From The Webmaster:
Gold City has always been my favorite southern gospel group. My dad was a
member of a local quartet when I was very young. When I was about five years
old, my two favorite songs for him to sing were "I Think I'll Read It Again" and
"I've Got A Feeling". Even before I knew who or what "Gold City" was, I loved
their songs.
When I began to seriously get into southern gospel music about thirteen years
ago, I turned to the internet for information about the group. At that time,
the only website I could find was
Wes Burke's
Unofficial Gold City Fan Page, hosted on his University of Tennessee web space.
Wes' page was primarily a list of Gold City's major label recordings, which I
used to begin my search for Gold City's older recordings.
As the internet's popularity took off, Gold City, as most professional music
artists, created a website.
While Gold City's page is informative, it is primarily a way for fans to stay up
to date with the current group and to purchase merchandise. Like most other
artists' pages, it lacks a lot historical information. My hope is for this
website to fill that void.
Again, please send any contributions (photos,
stories, memories, etc.), suggestions, corrections, or comments to
