The Galileans (1966-????)
Also billed as The Four Galileans; formerly known as The King's Three Trio

The Texas-based King’s Three Trio began in 1963 and consisted of David Velasquez, Paul De La Torre, and Danny Ramos. The Galileans were formed three years later in 1966 by former King's Three Trio members Danny Ramos, Paul De La Torre, and Robert De La Torre (according to the backliner notes of their 1968 release Joshua). Velasquez later rejoined his former King's Three Trio partners as a member of The Galileans. The group recorded songs in both Spanish and English. They won a Dove Award in 1970 in the category of Most Promising New Gospel Talent.

For a few years, they were billed as The Four Galileans on album covers, but they later reverted to the simpler billing of The Galileans. The group recorded several releases for Canaan Records and later recorded for Calvary Records. Galileans member David Velasquez is the father of Christian pop singer Jaci Velasquez who won the same Dove Award as The Galileans 27 years later. (By 1997, the category was called New Artist Of The Year.)
