Since Gaither first began singing with the Bill Gaither Trio in
the 1950s, he has constantly been performing. The Bill Gaither Trio
originally consisted of Bill, his brother Danny Gaither and his
sister Mary Ann Gaither. In about 1964 Bill's wife, Gloria, took
the place of Mary Ann. The trio sang traditional gospel songs along
with original compositions by the Gaithers, but gave them a more
contemporary feel.
Bill Gaither has written more than 600 songs, recorded more than
40 albums, won countless awards, including being named the ASCAP
Christian Songwriter of the Century along with his wife, Gloria and
made possible the first gold-selling inspiration album. However,
this former English teacher has never forgotten why he does what he
does.
