Acappella is far and away the most popular musical group to have come out of the Churches of Christ in the U.S. They are in large part responsible for inspiring an entire culture of a cappella musical performance in the Church Of Christ , a tradition that essentially forbids the use of musical instruments in worship. The song "Acappella" from 1986's ''Conquerors'' was the first to achieve widespread popularity within the church of Christ (it could almost be called a 'hit') and the 1988 album ''Sweet Fellowship'' has become their all-time best seller. AVB's breakout ''Song in My Soul'' was released almost concurrently, and the number of like-minded a cappella vocal groups within the church of Christ grew almost exponentially after these two albums. Acappella experienced their first mainstream success outside the church of Christ with 1993's ''Set Me Free''. This album also had a song licensed for use in a Sony Camcorder Super Bowl commercial (with the refrain "They are more precious than gold"). The line-up changed for the second time in the group's history after this album. Since that time, membership in the group has changed almost on a yearly basis; in addition, The Acappella Company (the umbrella organization of several a cappella groups and musical projects that was formed directly from the successes of Acappella and AVB) has released a variety of Christian a cappella music albums that vary in spirit and line-up, with some albums being very similar to the original group and others being very distinct.
