Jack Veazey

about

Jack Veazey, now retired and living in Simi Valley, California, sang in the Voice of Prophecy King's Heralds quartet for 20 years. When the quartet was discontinued by the VOP in 1982, he continued to sing in the group, which became an independent entity renamed the Herald's, for 15 more years, until his retirement in 1997. Veazey, born in Birmingham, Alabama, moved with his family at age 12 to Collegedale, Tennessee. He completed his last two years of grade school there, graduated from Collegedale Academy, and attended Southern Missionary College, now Southern Adventist University, for three years. His mother started him and his brother Jon singing even before they could barely talk. While they had been living in Birmingham, the King's Heralds quartet had sung in their church, an experience that mesmerized the young boy. His mother noted his attentiveness and asked him if he was enjoying it. "Are you kidding?" was his quick response. He was totally taken with the harmony. While at the academy, he sang in several quartets. When John Thurber came to Collegedale to live with his brother Wayne, a music teacher at SMC, John and Jack joined with two others to form the Adelphian quartet. The group became very popular on campus and was used from 1950 to 1952 by the college to recruit students in the area it served. The quartet's members were given full-tuition scholarships for their assistance in promoting the school, which meant an average of 20 performances a month. By this tim
