Scott Fowler was the baritone vocalist with the classic Cathedral Quartet from 1991 through 1999 when the quartet disbanded. After the retirement of the Cathedrals, he co-founded Legacy Five along with former Cathedral pianist Roger Bennett, in which he sings lead. He has also performed with groups such as The Messengers Quartet and The Sound.
Scott Eric Fowler, co-founder, lead singer and manager for Legacy Five, was born the youngest of four kids on July 9, 1966 in St. Louis, Missouri. Scott actually got his start singing when he was a small boy. His dad would go to preach revivals at area churches, and the family would sing before his dad preached. Gospel music was a big part of the Fowler family home life.
When Scott was 14, some friends took him to see the famous Cathedral Quartet. Scott fell in love with their music and recalls "buying $100 worth of music at their concert... and that was my hard earned grass cutting money!" Scott was a gospel music addict from that moment on.
In the spring of 1987, Scott finally got the opportunity he had been praying for. After spending two years at Oakland City University and two subsequent years in nursing school in St. Louis, he finally got the chance to live out the quartet dream. Scott moved to Houston, Texas, where he spent 2½ years singing with a group called The Sound.
Then, in December 1990, Scott's ultimate dream came true when he was asked to join the Cathedrals, where he served as the group's baritone for ten years until they retired in December 1999. During those years, he was given the privilege of singing beside southern gospel greats, George Younce (bass singer) and Glen Payne (lead singer).
When the Legendary Cathedral Quartet retired from singing in December 1999, Scott Fowler and Cathedral piano player, Roger Bennett decided to continue the rich musical tradition of Southern Gospel Quartet singing by forming their own group. Legacy Five was organized and had their official debut in January 2000 in Atlanta, Georgia. The original group members included Fowler on lead, Roger at the piano, Scott Howard as baritone, Josh Cobb as tenor, and bass singer Glenn Dustin. Their first CD was the Strong In The Strength. Over the years, Legacy Five has had several personnel changes, including the death of piano player and Fowler's best friend, Roger Bennett, and today the group consists of Fowler, Howard, tenor singer Gus Gaches, bass singer Matt Fouch and piano player Trey Ivey.
