The Old Friends Quartet was a Southern gospel quartet. The group was made of former Cathedrals members George Younce and Ernie Haase and former Statesmen/Imperials member Jake Hess along with Wesley Pritchard. They released all their albums with Spring House Productions. In 2002, their DVD Encore, with special guests Aaron Wilburn, The Talleys Trio and the Gaither Vocal Band was filmed in Mobile, Alabama and won a Southern Gospel Music Association Award.[1] The group disbanded after 2 years due to Younce's and Hess's declining health.
