Raymond, previously of the Coats Singers, originated in San Francisco, CA, in the backyard of his parents' (Curtis and Gradie Coats Sr.) home and singing in the church choir. His parents raised a Christian family of 17 children, all of whom have beautiful, refined voices. The group now consists of 3 generations of the Coats family, who spread the gospel through a cappella music and traditional spirituals: 'When Jesus Comes,' 'Home of the Soul,' 'That Rock Still Stands,' 'Oh Mary Don't You Weep,' 'Jesus Is A Balm,' 'Lonesome Valley,' 'On The Wings of A Dove,' 'Where Could I Go' and 'Acapella.' This deeply spiritual family sings together with soul and a joyful spirit
