In 1995 three Atlantans, lifelong friends and classically trained tenors, decided to form their own version of the world renowned "Three Tenors." They became the "3 Inspirational Tenors," focusing on Christian music and message-oriented, secular works. Actually, the idea was the brainchild of Oliver Sueing's wife, Dr. Sharon J. Willis, who serves as musical director of the group. 

The group made its debut in April 1995 at Atlanta's Symphony Hall in a concert benefitting the acclaimed Young Singers of Callanwolde.

Since that time, they have performed at the dedication of the Dobb's Plaza on Atlanta's famous "Sweet Auburn" Avenue and for the National Caucus of Black Musicians during the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. They appeared in three concerts for visitors to Atlanta sponsored by the Celebrate Faith and Arts Council and the Salvation Army. In January 1997 the group presented a special program to honor Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday at the University of Sout Carolina.

Their repertoire includes beloved hymns and spirituals such as How Great Thou Art, The Holy City, and He's Got the Whole World in His Hands, as well as inspiring popular songs such as Climb Every Mountain and The Impossible Dream.

In February1999 the 3 Inspirational Tenors were invited to tour Italy with the Saint John Neumann Choir of Lilburn, Georgia for a series of services and concerts. They were featured in mass celebrations at the Basilica of St. Mark in Venice, and the great Basilica of St. Peter in Rome during the Sunday High Mass. They brought an Italian audience to its feet after their renditions at a Vatican sponsored concert at the beautiful Church of St. Ignatius. Later, they were honored to sing before the Pope John Paul II during a Papal Audience.
