Another bit of spam designed to promote David L. Cook. Non notable group. The current dishonest sourcing (a google books search claiming to be a Who's Who) does not show any notability for this group. A search found nothing better. duffbeerforme (talk) 23:51, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaning delete. Wondering if this is a hoax. I can't find any reliable sources verifying the existence of the group before David Cook in the 1980s onwards, and the 1996 article Gospel artist not what he claims to be suggests there may be problems with the accuracy of the information.
