Beginning in 1945, Bill LaPointe sang with his wife’s two brothers in a group which eventually became known as the Gospelaires. In 1978, they released a patriotic album called “United We Stand” which was presented to every member of the Canadian Parliament. This was a timely release as Canada was struggling with national unity, a perpetual issue which had risen to the forefront once again. They received letters of support and commendation from many levels of government, including then Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau. Bill retired in 1995, but continues to produce radio and television programs supporting Southern Gospel.
