Brothaz in the Foyer didn’t just harmonize; they sanctified the funk. Born in the foyer of an LDS chapel—where testimonies were shared and side-eyes were given over who had the freshest Sunday suit—this group of Latter-day Saints music pioneers knew one thing: the gospel wasn’t just something you preached, it was something you felt. And sometimes, you felt it with a bassline so smooth, even the pews had to sway.

By 1977, the world had already seen gospel choirs, but what they hadn’t seen was this. Groovin’ in His Grace wasn’t just a song; it was a revelation set to a funk-infused R&B rhythm. It was proof that Jesus Christ could move mountains and hips. From the chapel foyer to the pulpit, from the pulpit to the world, they brought a message of unity, love, and faith—wrapped in the silkiest harmonies and a groove so righteous, it could have its own testimony meeting.

With voices lifted high and shoes that stayed impeccable, Brothaz in the Foyer proved that Latter-day Saints music didn’t have to stay in the hymnbook. It could shine, it could groove, and it could testify with every note. The gospel is for all, and if you weren’t clapping your hands by the second verse, check your pulse. The spirit was moving, and so were the saints.
