were
voted "Breakthrough
Artist Of The Year"
at the SGN Awards.
Their hit song, "Big
Mighty God" was
nominated for
Southern Gospel Song
of The Year at the
2009 Dove Awards.
The question has
been asked, "So why
would a group who
has had such an
impact on the Gospel
Music scene with
such wide acceptance
change their name?"
The answer: With the
passing of Eva Mae
LeFevre, members of
the LeFevre family
expressed their
desire to retire
their legendary name
in Gospel Music, so
The LeFevre Quartet
quietly became
Priority.
Since signing with
BSA, Beckie Simmons,
along with
encouragement from
their peers, began
the process of
reconsidering going
back to their
original family
name. Maurice
LeFevre addresses
the issue with his
statement, "I didn't
realize until Mom's
passing last May how
quickly new
generations forget,
as some of my own
children came to me
and said they had no
idea that their
grandparents had
accomplished so much
in life. Mylon and I
are absolutely and
completely
supportive of Mike
and his group and
the work they are
doing for our Lord
and Saviour. Our
initial reservations
concerned quality;
however, after
hearing the group we
could not be more in
tune. What a great
sound!" Thus, the
decision was
confirmed to
continue the legacy
of the LeFevre name.
Priority is now
being retired and
The LeFevre Quartet
reborn.
BSA/Beckie Simmons
Agency has entered
into an exclusive
booking agreement
with The LeFevre
Quartet. Beckie
Simmons adds, "We
are excited about
adding The LeFevre
Quartet to the BSA
family! The sound of
this group is superb
plus having a live
band represents some
of the best in
Southern Gospel
Music. I am so happy
to be part of their
future and keeping
the LeFevre heritage
alive."
