Heritage Singers

The Heritage Singers are an American Christian gospel music ministry founded in 1971 by Max and Lucy Mace in Placerville, California. The group originated as an evolution from the Rose City Singers, a patriotic and folk music group. The name "Heritage Singers" was chosen by founding member Jerry Leiske, based on biblical scripture regarding saints as God's "heritage." The group operates as a non-profit ministry focused on sharing contemporary Christian music and gospel performances. Their catalog includes songs such as "He Touched Me," "The King Is Coming," "I Believe in a Hill Called Mt. Calvary," "Something Beautiful," "Happiness Is the Lord," "There's Something About That Name," and "Side by Side." They have also released an album titled *Hymns We Remember*. Throughout their career, the Heritage Singers have performed over 7,000 concerts in more than 65 countries and have recorded over 200 albums. The ministry is closely associated with the Seventh-day Adventist church. Following the death of founder Max Mace in 2020, the group has continued its mission under the Gospel Heritage Foundation.
