The Masters Five or Masters V was a Southern Gospel Music quartet founded in 1980 by Hovie Lister as a special consolidation of well-known performers from The Statesmen Quartet and The Blackwood Brothers.[1] The group featured J.D. Sumner as bass, Rosie Rozell as tenor, James Blackwood and Jake Hess alternating between lead and baritone, and Lister on piano.[2] Their self-titled debut album, The Masters V, won the 1981 Grammy Award for best traditional gospel performance.[3] The quartet subsequently endured several personnel changes, often due to health and age-related issues.[2] The group's final performance was in 1988.
