Glen Payne (October 20, 1926 - October 15, 1999) served more than 50 years as a Southern gospel music singer. At age 17 in 1944, Glen joined the Stamps-Baxter Quartet. He was also a member of the Lester Stamps Quartet, The Stamps All-Stars, and The Stamps-Ozark Quartet. In 1956 he joined The Weatherford Quartet, which featured Glen, Earl & Lily Fern Weatherford, Armond Morales, and George Younce. Younce was later replaced by Henry Slaughter. This lineup of the Weatherfords is considered by many gospel experts to have been the best singing group in gospel music history.He was married and had 3 children and 3 grandchildren. In 1963, Weatherfords members Glen, Bobby Clark, and Danny Koker departed to work for evangelist Rex Humbard at the Cathedral of Tomorrow in Akron, Ohio. Together, they formed the Cathedral Trio. With the addition of bass singer George Younce a year later, the Cathedral Trio became the Cathedral Quartet. The Cathedrals immediately became a sensation with their smooth quartet sound.Over the next 36 years, the Cathedrals won numerous Singing News Fan Awards and had several #1 hits on the Southern Gospel Charts including Step into The Water, Boundless Love, and He Made a Change.
