Father and son caught up in legal dispute over The Imperials name
A LAWSUIT embroiling veteran CCM and Southern gospel group The
Imperials has caused considerable controversy. Co-founder Armond
Morales, who in 1964 formed the group that went on to win four Grammys
and 13 Dove Awards, and his wife, Bonnie, are being sued for the
Imperials name by a younger group that includes Armond's son, Jason
Morales. The younger group - four singers who say they're now the
"real" Imperials - claim that when the elder Morales signed an
assignment of trademark in 2005, he transferred ownership of the name
to the four singers in the current lineup. Morales has now published
an open letter to his son saying he will no longer perform under the
name Classic Imperials.
Can this still be called christian?? Many so-called christians want to say and do "whatever", ignoring basic Bible principals: question, "How can you wear the label "christian" if you're not going to follow what is written, no matter what the situation. This should not have become public, shame is brought to GOD's name! How will unbelievers come to believe? The "christian" world should not gossip about GOD's people, that's what the world does!! THINK ABOUT IT!!This comment is not to judge , but to shed truth and light. (Matthew 7:12-14)
