    LaVerne Tripp was born on April 11, 1944, in Chocowinity, North Carolina. It was at a camp meeting there that he first sang publicly, as a 2 1/2 year old.  For all of us, thankfully, his love of singing, and desire to sing has never faded! During his time as a student at Holmes College of the Bible, he sang as part of a trio at local churches. He also sang with the Rangers Quartet, Jubilee Quartet, Palmetto State Quartet, and Sierras before joining the Blue Ridge Quartet as their lead singer in 1969.
    His youth and energy revitalized the quartet, as did his song writing.  He wrote and recorded 3 straight number one gospel songs - "I Know", "That Day Is Almost Here", and "After Calvary". Concerts were sold out weeks in advance, and record sales were through the roof. LaVerne was nominated 8 times for the Dove Award, which recognizes outstanding achievement in the Christina Music industry. In 1971, he was voted male vocalist of the year, and "I Know" was song of the year.

    The Originals: I Know

    Because my education background is in music theory, I’ve always been interested in “I Know,” Southern Gospel’s most popular song in 1971. There aren’t many songs that manage to change keys several times, while only using three chords. Assuming the song begins in the key of D, the verses alternate between the D and A chords; the choruses shift to the key of G and use the G and D chords. For each verse, the key shifts back to D.

    The Blue Ridge Quartet and the Oak Ridge Boys were the first groups to record “I Know.” They shared the number one spot on the Singing News airplay chart for ten months beginning in February of 1971 and ending in November of 1971. Both groups had recorded the song in 1970, but the Blue Ridge Quartet’s version was recorded first, according to their piano player, Kenny Gates:

    “I Know” was on our “Rise And Shine” album and released in 1970. Our Blue Ridge Quartet w
