899 The Exceptions “Glory to God” (from Rock ‘n’ Roll Mass) 1966

The Exceptions were based in Chicago. Band member Peter Cetera “went on to become the lead vocalist and front-man for the 1970s band, ‘Chicago’” (www.1960schristianmusic.com).

“One of the most exciting developments of our time is in religious thought: the updating of worship, the involvement of the sacred with the secular. This record follows the revolutionary traditions of St. Ambrose in the 4th cen. And Martin Luther in the 16th cen. In utilizing a popular secular music style with official text of a Church (Roman Catholic) for worship. Although not intended at this time for use in the Roman Catholic liturgy, this music is offered as an example of what some young people find to be a meaningful expression of Worship” (album notes).
