Truth (American band)
Truth was an American Contemporary Christian group, active from 1971 to 2001. Formed by John Roger Breland, the ensemble's name stands for "Trust, Receive, Unchangeable, True Happiness (Jesus )".〔(The Truth ) at Allmusic〕 It was initially composed of some 15 members who toured extensively year-round, eventually recording frequently as well. It eventually expanded to 22 members and continued touring regularly for thirty years, dissolving in 2001. In 2000, the group was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.〔
== Beginnings ==
It all started in 1967 with the young minister of music of Spring Hill Baptist Church in Mobile, Alabama, Roger Breland. Inspired by Ralph Carmichael's musical ''Good News'', Roger introduced the youth choir to a contemporary sound.
The youth choir at Spring Hill Baptist grew in the course of two years from 7 to 140. Fueled by the inspiration from the group The Spurrlows in concert at his home church, Roger began laying the groundwork for a touring group that would later impact millions of people worldwide. Next came naming the group. Wanting to find a name with a distinctive identity that did not sound preachy or worldly, Roger's wife, Linda Breland, suggested Truth. The group hit the road in 1971. Traveling in two station wagons, the group sang at barbecues in backyards and opening of service stations in the Southern United States. They were turned away many times from churches because of their contemporary sound. Many times they would do cover work by the Gaithers, with songs like "Get All Excited" and "Because He Lives".
In 1973, Truth performed "The Church Triumphant" to a standing ovation at the annual Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas, Texas. This opened doors for Truth all over the country and would later take them to their first number one hit.
