AboutTruth was an American Contemporary Christian group, active from 1971 to 2001. Formed by John Roger Breland, the ensemble's name stands for "Trust, Receive, Unchangeable, True Happiness [in Jesus]". It was initially composed of some 15 members who toured extensively year-round, eventually recording frequently as well. It eventually expanded to 22 members and continued touring regularly for thirty years, dissolving in 2001. In 2000, the group was inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

The youth choir at Spring Hill Baptist in Mobile, Alabama, grew over the course of two years from 8 youth choir members to 140 members. Fueled by the inspiration the new Christian contemporary music that was sweeping the country Roger began laying the groundwork for a new touring ensemble with vocals, live band with horns. Wanting to name the group something with a distinctive identity that did not sound preachy or worldly, Roger's wife, Linda Breland, suggested Truth. The group hit the road in 1971. Traveling in three station wagons and a truck, the group sang in small churches, colleges, outdoor shopping centers and youth gatherings throughout the Southern United States. They were turned away many times from churches because of their contemporary sound. Many times they would do cover songs written by the Gaithers, including "Get All Excited" and "Because He Lives". They introduced Andrae Crouch's music to the deep south in the early 1970s.

In 1973, Truth performed "The Church Triumphant" to a standing ovation at the annual Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas, Texas. This opened doors for Truth all over the country. In 1981 Truth had its first of several number 1 songs with "Jesus Never Fails". In 31 years TRUTH traveled 3 million miles, presented 10,000 concerts in 27 nations. Recorded 61 albums with 400 members during their traveling ministry. The final concert was in Nashville June 16, 2002. The four-hour final concert was attended by hundreds of former Truth members and friends from around the nation. Today Roger Breland continues the Truth sound at The University of Mobile touring with The VOICES of Mobile.
