Actually, Rick Busby wasn't the one who first recorded "When He Was On The Cross". It was Terry Davis. Terry recorded the song, but left shorty after that.

I don't know if it was ever pressed to CD or put on audio tape, but I know there are videos of the FB with Rick singing that song.

#3 Danny Funderburk
As a member of the Singing Americans he demonstrated that singing tenor did not mean that you had to sing through your nose, nor did it mean that you had to sing "operatic".
And lastly, I often hear people remark that "Danny abused his voice" and he doesn't sound good anymore, but one of my favorite Danny Funderburk songs is "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" a solo project he did after his years with Perfect heart.
First, welcome to the forums.
Second, I presume by "operatic" you mean "sings with proper technique." Just because someone sings with good technique doesn't make that person an opera singer. He/she is simply singing in a way that will help preserve his/her voice over a long period of time. There much more to "operatic" than just sounding like what most folks think an opera singer is. OK, I'm off of that soapbox. 
Third, I loved the power Danny sang with. However, there were certainly times that his voice would be waning by end of a concert. That comes from pushing your voice too hard. Danny wasn't necessarily singing in a way that would damage his voice, but prolonged pushing can lead to nodules on the vocal ligament (also called vocal cords).

I'm a voice teacher getting ready to start on my doctorate in vocal music performance. A classically trained tenor who grew up on and still loves SG music. I've auditioned for a couple of fulltime groups and was told I have a "Phelpsy" sound. I take that as a huge compliment, but am also a realist who understands that there is only one David Phelps.

I have heard a lot of tenors over the years, and there are a lot of great ones. My top list includes Jim Murray with the Imperials, Bill Baize of the Stamps, Sherrill Neilson with the Statemen, with Elvis and by himself, Danny Funderbirk with the Cathedrals, Rozie Rozelle, and yes even Ernie Haase. But there is one tenor that stands out above all the great ones and that is David Phelps. The power and perfection in his voice doesn't take a back seat to anyboy. In a group or by himself, He is No 1 and the others are 1-A.
If I could make a group today of the great voices of the present and past, I think it would start with DAvid Phelps as tenor, Guy Penrod as lead, Gary McSpadden as baritone, and Armond Morrales on bass.
Those other were tough calls for me with Guy getting the nod over Terry Blackwood because of his range, Gary being just the smoothest baritone singer ever, and Armond because he was also smooth as silk. Armond just beats out Big Chief in my mind but Chief was also great.
And on the piano----that is difficult too but I would pick Roger Bennett-
I would buy a CD of that group.....

Well said, Fla-Rob and welcome.
David Phelps is da man when it comes to tenors.

Wow! I guess the fans that voted Ernie Tenor of the year more than ANY other tenor ever must all be wrong. It all depends on what kind of tenor you prefer. If you like a nasal thin falsetto voice than there are MANY of them in southern Gospel. If you like a natural manly (if that can happen singing that high) voice then there are only a few to pick from. Ernie has a quality voice. Many "tenors" couldnt come close to making it in any other genre. Am I wrong, I listened to the Cathedrals farewell video and he sings "Savior" in F# (i think) and thats still the same key he does it in. And how would singing lower not make him a good singer? Most all tenors do that... Danny Funderburk, Larry Ford, Jim Murray. I would put all of these guys (and Ernie) on my top 10.
