George Younce (1930 –2005) was an American Southern gospel bass singer, best known as a founding member and bass vocalist of The Cathedral Quartet. Born in Patterson, North Carolina, he began singing with gospel groups in the 1940s, including The Watchmen Quartet and The Weatherfords. In 1964, he co-founded The Cathedral Quartet with Glen Payne, becoming a cornerstone of Southern gospel music with hits like "Step into The Water." Younce performed on the Gaither Homecoming Tour, at Radio City Music Hall and Carnegie Hall in New York City, and at the Billy Graham Crusades in Cleveland, Ohio, and Nashville, Tennessee.
