Legacy V Biography

Legacy Five
(1999-present)
Roger Bennett and Scott Fowler were members of the Cathedrals together from the time Fowler joined the group in 1990. The two men formed a friendship and became business partners, producing recordings for up and coming groups when they weren’t touring. When the Cathedrals completed their “Farewell Tour” in 1999, Fowler and Bennett formed a new group, hiring Glen Dustin (bass), Josh Cobb (tenor), and Scott Howard (baritone). In light of their heritage with the Cathedrals, they adopted the name Legacy Five.

Highly acclaimed in 2000 with songs like “I Stand Redeemed” and “Stepping Out On The Water” from their Strong In The Strength recording, the readers of the Singing News responded by nominating all three of Legacy Five’s new faces as Horizon Individuals. (Bennett and Fowler weren’t eligible.) Josh Cobb won the award, but he and the group parted ways two days later. The group also won in the Horizon Group category that year. Tony Jarman was ultimately chosen to replace Cobb.

Legacy Five followed up their debut with the recordings Heroes Of The Faith and London. The latter is reminiscent of the Cathedrals project Symphony Of Praise in that it mixes Southern Gospel vocal harmonies with a philharmonic orchestra. This release produced the group’s first number one single, “I Found Grace,” which topped the chart in September of 2003. Jarman resigned from the group to pursue a solo career in 2004, and was replaced at tenor by Frank Seamans, a former member of The Sound, the same group that brought Scott Fowler to the attention of the Cathedrals. Legacy Five released a project titled Monuments in 2004.
