James Blackwood left the group in 1980 to form the Masters V quartet along with former Blackwood member J. D. Sumner and former Statesmen singers Jake Hess , Rosie Rozell , and Hovie Lister . The group continued and as did their commercial success . At the 23rd Annual Grammy Awards in 1981 '' We Come To Worship '' won a Grammy for best traditional gospel recording . It was produced by Cecil Blackwood 's son , Mark Blackwood , and incorporated more contemporary sounds to the traditional Blackwood Quartet . At the 25th Annual Grammy Awards in 1983 '' Im Following You '' won the group 's 8th and final Grammy for best traditional gospel recording . Much like '' We Come To Worship '' , it blended elements of newer praise with the traditional southern gospel sound
