Truth (3)
Although Truth never officially released an LP while they were together, in 1995 a 68-minute CD was salvaged from 1969-70 recordings. Most of them were made for a soundtrack of an obscure film, with three other tracks coming from a Chicago studio session during the brief time in which Ray Elliott was in the band. Perhaps to the surprise of some listeners aware of Truth's Them connections, there's not much of a hard R&B-blues-British Invasion influence. It's far more reminiscent of late-'60s California guitar psychedelia, along the lines of some of the more economic and harmony-driven bands in that style, like Moby Grape and (more distantly) Love.
In this respect, Truth recall Fat Mattress (Noel Redding's group), another act with heavy British Isles roots that took major cues from West Coast harmonized psych, though Truth and Fat Mattress aren't extremely similar. Truth play late-'60s psychedelic rock with a breezy lightness, yet with some guts, anchored by extremely versatile guitar lines by the underrated Jim Armstrong. The songs might not be classic, but they're very pleasant go-with-the-flow period sequences of images, with one vocal (on "Blackboard Words") closely approximating the sound of late-'60s Roger McGuinn. On "Sonic Sitar," the group expands upon the raga-rock explored in the post-Van Morrison Them's best cut, "Square Room," and in fact "Archimed's Pad (Squared Room)" is an impressive instrumental remake of "Square Room" that's an underrated highlight of the whole raga-rock genre, with its hypnotic drawn-out interplay of drones and Indian-influenced guitar melodies. The three songs recorded with Ray Elliott on flute and piano go into jazzier grooves with good effect, adding nice icing to a record that's on the whole better (and certainly more consistent) than either of the late-'60s Them albums on which some of the Truth musicians played.
Truth (4)
Truth, a new band from Sweden. All songs are written by guitar-god Sven Cirnski who leaves you breathless. All vocals are done by David Fremberg (of the band Andromeda). The debut album, "Machine", was released in January 2008 on Grooveyard Records.
Truth (5)
American rapper. Born December 15, 1976.
Truth (6) Christian Gospel
"During the late '60s, John Roger Breland had a dream of starting a Christian band. His goal was to share the message of the Gospel through music. In June of 1971 Breland's dream became a reality with the formation of the group, Truth, an acronym for "Trust, Receive, Unchangeable, True Happiness" in Jesus. The group performed its first tour with only 15 members. Some were barely out of high school. For the first several years of their existence, the group performed 400 concerts annually and traveled 50 weeks of the year. As Truth became more established, they performed 260 live concerts each year, and spent the rest of the time in recording studios. By the beginning of the 21st century, Truth had 22 members, and had traveled to all 50 American states and 21 different countries. The group had produced almost 60 albums and performed before more than ten million people in over 9,000 concerts. In 2000, Truth was accepted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame. The Truth Legacy Collection was released in 2001, shortly after the group performed its farewell tour." from Diana Moes VandeHoef, All Music Guide
They have re-grouped for a 40th Annivesary Tour and with a new melody CD of their works. Several hit artists evolved from the TRUTH, such as Avalon, Natilie Grant and others.

Why they gave me the shield
I never worry bout drama cause I'm

I feel it's me against the world I'm
So sick of looking at rap

The lyrics to Truth's song "It Is Finished" are intense and confrontational, reflecting the artist's frustration and determination to prove himself. The opening lines express his refusal to give anyone a pass and his anger at those who have misunderstood or misrepresented him. He asserts his position as the king of the year, someone who is back on the field of rap and ready to show his skills. He proudly embraces the challenge of being real and raw, unafraid of drama and armed with the truth.
The lyrics also reveal Truth's confidence in his abilities and his resilience in the face of adversity. He sees himself as the king, both in the rap world and on the streets. He asserts his dominance and warns others not to underestimate him. Truth expresses his dedication to his city, going hard for his fellow citizens and not backing down from any challenges. He emphasizes his permanent presence in the industry, claiming his rightful place and leaving a mark that cannot be erased.

Thanks for posting this. I was there at Six Flags in 1978 and this was the first time I heard TRUTH. As a trumpet player I had never heard brass with contemporary Christian music and I was blown away by it. I am still playing trumpet for worship.
Daryl Tracy
It's amazing how there is so even footage of Steve in the 80s and even the 70s and yet none from his time with the Vocal Band in the early 80s.
Vladimir Vasquez
Steve Green was always great!!! The best for the glory of the Lord.
joesophie90
Vey powerful indeed.. This gave me goosebumps. They remind me of Living Sound and another christian group, that I think came later, Wings of Light.
Angel Vil-Maz
Fantásticos!!!... Es la primera vez que veo este vídeo. Y el apreciar los inicios de Steve Green. Gracias por subirlo. Dios les bendiga. Saludos desde Lima-Perú

One of my all time favorite songs. I loved this album (still have it).
Dusty Garison
Thanks so much for posting! I first heard Truth in 1976, as a ministerial intern in Jackson, Mississippi, and I immediately fell in love with their music. Do you happen to have a concert version of Art Ortiz's solo, "The Lord is My Light"? Peace and blessings.
Tanya Dixon
Big brass praise and worship! ALELUJAH!!
