Bethlehem

Biography

This minor US gospel group of the mid-70s onwards featured a line-up of Danny Daniels (guitar/lead vocals), Dominic Franco (pedal steel guitar/vocals), John Falcone (bass/vocals), Randy Rigby (vocals, keyboards, lead guitar) and Dan McCleery (drums/vocals). They started their career from their Orange County, California base in 1974 with lofty aims: ‘It is our desire that the love of Jesus would come through us to feed the Body of Christ and to save the lost.’ Using a platform of well-executed country rock, they set about touring throughout the American continent, with appearances at prisons and bars in addition to the more conventional arenas of church and campus. By the end of the decade they had relocated their base of operations to Boulder, Colorado, but encountered difficulty in breaking into the gospel mainstream.
