Description
"Northport N.Y. - M.C. Records is proud to be releasing a live record by Marie Knight on March 23. The posthumous The Gospel Truth Live (MC-0084) was recorded October 19, 2007 at Margaret A. Hart '35 Gospel Fest at the Church Street Center in North Adams MA. Now, over a decade later, that revelatory performance finally sees the light of day on this brilliant compilation.
The timing for the release of The Gospel Truth Live couldn't be more perfect as the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame announced in December 2017 that it would be posthumously inducting Sister Rosetta Tharpe into the hallowed hall in April 2018 as an early influence on artists ranging from Elvis Presley to Bob Dylan. In a way, it's also an acknowledgement for Knight's musical contributions since she collaborated professionally and served as a confidante with Tharpe at the height of her popularity in the early 1950s. In addition two plays are currently in production about the music and relationship of Marie Knight and Sister Rosetta Tharpe. ""Marie and Rosetta"" is a musical that was produced by The Atlantic Theater Company in New York City. ""Shout Sister Shout The Musical"" debut at The Pasadena Playhouse in January of 2017."
