Lari Goss Passed Away

[Barb]

Singer, musician, composer, arranger, conductor...what a wonderful talent and career.

An amazing talent...

How sad!!

I recall my Mom and Dad went to a General Conference back in the '60's. They came back with a (then) young songwriter/pianist and wife's album... Lanny & Marietta Wolfe. One particular song on that first album featured a men's group that sang part of "I Find No Fault in Him"; it was tremendous. When I looked to see who it was - it was Lari Goss and his brothers. Lari played keyboard and probably helped arrainge many of the early L. W. projects, I think, and my family feasted on those records.

Later, in the '80's when Phil Driscoll was so popular - I loved his music. Once again, Lari Goss was putting out marvelous accompaniment on the piano and arrangements.

Awesome musician. What a gifted man! We'll miss him - but I'm glad that you posted this. Wonderful memories.

Does Lari Goss have a connection to the UPCI?

I only recognize his name from his work with the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir recordings of the late 80's and early 90's.

Lari Goss arranged and produced almost every album recorded by the original Lanny Wolfe Trio. He also played piano for Nancy Harmon. Before all of that, he and his brothers traveled and sang in the southern gospel circuit.

Please take a moment and listen to this clip...the Booth Brothers are singing a classic written by Mosie Lister and arranged here by Lari Goss...he is on the piano.

That was a good old classic, Barb.

Don't mean for my age to show, but they just don't write 'em like that anymore...

Wow... Great song. Now if all of our churches could just do something along this line right before the preaching or maybe just at the altar call...

The UPC connection was Lanny Wolf.

Ok.
Thanks for clearing that up for me. I thought maybe this Lari Goss was somehow connected to the early days of the UPCI or even PCI.
